[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 62467, member: 111"] I think you've been spending too much time in the RULES forum, where the whole point to debate what the rules actually say, not what they SHOULD say, or what a DM should rule. That's always left up to the DM. If your DMs have allowed game play to come to a halt over rules, that's not a system problem, that a DM problem. My personal philosophy on rules and game play: 1. A player should be allowed a brief protest based upon rules if the DM makes a mistake (like, for example, having a character plunge to his death at the end of fly spell instead of feather falling). 2. The protest must be biref, and the DM is free to overrule the player, and should do so especially to keep things moving. 3. A side note should be made of the rules issue for off-line discussion. Some variation on that scheme will keep things moving and ensure that play always gets better over time, even if mistakes are made along the way. [/QUOTE]
