If not, I can ascertain that there must be some exceptional reason (supernatural, magic, incredible luck, etc) why that is not the case. •In contrast, D&D often presents me with a lot of information that doesn't tell me much of anything about a situation or how I should approach it. °What did it mean when a 4E ooze had a high charisma score? Was it an especially sexy ooze? Is it undulating in an especially convincing manner?°In 5E, if I stand a giant beside a halfling, I don't necessarily know anything about what their actual physical capabilities might be. My natural intuition is to suspect that the giant be physically stronger, but can I be sure of that? Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy D&D. My point is that -while GURPS may have more steps on paper- there are less mental steps (in GURPs) involved in reconciling what my mind says makes sense versus what the game says makes sense.</blockquote>
