[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6843730, member: 97077"] I just cleared my ignore list yesterday and didn't realize until now that you're engaged in this discussion. As I recall, I blocked you a while back because you were unable to discuss a topic without constantly turning on the outrage manufacturing machine to distract from the points being made. So perhaps we can give this another try: As I have stated numerous times in this thread, my objection is to the assertion that there is an objectively right or wrong way to roleplay a character as set forth by the rules as some in this thread have stated, suggested, or supported. Yeah, I think that the way some of you guys choose to prioritize is a complete waste of time and energy. You probably think the same of me. That's fine - those are all opinions, not assertions of fact. It's when you (the universal "you") starts saying the rules say [I]this[/I] is the right way to roleplay Int 5 and [I]that[/I] is the wrong way that you're going to get pushback. I'm not the one claiming others are having "badwrongfun," as you stated. I'm arguing [I]against[/I] such a notion, even if I think the way of some of you conduct yourselves at your own tables isn't my cup of tea. Therefore, if you are arguing against notions of "badwrongfun," we are in fact in agreement on that point. It's pretty clear to me who is saying others are having "badwrongfun" and who isn't. I invite you to reexamine this so that it is clear to you, too. Finally, as to whether it's intended for us to portray our characters in accordance with ability scores, that is up to the individual since the rules do not mandate it either way. I might do, or I might choose not to. It's up to me to decide that, nobody else, social contract aside. The consequences for having low ability scores will arise when it's time for me to roll some dice which I will try to avoid to the best of my ability anyway no matter what my ability score. [/QUOTE]
