[QUOTE="Father of Dragons, post: 3651677, member: 52294"] Given that the GM represents the entire game universe, unless just about everything is reduced to die rolls, they are going to have to make large amounts of judgement calls about how the character's actions are going to be interpreted and reacted to, anyway. There are some players and GMs out there that seem to believe an absolutely mechanical system where everything is solved by rolling dice or some other completely impartial mechanism would be the perfect RPG (IE, like a computer game). I happen to like the quirks of a game run by an actual human being. Nature (virtues and vices) is just one more such judgement call. The unavoidable differences of opinion involving these calls, are, in my opinion, just one of the costs of having a real live person run the game. And sometimes, one of the charms. And life is too short by far to play with people I don't trust. [/QUOTE]
