Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Magician" data-source="post: 2641013" data-attributes="member: 14978">Oh, yeah. I really AM assuming the DM didnt make all the necessary rolls for his assassin NPC. Why am I assuming? Because the information isnt in his text. And they way it is written, it gives the impression to me(and I can see to others as well) that the encounter wasn't a fair one. Assuming things is not wrong. I dont have to check my brother's DNA everytime I see him, or get his fingerprints, so I am sure it IS him infront of me. I will just assume that if it looks and smells like my brother, that it is my brother. We all do it all the time, every single day of our lives. There is no such thing as complte information. And there is no such thing as sending a message and having the receiver to fully understand it. It is impossible. So yeah, we have to put pieces together and interpret messages all the time, and they way I interpret the messages in this thread is that teh encounter wasnt fair. I dont care about PCs dying (that's not what people are talking about, here), as I dont care about DMs gloating. The problem lies when the PCs die unfairly and when DMs gloat about using their "powers" unfairly.YOu are damn right the thread only got this reaction because it was the PCs that died, and not an NPC. A PC that died in a way interpreted by many as unfair. And people are not wrong to assume it was unfair. That is how they are reading it and interpreting it. Here is another assumption. I assume the OP glotated about himself in this thread waiting for attention and taps on his back(Oh well, you cant blame people to think differently from you.). Anything wrong with that? Not at all! Heck, I do it all the time. Who doesn't like a little attention? Do I think he is a lousy DM? No, I dont even know him or how he DMs! Do I think he killed that PC unfairly? You bet, baby. And I feel so positive it was unfair that I would have a hard time believing him, if he came to the forums and said he made all the necessary rolls for his assassin.So yeah, defend the scenario if you want, tell people they are wrong, that they are assuming things. It wont change the fact that a lot of people interpreted the situation that way. Myself included. And the world keeps spinning...</blockquote>
