[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8151861, member: 15700"] Just to focus on this bit. Yes, you are. You are the one to make the final decision. Whether that decision is to leave it up to the players, or to ask, or which option you choose, you're the one still making that decision. The fact that your examples are only situational where you aren't sure about something proves this. Otherwise, you'd be changing rules and getting player input on rules you were sure on as well. If we are playing, and you say the ogre hits my PC for 25 damage on it's attack, and I say, "No it doesn't. I dive out of the way at the last moment." Do I get my way? What if the other players agree with me? And now none of us ever take damage from monsters. Ever. Because the other players and I always tell you what we don't suffer ill effects from creatures you control. Unless you are the sole arbiter of the rules, the above would be allowed regardless of how you felt or wanted. I doubt that's the case in your games, and that you do in fact act as sole arbiter.
