[QUOTE="Arch-Fiend, post: 7844916, member: 7016641"] if A - B, and A=C,D,E,F while B= a stand in for any 1 or multiple of a longer list of letters which are used in context to what causes B. then A - B is an expression of C,D,E,F - anything which can be B. this assumes that B can be applied to C,D,E,F and my entire point has been exploring if anything else applied to A before - B which changes how - B applies to A would conflict with what we know about C,D,E,F as despite C,D,E,F not being defined in the game further than they = A, those terms have their own meaning and its implied we are meant to use them for their meaning otherwise they wouldnt be used at all as they serve no further purpose than to specify what A is representing. also A happens to be hitpoints and a property of creature's and B happens to be damage if that wasent obvious. could you find anything in the statement you are replying to with this where what i said is in conflict with what you outline in your reply? pick something specific out of what i said, tell me where its an example of changing the abstract, if you cant do that i have no way of knowing what you are referring to.
