[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7237696, member: 284"] I will say, this particular point of debate may say more about the gaming environment we play in, than anything about the rules or D&D traditions. Most of my D&D play time for the last 20 years has been in one form of Organized Play environment or another (Living City, Living Greyhawk, Living Arcanis, Living Forgotten Realms (or whatever it was in 4e), Pathfinder Society, and most recently Adventure League). Most of my gaming is at the local gaming store or at a convention. Rolled stats are never an option. NPC's all come from pre-written modules. The things you consider "tradition" just don't come up in that environment. So while they may indeed be traditional for you and the friends you normally game with, they aren't tradition for the majority of players that I'm familiar with. They aren't even tradition for me, and I started playing D&D with the Red Box and soft plastic dice that you had to color the numbers in with crayon. [/QUOTE]
