[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7672682, member: 92511"] In my experience, this is untrue. They would certainly make snarky comments about the chocolate in the their proverbial peanut butter. They would, most likely, ban it from their games and play as if it doesn't exist regardless of what a manual/guidebook for the game says...and in their game/their world, it wouldn't exist. But they are highly unlikely to drop a game they enjoy because of this single piece of fluff they deem undesirable or useless. <emphasis mine> Let's be fair here, Yaarel, and call a spade a spade. We're talking about a game of make-believe fantasy played in no small part with one's imagination. So, there really is no "can't" involved. Especially in terms of flavor/fluff where you don't have to touch the rules at all [such as playing clerics without deities] if you can imagine it, it can be done. So there really is, only, "won't" here. And that's totally your prerogative, for whatever reason, though I think most will find it lacking or difficult to understand. There can certainly also be "don't want to"...but that's kind of a subset of/reason for "won't". But there is no "can't." It's a make-believe game and world. [/QUOTE]
