[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 889473, member: 1331"] Not quite. You were told that, when presenting a house rule, you should label it as such. Many readers of this forum have less than 100% familiarity with the rulebooks, so in order to avoid causing confusion, we try to label interpretations that don't follow directly from the text. You really have no call to get snarky and sarcastic. You did not present that post as your opinion. You stated that DD does preserve momentum, full stop. If you had said "this is how my game works" or "this is how I think it should be," that would be one thing, but you didn't. You're making the wrong assumption here. "Argument from silence" is not a fallacy in this situation, because real-world physics is assumed to be inapplicable to magical effects. (If a paltry [i]teleport[/i] of a few hundred miles will suddenly subject the caster to air resistance and Coriolis forces, I really wouldn't want to play a mage in your game.) [/QUOTE]
