[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9336230, member: 6790260"] Oh, but my dear FrozenNorth, the player is supposed to trust the DM implicitly. Nothing the DM does is ever worthy of suspicion, because it is the DM who does it; the DM does not need to [I]earn[/I] trust, they [I]deserve[/I] trust simply because they are DM. Or at least that's how a certain group of fans seems to see it. Me, I hear that stuff and want to run for the hills. And what of divine casters? They have access to every spell on their spell list. The books even specifically say so. I also really, really don't think you hate to invoke rule 0. Rather the opposite, actually. Well then, you won't mind me doing other rule-affecting things in an abstract, between-sessions kind of way that has no more justification than "oh I did downtime for that," right? (I of course do not at all expect you to say 'yes.' Because this exception is quite clearly opening a doorway to doing almost anything one wants with a fig-leaf excuse.) Good thing no one is asking for that, and several people (myself included) have explicitly said so. Repeatedly, in my case. [/QUOTE]
