[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 5985034, member: 6698278"] Funny. I hope you jest. Otherwise I'll have to accuse you of grossly misinterpreting what the guy said. Here's what I think he meant... 1. Tactics matter on the combat battle field. Tactical choices are made by the player (acting as the character of course) and use player skill. An 18 intelligence doesn't allow you to ask the DM to move your character. 2. Preparation. You can't just say to the DM - hey I'm smart so I take whatever I'm gonna need. As DM I would respond - you are too smart to try something silly like that. Fighting that dragon you mention is going to perhaps take some additional preparation beyond normal equipment etc... 3. Riddles, puzzles, clues, mysteries, etc... "I solve riddle roll my intelligence" isn't going to work. 4. Roleplaying. The player voices out his words and actions BEFORE rolling. Or doesn't even roll at all in the more extreme cases. Thats just a few examples. [/QUOTE]
