The change might have been a retrofit so that the PC couldn't do it yesterday either. Even if the players know that he did.The bones may change the meat. But not necessarily. Multiple sorts of meat can use the exact same bones. That does sound weird, I know but I think that shows why the meat/bones terminology isn't very helpful. I hope I didn't assert that because I don't think it. As you say it's patently false. But lots of different settings could, and probably do, use the same rules.Not necessarily. The civilisation could be composed of exceptional, lawful orcs while the majority of that world's orcs remain in a barbarous state.Yeah, you might be right about that. I think you could get away with just using the rules in the DMG. And just cause there are no oceans, doesn't mean the rules for them don't exist.I'm sure you can imagine all sorts of world. All sorts of arrangements of nations, politics and cultures and so forth; organisations of humans, humanoids and monsters; BBEGs of all sorts of flavours.All using the exact same rules. One has to distinguish between the rules and the things (places, peoples, creatures, objects) that are subject to those rules.</blockquote>
