[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 3227938, member: 11"] For the record, my objection is not "negating abilities" - it is explanations that make no sense. Even when my players cannot figure out what the hell is going on (and in some cases never do) they trust me to have had a reason and framework for how it worked (even if outside the normal rules) that would make sense if they [I]did[/I] find it out. Cold that harms cold-resistant/immune creatures? Must be [I]divine[/I] magic of the godly sort (by way of making up a reason off the top of my head) - which makes sense if the party is in the cold layer of the Abyss or something - but not if they are wandering around Joe Evil-Wizard's tower saving the Princess. Hmm, you know what. .? I take take it back. I don't think its bad or sloppy design. .. who said it was all about context? I agree with that person instead. .. In fact, I will amend my opinion to be: It is fine to do depending on the context, execution and frequency. [/QUOTE]
