You find the genre emulation notion of "a god did it" an esthetically pleasing one to you so you have no need to look behind the curtain. On the other hand, I prefer the genre emulation of paladins being powered by their near-fanatical commitment to the cause of good and a god isn't a required element to his abilities. So "god did it" simply doesn't work for me in this sense. To me, paladin powers on a daily use, or wizards and clerics for that matter, are not associated mechanics in the slightest. They are pure game constructs. For me that's ok, I like playing games. What I really don't get from the dissasociative and deep immersion (if they are related as I think I'm getting from this thread) is why seeing part of the game in action at the table is such a problem for some players of the game. I mean, how is rolling some pieces of plastic while surrounded by friends immersive?</blockquote>
