[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4331630, member: 48965"] This just doesn't make sense. The GM does determine how the world functions. Using D&D as an example, a DM decides what DC is used whenever a player decides to perform an action. Now you may say the world dictates this... but it doesn't. A DM decides then and there at that moment how hard something is. If a PC is trying to climb a cliff the DM may rule it's a DC 20 check or a DC 15 check or etc. The player may feel (from the DM's description of the cliff)l it should be a DC 10 check. Perception in and of itself is flawed (and even moreso when not true perception but based upon words),and thus depending on numerous peoples perceptions to "define" the reality of the game world cannot do anything but eventually cause a conflict. Who decides the ultimate result of said conflict... the DM doeas and thus he controls how the world functions. [/QUOTE]
