They always involve guessing what the person creating the puzzle or riddle was thinking. "What has 4 legs in the morning, two during the day, and 3 in the evening" is a nice riddle, but there is absolutely no guarantee anyone gets the idea that someone would phrase times of the day as ages, and also factually, not all old people need walking canes. And there is only one valid answer, even if someone were to find a different solution (using different similes). Also, it doesn't really have much to do with my character. I can play a Int 20 Wizard, but I am not that smart or versed in puzzles and riddles as he'd probably be. The Int 6 Half-Orc Barbarian player however might love this kind of stuff. And it's nice if that player is having fun and we can pretend that his solution is actually my Wizards, but it doesn't really feel like I get to play my role.I guess I like murder mysteries, though, but because they tend to have amore systematic approach to solving them. Search for clues everywhere, talk with all the witnesses and suspects. [/tangent]</blockquote>
