[QUOTE="EOL, post: 62288, member: 823"] I'm saying that with 3E if something is encounted which is unclear the first instinct is to start parsing the semantics: is fleetness of foot an actual description or is it just flavor text, lets ask on the messageboards, has someone asked the sage? (something you're guilty of) Finally two weeks later some kind of consensus is reached. Or on the other hand the DM looks at it says I don't think it should apply to flying or I think it should and 60 seconds later its over and done with. The assumption with 3E is that everything must have a definitive absolute answer and we're going to analyze the question until we come to that absolute answer, when the question isn't even really that important. So that the DM rather than making a quick ruling and moving on feels he has to spend hours posting and responding to posts and e-mailing the sage. It's not terrible until it brings actual gameplay to a screeching halt, which in my experience sometimes happens. [/QUOTE]
