[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9674583, member: 6785785"] But it doesn’t. The definition from the 5e DMG is different from the dictionary definition. There can be non-combat encounters in a dungeon. There can be non-combat encounters in an adventuring day. You are imagining that I’m saying something I’m not. I’ve now explained this to you four times. Oh no… you said that no matter what, they’re encounters. Here: So my guess is that your answer… when I asked if you can simply accept that I view it differently than you… is “No”. Oh I’m not angry. And any issue I have with you is not because of you liking D&D. I like D&D myself, and have for decades. No, the issue was you put some confusing comments out there and then accused others of bad faith when they expressed confusion over them. Then, rather than acknowledging that either (a) your ideas were not as coherent as you thought, or (b) that because of differing definitions of the word “encounter” as game jargon versus its standard usage, there could perhaps be more than oneway to interpret things… you just doubled down on blaming others and accusing them of bad faith. So if you have any kind of cooties… it’s whatever you’d call those kind. [/QUOTE]
