[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8621376, member: 6790260"] You really shouldn't say this, because [I]even the DMG[/I] explicitly says NOT to do this. Like, repeatedly. It's EXTREMELY clear that you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT do things "everything at the same level." You should provide a wide diversity of challenges, from very easy to very hard, [I]loosely[/I] centered around the party's level. Which...is exactly what many, MANY DMs have been doing for every edition (and several other totally distinct games!) since the very beginning. Making challenges that are at least somewhat reasonable for the party. Yeah...people have a tendency to pretend that those lines simply don't exist or have no significance. They are [I]exactly[/I] the thing requested, but it always gets blown off. It's honestly really disheartening and annoying, because it's such a blatant "no true scotsman" argument. "There is no fluff text!" "...what about the italicized text? Which is literally fluff description of the action?" "Pfft, that's not REAL fluff text!" [/QUOTE]
