[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3874682, member: 18280"] It isn't a "defense". Whenever you try to change someone's mind about something, the burden of proof falls upon you. I am just saying, if your goal is to change my mind, this method is unlikely to do it. CR/EL, IMHO, doesn't work well. "X doesn't work because it doesn't work with CR/EL" is therefore a non-argument. It has no "pull" with me. I am happy to discuss why I think CR/EL doesn't work well; however, doing so here would derail this thread. Make a new one, throw me a link, and I'll swim in it like a quipper in a flooded dungeon. ;) If, of course, you don't care what I believe, you have no burden of proof (at least, as far as I am concerned). Which is perfectly fine. We don't have to believe the same things. :D RC EDIT: Every encounter is one in which there is an "X% chance of death", btw. That chance is only "automatic" if, as I said many times previously, you wake up with bodaks in your bed, or you have no ability to gather intelligence about encounters beforehand. This is a playstyle problem, IMHO, not a design problem. If you wake up with monsters in your bed, or have no ability to gather intelligence about encounters beforehand, then you should probably eschew SoD encounters. The game as written, however, gives you many means by which you can gather intelligence long before an encounter occurs. [/QUOTE]
