[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 9084275, member: 6901101"] Wait, so you actually believe the DM just hand waved this? Even though in the examples there was probably going to be some clear roleplay, or at the least, some narrative, that explained to the character why. Even if it was as simple as: "You walk up and declare your house and title to the 8 efreet fanatical guards that stand at the entrance door to the massive courtyard. They look confused and tell you to leave, booming: "The Sultan sees who he wants!" A literal short scene. Or the DM saying out of game: "You know, this place is so big, so grand, and so powerful, you get the feeling the efreet guards that you need to get by don't care about your title. In fact, if you mention your title near the guards, they seem even more indifferent." Or the DM saying: "Well, I looked at that feature and I am afraid it doesn't work here. It says locally and I read that as near your home. If you want, we can discuss it later and get a clearer picture. But for the sake of the game, just know it doesn't work here, in Brass City." Did you seriously think the DM, after all our discussions, just said: "You can't even try to do that." And also would refuse to listen to the player's counterargument? Did you really believe that?
