[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9726420, member: 6790260"] Well, I was more referencing that "fudging" in the extended sense of adding or removing opposition creatures isn't meaningfully different from adding or removing hit points (or damage output, or what-have-you), in the sense that all of them are altering the world for non-diegetic reasons because of a metagame motive (namely, shaping player experience in ways intended to be positive). I referenced this because the discussion chain (as far back as I had checked it) had gone something like Lanefan: A sinking ship suddenly having extra goons definitely is "spawning in" and is [I]no bueno[/I] Hussar: I see no difference between that and altering a creature's stats at the table Clearstream: Okay, but what if the difference is taste? I can't really read your reply as having any meaning, unless it is in the context of what Hussar said, which only has meaning in the context of responding to Lanefan. Hence, I...can't really respond to what you've said in this post, because none of that was part of the context to which you had replied. As far as I can tell, Hussar was the only person you had quoted in that post. [/QUOTE]
