Message: <blockquote data-quote="FrozenNorth" data-source="post: 9078961" data-attributes="member: 7020832">I’m not sure the issue is really players seeking an advantage.  I think the real issue is DMs having to share authorial intent with players, particularly in circumstances where the players’ exercise of authorial intent conflicts with something the DM intends, but has not established at the table.If your interpretation is true, a player who used authorial intent to disadvantage their character wouldn’t trigger a reaction, people’s posts suggest they do. Which goes back to [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] ’s implied point.  The phrase “altering the game’s reality” means altering the game state the GM holds in their head, even if it hasn’t been established at the table, and even if the game state as established at the table is consistent with two or more outcomes.</blockquote>
