[QUOTE="Wolffenjugend, post: 1338232, member: 11069"] Did you even read my post? Whose claiming to be the "ultimate arbiter..." blah, blah, blah. Your words, not mine. My "authority" comes from experience. Lots of it. If you disagree, good for you. You earn a cookie. But it's been my experience that groups that play in DL tend to be much more role-playing oriented than groups that play in, for example, the Forgotten Realms. If your experience is different, then that's great. You earn another cookie. But my original statement still holds. It's been my experience that many of the people who play DL have read the novels and have a much better feel for the world and its epic scope; they have a feel for the idea that anything is possible for a bunch of heroes. They tend to have a broader world view and are not so concerned with what prestige class they're going to take next or how best to min/max their character, regardless of how silly (but legal) it would be. I can't effectively communicate in a simple post why DL is what it is. If you still can't get your head around it, I'd suggest joining a DL group and seeing for yourself. But anyhoo, whatever, opinions vary. And that's mine. If you don't like it, tough. If I don't like yours, tough. That's the way the cookie crumbles... (I couldn't resist :-)) [/QUOTE]
