[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8692930, member: 23751"] Nope! A bad faith DM is one that refuses to narrate the results of an action as RAW and the social contract dictate. I said nothing about going above and beyond that. If a wood elf hides in light obscurement, the DM is obligated to describe the result of that action in a way that shows him hiding in light obscurement. If a dragonborn breathes fire on someone, the DM is obligated to describe the result of that action in a way that shows him breathing fire on the enemy. If a half-orc crits an enemy, the DM is obligated to describe the result of that action in a way that shows the attack to be more savage than normal. If a halfling gets lucky on a skill check, the DM is obligated to describe the result of that action in a way that shows the halfling to be lucky. I'm not saying that the halfling should get something extra, or be treated in a special way. I'm saying the DM is obligated to narrate the results of the halflings actions in accordance with RAW and if the DM refuses, ruining a significant aspect of who the halfling PC is in the process, that DM is acting in bad faith with his refusal to follow RAW.
