I am disagreeing with them, and agreeing with Mistwell, that it is possible under certain conditions that - at least in my experience - aren't that uncommon in this style of D&D play.Under those conditions your contention - or at least implication - upthread that the movement case and the troll case are relevantly similar doesn't hold. I've never encounted D&D play in which players use decision procedures that produce an answer to what do I try against the troll given my weapon isn't working without being affected by actual knowledge of troll vulnerability. Whereas I agree with Mistwell that it is not uncommon for there to be decision procedures which do produce an answer of where do we go next without being affected by actual knowledge of an optimal path.If your experience is different well, I guess that's that. We're all playing in different communities and have experienced different things as typical and atypical.</blockquote>
