[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8661069, member: 6987520"] By that logic, a PC is not limited to his character sheet... But we all know a player doesn't just get to add stuff to his character because he feels like it... Obviously. Are you kidding? If a "new" DM is trying to run a CR 26 monster, they are going to do it "wrong" regardless (as in not going by the rules as written) unless they have devoted a lot of time to learning how the game works. Trying to understand everything in this stat block is a nightmare for a new DM IMO. At least with spells and spellcasting, you have a common ground to PCs for the DM to work with. Yes, you have to look up/ rely on spells. OH NO! The [I]horror![/I] :eek: It's only what players and DMs have already been doing for [I]decades[/I] now. Anyway, I see little point in continuing this conversation. Reply if you wish, but I won't be. We simply will never agree on this issue or, IMO, the general direction WotC is taking the game. While [I]you[/I] might be fine as an old-hat at D&D with all the changes, there are plenty of us old-hats out there who aren't. [/QUOTE]
