The goal posts were fine where they were.And the edition this tangent is based on, QWLF in AD&D…is, apparently surprisingly…about AD&D. Except you got it backwards. Folk wisdom is asserting the moon is cheese, looking through a telescope is not. Mirroring that to this discussion, reading the RAW…that you insisted on, but now refuse to accept…would be looking through the telescope. Rejecting RAW is deciding nope, it’s made of cheese. LOL. Except the bits in the AD&D DMG that say otherwise.Page 91. “All monsters would not and should not possess treasure! The TREASURE TYPES given in the MONSTER MANUAL are the optimums and are meant to consider the maximum number of creatures guarding them. Many of the monsters shown as possessing some form of wealth are quite unlikely to have any at all. This is not a contradiction in the rules, but an admonition to the DM not to give away too much!”Page 92. “Assign each monster treasure, or lack thereof, with reason.” No, I didn’t. I’m quoting the RAW for how DMs are advised to handle spells and you are telling me I’m wrong. You’re mistaken. The AD&D DMG specifically says to give wizards one spell per level gained. I’m pointing out the book is unclear as to how that’s handled. I get that people stopped reading the old books ages ago. But I’m quoting the thing to you. Not giving an opinion. Try reading it for yourself before shouting about the moon being made of cheese. There’s plenty of room to look through the telescope. Give it a shot. You might like it.</blockquote>
