[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7627305, member: 23751"] No, that sort of behavior is generally frowned upon here as well. I don't particularly care for soccer, but a buddy whose home we play at has a son who loves it. During one of our games I walked into the living room and his son was watching a soccer game. One of the players barely touched a player from the opposing team who fake flew like 3 feet and then fell to the ground. I laughed at the absurdity and was told that it was common behavior. I walked back to my game in disgust, glad that I don't watch soccer. I do like American football, but dislike when players try to cheat. I think our fundamental disagreement is where those boundaries lie. I disagree that the soft rules(guidelines) that involve in-game behavior are immutable. If a druid had a valid reason for putting on metal armor, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest as a DM, and as a player I'd be pissed if a DM was so inflexible as to deny what is a reasonable(not rules lawyer or find loophole) action. So, you're in the wrong place for that. :p As was pointed out to you in this thread, these sorts of discussions happen in the forum environment all the time. We are after all discussing what RAW means, so of course the meaning of the wording is going to come up. We all have different takes on what rules mean, even to the the point of going opposite of clearly worded instruction. In the thread that [MENTION=6799753]lowkey13[/MENTION] referred to yesterday about druids and disintegrate, I had people swearing that druids never hit 0 hit points in wildshape so as to avoid being wrong about the wildshaped druid triggering the dusting effect. This was despite very, VERY clear language that said that the wildshaped druid turns back to normal form when he hits 0 hit points. At least this conversation is about language that's more vague or optional. [/QUOTE]
