[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1080718, member: 891"] Not for me. Just get players to quote them back when needed. "Hey you, what do we do when 3 Kobolds jump on a pig and run around the maypole drinking and playing ballads to Sahaugin women? -look that up while I deal with this guy." I don't see it that way. Way I see it, they let the game be consistant. The player and DM know that enytime you go dancing with toads, the roll will be the same... On this I highly disagree.
