[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8699145, member: 5889"] Feel free to enlighten me. There are tons of stories out there...but they work because the author is holding all the cards. The characters work the way the author says they are going to work, and so the plot always turns out the way the author wants. With dnd its a bit different. As everyone has some creative license in the story, and because players generally like to win, they are going to do things that help them do that. Also, PCs don't really get "tired" in a sane mortal way, which causes a lot of narrative dissonance. While a story character would be bored to tears doing the same thing for 5 minutes straight, a PC cleric will gladly cast guidance every minute of every day if it eeks them out some extra benefits....or until the DM tells them to stop because its silly:) [/QUOTE]
