[QUOTE="Rodney Mulraney, post: 7219188, member: 6904821"] And Id wish youd stop doing that :P The very reason I word things like I do, is because it is easiest to find out if I am wrong if I do that. Some of the best DMs, who have an amazing grasp of the rules, do not play by them, they are so experienced and good at what they do, they have devised a whole host of rulings/shortcuts/changes that make for a better for them and their players game. You and others may assume I am an arrogant jerk, but as I keep explaining, I am just trying to efficiently get to the crux of what vanilla 5e mechanics/rules/intentions are. I freely tell others what I know, but my goal and love is learning. EDIT: oh yeah I forgot to say, but I only bothered to join this forum to get information, because I read many threads here and realised the high level of knowledge and experience you all have, it is because I have a high respect for you all, that I choose to make threads here in the hope of learning from you all. EDIT2: Oh, I should mention as well, that im addicted to learning things. So you may think that how I word things is "wrong", but I have a massive experience in learning all sorts of things and have homed in on what is for me the optimum way of extracting information from various sources. So it is unlikely you will convince me to change how I do this... I appreciate your intention of helping me on that, even if it is misplaced. Out of the minority of people that care about my "wording" and think I'm arrogant jerk, most of them will want to correct me; which is exactly what I want. The few that will feel that way and not even want to interact with me over the issue, are generally the type of personalities that it is hard getting useful information from anyway. Incidentally the perfect information source is someone who words things exactly like I do (maybe with better grammar), since they pay little attention to feelings and just state exactly what they think are the facts and they do not mince words; you know that they think they are stating actual facts.
