[QUOTE="MoutonRustique, post: 6658555, member: 22362"] Bolded part (1) - ideally, yes, this can be true. However, and this is certainly the part I oppose as [I]mother may I?[/I] style, is that it very easy can be false. From [I]my[/I] experience, it isn't the ideal scenario that is prevalent. Hence, I don't like it. I understand this can be considered "DM consistency" and it would not be wrong. On the other hand, since so many situations are likely to come up within this framework that keeping it all straight can become a very real challenge (one which is not always met with success) there's a "set yourself up to fail" situation going with the [I]mother may I?[/I] approach. Bolded part (2) - this is the part where it is clear that many talk past each other (I'm including myself here) as we have vastly different base definitions in mind. One of the core precepts of [I]mother may I?[/I] is that I [I]don't[/I] know before hand. I have to wait until I get the "all clear" to know if what I think is possible. What you present would be a [I]ruling not rules[/I] situation vs a [I]mother may I?[/I] situation - from my perspective, of course. [/QUOTE]
