[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 8437084, member: 6799660"] This is definitely my issue too. Sometimes I don't have a pixel-level idea of what the environment is like. The two cliffs are 'over a person's reasonable running longjump'-distance apart, not a set number of meters apart. It is cold out, not exactly two degrees below freezing. Asking me specific just makes me make something up on the fly. It's one of my beefs with games with tables upon tables of modifiers to rolls -- usually right up until we break out those tables, half those parameters were undecided, so their inclusion didn't make the number you needed to roll any more 'true.' I [I]tend [/I]to agree, but sometimes someone is just operating on a different framework. Completely unrelated to gaming, I've had a myriad of conversations with my wife where one of us finally has to stop the conversation and state something akin to, [I]"you are burying the lead here, what happened(/what are you asking), and to what is it pertinent?"[/I] [/QUOTE]
