[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3420443, member: 22622"] So in what was a complete throw away thread for me, an issue came up with basic skills needed for Dungeons and Dragons. I'm not talking about spot and listen. What are the basic human skills needed to play the game. I've had a half dozen players over the years whom just couldn't add 2 digit numbers. On several occasions players have brought calculators. This frustrated other players and I've had to ask these players to leave. My first thought is math and reading of at least a 3rd grade level is required. Then I started thinking about other skills that might be needed. Basic critical thinking skills are neccessary as is a healthy imagination. Then again I could be wrong and all that is needed is for a person to show up and role play? What do you think are the basic skills needed for the game? Disclaimer: This thread is in no way demeaning anyone. The opinions are those of the DMs responding and their games. [/QUOTE]
