Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maxperson" data-source="post: 7517993" data-attributes="member: 23751">Statistical significance simply does not apply, though.  You can't shove a definition that isn't relevant into the mix.  Here is the definition you are trying to kludge through, "Statistically significant is the likelihood that a relationship between two or more variables is caused by something other than chance." That isn't meaningful in a comparison of mechanics and non-mechanics.  To you.  If you would just admit that these statements of yours only apply to you, my objections would go away.Prove that claim.  For my part, I see that the rules system includes non-mechanics that have great meaning.There's only ever a roll if the outcome is uncertain.  The DM can decide yes or no without a formula.  That's part of the rules.The bolded portion means that the part after it really isn't true.  If a rule were essential, it would be needed to play D&D.I'm not separating anything. I'm telling you how much weight of importance I give to each category.  Some people prefer mechanics more than roleplay. I prefer roleplay more than mechanics. Yet others prefer an equal balance.  That isn't a separation.  It's just telling you where my focus is.That wasn't my comment.No.  If YOU want gold to matter, YOU have to do the work to make it matter yourself.  I don't have to do any work, because it already matters in the rules as written.  The Downtime Activities section consists of rules that are written and covers much of what I have been saying. You play the game differently than I do, and that difference has created this problem for you.</blockquote>
