[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 8259611, member: 4881"] A wise ruler seeks the advice of others and incorporates it into their own opinion. Introspection in your decisions and the ability to change your mind when presented alternate views is a good thing, not something to avoid. At least in my opinion, anyway. We have 4 different GMs at our table ...and each GM has their personal views on how to rule in a corner case. I tend to allow for "rule of cool" and always try to reinforce skill use and creative combat by being very generous in what I allow. When I'm a player, I might try to do X which I would rule as being possible but another GM does not. I'm a grown, mature adult and can accept their decision as "right for them" but at the same time not how I would do it. Sometime I might make a ruling and the entire table disagrees with it. In those cases I will change it to accommodate the majority rule...because to me having 3-5 friends disagreeing with me tells me I'm overlooking something OR operating under different assumptions than the players were that got us to that point in the adventure.
