[QUOTE="JonnyP71, post: 7625875, member: 6788862"] Look, we're all going round in circles. "Will not" is quite sufficient, it is clear, and backed up by Sage advice - 'it's up to the DM, not the player'. The DM is the final arbiter, has right of veto, defines the setting and the rules to be used. You don't comprehend the meaning of the word 'rules' 'Taboo' DOES limit the character actions if the group as a whole respect the Lore - if they don't, well it's up to them. Thankfully I've never found a group like that... I've seen a few players with the 'it's all about ME' attitude, they've typically lasted 1-4 sessions before being shown where the door is and instructed to close it on the way out. You're willfully ignoring/misinterpreting 1E rules, especially regarding proficiencies. You're branding anyone who disagrees with you 'dumb', never a good stance to take. You're trying to attribute modern approaches of play/design to old school rulebooks, that were NOT written as you maintain they were. You're not listening to multiple people (who have more experience with the material in question than you do) telling you when are wrong - which you are - consistently. It is clear you've created this account here to argue stubbornly over one single issue which annoys you - and are unwilling to accept any other point of view on the issue. [/QUOTE]
