You compared the way I play D&D with the wrongness of murder.I'm saying that the way I play D&D... the way where I let abilities work as described in the book, which is what we're talking about... does not result in anything that would justify your concerns about that style of play.They're really not. I'm simply confirming how my game works. The suppositions that you've made about it aren't valid.I'm not saying that you must or should play that way. I'm telling you your ideas about my type of play are inaccurate.I mean... you can choose to find a way to make it work. Or you can choose to find a way to make it not work. It's a choice.It's all made up. A way can be found. Instead of looking at the feature and saying "but that doesn't match what I was expecting" you could instead look at it as a fact. The audience is going to happen... how do we explain that? How do we make that work?I don't know how else to describe your resistance to letting the ability work. You have said you think it will make things inconsistent and so on.... that's the reason you don't want to do that. That's the fear you have about it.I'm not classifying your fear as irrational or anything. That's just the word for it. I also called it a concern. We can label it however we want, that doesn't change what it is.If by fixed, you mean you took a way to make the idea work and then made it not work, then sure... I guess it's fixed.Kinda proves my point, though. Yeah but in this case, all we're talking about is some minor abilities described in the main PHB. No splatbooks or rules expansions are involved. It's just letting the abilities work as described.That it takes some of the DM's authority and shifts it to the players is the real issue.</blockquote>
