[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4929054, member: 48965"] Your argument makes no sense... The DM always decides if something is doable or not. You seem to be saying that the DM should be forced to scrounge through pages of powers to get a reference for adjudicating effects... but that a concise table that gives him guidelines for this is somehow bad? Any DM can change the rules and nothing in the books makes one beholden to them. All you're doing is saying searching for the guidelines in a roundabout way as opposed to them just being presented is better...because... it's better that way... Taking this reasoning even further, all the DM had to do was look at different powers or monsters to determine ad-hoc damage... I mean we already know that 1d10 dmg is more than 1d8 dmg is more than 1d6 dmg, so with that we should be able to make some pretty accurate ad-hoc judgements... :confused: In the end, what I'm suggesting would be beneficial to people who want to use it and easily ignorable (as many say their players choose to do with pg. 42 anyway). If you feel that the book controls the DM... well that seems more a problem with the DM. [/QUOTE]
