[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7896831, member: 6920677"] Sacrosanct, I understand you disagree with my position, perhaps even vehemently disagree, which is cool, but to make an assertion like : Is essentially claiming that I am acting in bad faith, or misrepresenting my testimony regarding how something makes [I]me[/I] feel. Sacro, with no malice at all, but with all seriousness, you have absolutely no [I]authority, expertise, or special insight[/I] into my psychological/Emotional feelings. Since you have [I]no way[/I] of knowing, of feeling [I]exactly[/I] what I feel, your declaration about what does or does not strain [I]my[/I] faith is incorrect. You can tell me how [I]you[/I] feel, but please do not tell me how [I]I[/I] feel....it is a bit presumptuous. To be honest I don’t know what this means: “The game is full of rules that require faith without necessarily adhering to suspension of disbelief. Hit points anyone?” Would you clarify? If I have faith in something then I can suspend disbelief. The Hit Point does not model reality, but over 40 years has proven it can model something fun, and easy to understand. Are you claiming the venerable [I]Hit Point[/I] is the [I]same[/I] sort of rule as “Unarmed Strikes are not weapons” How many other systems outside of [I]D&D 3e[/I] tell Bruce Lee he can not register his hands as lethal weapons? as for this: [I]And yes, it is fundamentally flawed to look at how a rule is written for a completely different game and base 5e's assumptions on that. 5e is a separate game and rules need to viewed through a 5e lens[/I] Pose this question as a separate topic, and let us see what the board thinks. I fundamentally disagree, but I am curious as to others opinions and [I]evidence[/I]. I (good naturally) throw down the gauntlet! 🤺 [/QUOTE]
