[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8407880, member: 6855114"] Should express : used to show when something is [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/likely']likely[/URL] or [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/expected']expected[/URL]: and: used to [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/suggest']suggest[/URL] that a [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/situation']situation[/URL] [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/possibly']possibly[/URL] [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/exist']exists[/URL] or might come into [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/existence']existence[/URL] As in the following sentences: You should do X. You must do X. Which one is more compelling? Yep, the second one. This is from the Dictionnary... So should is less strong that must. But this forum isn't for semantics. The main point is: As stated earlier, someone might not own said book. Deity and Demi Gods. This means that for all intent and purpose, using only the DMG, PHB and MM, these are not gods. Individual DM might do it. Most do it, even I. But using core books only? Nope. I knew quite a few DM that only had the core books. They did not owned any other books save maybe a "module" or two, and even then, it was OD&D (B1 and B2). So discussing something that is not in the core books with them was pointless. It might be why I always try to stick with the core books. Not out of spite, but as a habit. Not everyone can afford 3 PHB, buy two copies of each book as I do. Or can rebuy old books that were burned in a fire for that matter... God did I lost a lot in that fire... [/QUOTE]
