I really am here to learn things and (gasp!) sometimes I'm wrong and have stuff to learn. There are a ton of people here who approach gaming from different perspectives than I do that I'd love to game with and have learned things from. I have been playing since the 70s, and there are people here who have been gaming longer than me. In this case I was genuinely thinking "I don't get this." I like different perspectives even if I disagree with them. And from what you wrote later, I think we enjoy the same kinds of games that aren't D&D. Anyway, it was appreciated. And what you wrote about the mechanics is completely right. From the recent game I played in, we had a kobold Rogue with us who was not social at all. There was this moment where we met a dragon (I know, spoiler: a dragon in Dragon Heist!). The kobold, who's life goal is to be a sort of Major Domo for a dragon, fell before the dragon and poured his life out about how his goal in this existence was to serve a dragon master. It was amazing. My bard (who had expertise in Deception and a +10 bonus with advantage coming on the roll) just tipped his hat to the kobold. It was the best possible resolution.Now the Fighter just sat there the entire time, but the story was about how you didn't have to be the best to affect the Fiction, so I'll leave it at that.</blockquote>
