[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7269713, member: 22779"] If we take your four statements as true, factual statements, then the following are true: 1. Since you don't need to to play D&D, then it is not a requirement. Although this one is a bit different from saying that you "don't need to roll". A closer statement would be, "You do not need the 3.5 D&D books to play 3.5 D&D." Meaning that I can play 3.5 D&D perfectly well without the books. Which is true. You can play 3.5 D&D with the SRD and not have a problem. 2. Do don't need to shop at the grocery store means that if the grocery store did not exist, it would be perfectly fine. 3. You don't need a car. Again, since I don't need it, if cars did not exist then it would not matter to me. 4. You don't need a job. Presumably I have income from somewhere else and if I never got a job or jobs did not exist, then I would never notice. The problem is, you're trying to insist on a single interpretation of a word that has a somewhat fuzzier meaning. I'm not saying you're wrong in your interpretation, just that there are more than one interpretations. [/QUOTE]
