[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8364997, member: 7026617"] That's only because most of us have been around this rodeo before. Use it around people who aren't familiar with the OSR and see how they interpret it sometime. I promise you, its not going to likely be positive. Well, the fact 3e was littered with traps and false attractants didn't hurt. I'd also (and if you hear some negativity in my response, you're not wrong) knowing your GM. As I've noted any number of times over the years, the "sensible" response to an action can seem vastly different even among two players, let alone a player and the GM, and until you know your particular GM well, predicting what that will be is not a given. If someone objects to the semantic loading in a term, they're not required to accept it just because its convenient for the people using it. [/QUOTE]
