[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 4486752, member: 1003"] The way I (and my friends) prefer D&D, yes it does. I didn't mean "ignoring the rules" of the game so much as I meant "ignoring the rules of the world." The world as you've described it to the PCs. And I didn't mean "cheating" in the sense that you fudged dice, but rather in the sense that you changed the rules of the world to suit your story. From my point of view (and others who share it), city guards being 4th level is just as much a "rule" as the rules governing Bull Rush, or how much damage a Fireball does. It's a "game world" rule as opposed to a "game system" rule, but it's still a rule. It's a rule because I've told me PCs that "Anything over level 5 is really heroic." I can't take that back without "cheating." I hope that helps. I wasn't being derogatory, just trying to describe the style of play. In our style actions which would be "cheating" are obviously not cheating in other styles. [/QUOTE]
