[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4026664, member: 386"] Note: Just finished watching the hockey game - we were robbed! :) So if I come across as snarky or harsh, I don't mean to. No, you're right - basic reality has to exist at some level. You need that plausibility. You just don't [i]focus[/i] on the details at expense of theme. Well, maybe you just got back from the dungeon, your pack stuffed with gold, looking to burn it on magic items, ale, and whores. You're approached by the cleric who's been helping you out since level one. He tells you that the orphanage burned down and they need some cash to get it back in shape. What do you do? Let's say you tell him to get lost - the cleric in your party can cast Raise Dead, you don't need him or his wands of cure light wounds any more. The next time you're in town, the streets are full of urchins. The DM asks for a Spot check - the DC's pretty low, since the 7-year-old commoner who's trying to cut your purse has a low Sleight of Hand skill. You deal with him however you want. You sit down at your favourite tavern. You notice new whores in the back room. A lot of them are young. Really young. What do you do? etc. That's probably a pretty common scenario. [/QUOTE]
