[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6786977, member: 23751"] Not entirely true. If you make a bad decision in tactics, I won't fudge a thing. Fair enough. I house rule the game to make it better. Some people like to follow the rules exactly. I don't like games that follow RAW and refuse to deviate, either. Fortunately, it's easy to find people with like views so we can both be happy :) You're choosing to believe someone who has exhibited extreme confirmation bias. He has great bias against fudging and has blatantly picked math that doesn't have anything to do with what we are discussing here in order to confirm his bias......and yours. He chose multiple 20's in a row. Something nobody here requires or needs for the situation in order to artificially increase the odds. Then he added in more extreme missing than is required. Again to artificially increase the odds. Then he picked some campaign of non-existence where for some reason there are only ever 2 creatures in an encounter. Yet again, to artificially increase the odds. You're doing exactly what you said your friends did. You are looking at numbers and not seeing the truth due to your own bias. His numbers are less accurate than 1+1=2. You shouldn't be talking to me about confirmation bias when you yourself clearly can't get past it right here in this thread. Unlike Ezekial, I'm not going to invent fictional numbers in order to try and support my side of things. I don't know exactly how many encounters I have over a campaign. It varies. I don't know exactly how many creatures in total they encounter. It varies, but I can say that it is very, very frequently more than 2. How many attacks is that? Heck if I know, but most monsters have more than 1 attack unless we're talking lots of orcs or something. My campaigns go level 1-20, so there are a lot of mid to high level multi-attack monsters out there. Your confirmation bias is showing. You should cover it up ;) [/QUOTE]
