[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7601124, member: 6801845"] Well then it seems you made two mistakes. First, assuming that I knew what everyone said on every post. Second, assuming I knew what the heck you were trying to get at, which obviously I've missed by a country mile. In other words, huh? :confused: I'm not challenging what you're saying, just admitting my complete and utter incompetence at interpreting it. As far as my opinion I don't have a thesis, I just think there are things that are resolved completely by mechanics of the the character, the rules in the book and (usually) the roll of a die. On the other end of the scale you have things that are resolved entirely by the player with no regard to the capabilities granted to the PC by the game rules. Many things fall into a gray area between the two and personally I try to mix them up and include plenty of out-of-combat obstacles that lean more on the PC as a way of rewarding the trade-offs people made during their build.
