[QUOTE="orderofthings, post: 6941092, member: 6856566"] Nobody pulls off the railgun, it's a made up scenario that is used to illustrate how the rules can be used to support the absurd. I don't know where the sprites came from, I was pulling that from a previous comment. and it's not the "badwrongfun" card, it's the "there'snoreasonwhyphysicsshouldbehavelikethiseveninafantasysetting" card. If you want your player and his familiar to be able to cover that much ground in a single turn, go ahead. I'd maybe throw in a random NPC in the background going "holy smokes, how did they do that!?" You're not wrong for following the rules, and if you have never had to sit back and think "it's legal, but just doesn't make sense" then obviously you have no problems with the rules, no need for this conversation, and nothing to contribute besides "it's not an issue!" (which is true, even if only for you) Sorry if something I said made you feel like this was a personal attack, the responsibility I mentioned was a self-imposed responsibility that only applies to DMs who are in a position where a player is trying to do something that is legal but makes no sense, and who feels that things [I]should[/I] make sense (like, I don't know... the OP maybe). If one or all of those things don't apply to you then IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU AND YOU CAN PLAY HOWEVER YOU WANT. I personally feel like part of my job as DM is to interpret the rules in a way doesn't make us scratch our heads. [/QUOTE]
