[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 8240018, member: 6698278"] The reason why I am pushing back is because I don't think you are comprehending what the term means. I got your elaboration in your original post. A neutral DM does these sorts of things.... 1. He makes his NPC/Monster plans in advance so as not to be influenced by PC planning. 2. He doesn't change things midstream because things are going too good or too bad for the PCs 3. He lets the dice fall where they fall. Yes he plays the roll of the bad guys. And given their knowledge AND PERSONALITIES, he plays them to the best of his ability. If though they are cowardly, he must play them cowardly and not as super brave fight to the death types. That is all that being neutral means. It's not fudging. It's being fair and making impartial rulings. Impartial means ruling according to the rules and the world concept. It does not have anything to do with being impartial about having fun. Everyone wants to have fun. Being neutral and impartial helps promote more fun for everyone. The neutrality part is ABOUT rulings inside the game. [/QUOTE]
