[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8252724, member: 177"] So, when talking about physics, there is a [I]physical reality[/I] that does not care about our thoughts on the matter. Law is a human construct, however, so there is no objective reality to appeal to determine correctness. Lots of thinkers divorce themselves from practicalities. In human governance, law can be seen as a restriction or compulsion of action, explicitly or implicitly coupled with the consequences to be enacted by authorities for non-compliance. You are bound by law, insofar as there are professional or legal consequences for you if you do not comply. Game rules are merely the restrictions and compulsions. Game rules do not address what happens to someone who fails to comply - The rules of D&D do not lay out what you do if someone rolls a d12 instead of a d8 for damage, for example. Then feel free to disengage. I won't chase you. [/QUOTE]
