[QUOTE="Negative Zero, post: 178996, member: 3794"] personally, i think anytime a GM assumes that there's only one way to solve a given situation, whatever that way is, she's shortchanging both herself AND her players. my DM's favourite complaint is that we're advancing his story too far, too fast. coz we keep doing stuff that he doesn't expect, and we keep unearthing more info than we're prepared to deal with. of course, he always says it with a big goofy smile, coz in his words, it's the surprises and the look on the players faces that he plays for. i think that for the most part, there might very well be a notion that it's the fighter's job to "solve" situations. afterall, when people talk about balance, they're usually talking about hitpoints and damage. skills that govern roleplaying aspects of the game are, for the most part, a pretty new invention. people have how many years of habit to break? :) dammit! i digress yet again! imma shut up now ~NegZ [/QUOTE]
