[QUOTE="Allister, post: 4525547, member: 1082"] Because out of combat, there's more than 1 possible scenario and it pretty much impossible to have the roles actually enable anyone and everyone to take part. Take combat for example. Every class has a role and brings something unique to the table. As a DM, I don't really have to worry about "can Peter take part in this combat encounter?". Contrast this with the other examples I listed for noncombat. The thing is, even the Shadowrun designers realized this ad I think the WOTC designers did as well. How does Craft (haiku) help in the non-combat dungeon exploration route or the agatha christie murder style plot? The thing is, I don't consider combat and non-combat THAT different. There just both forms of encounter resolution but it is just that it is much eaier to get combat "defined". How does one make rules for say an encounter where the goal is to convince the court to send oldiers to the frontier? [/QUOTE]
