[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 2690823, member: 386"] I wouldn't say [i]should[/i] not, not unless we're talking about me in particular. If I was in your game, yes, let's roll it away (or watch me open a book or examine my character sheet). With someone else in another game? Who knows? Because that's the kind of puzzle I want. That's kind of a stretch on the word; let's say [i]challenge[/i] instead. I can't go down to the corner store and pick up a book of D&D for 3 bucks and fuddle around with AoOs and Save or Die spells and trying to outsmart the DM and all the particular things common to D&D. I [i]can[/i] do that with word puzzles, riddles, math puzzles, and crosswords. A lot of it depends on luck, that's true. But that's only in the moment. A party who has prepared for the upcoming fight, via divinations, then buffing spells, and then stealth for surprise, is going to have a lot less to worry about when the d20s come out. And you've also got all the builds of feats, levels, skills, spells, magic items, etc. to put together before you actually pick up the dice. [/QUOTE]
