[QUOTE="John Brebeuf, post: 7298545, member: 6920177"] And why are you continuing to pretend that mentioning "stress" in one post somehow changes the meaning of "increased cognitive load" in a subsequent post? The latter means nothing more than "more cognitive load than there was previously," and implies NOTHING about its intensity. Thus, my original reply to that post is still entirely on point: reading a new book most definitely increases one's cognitive load. The only reason we're still discussing this issue is because I allowed myself to be led astray by your initial red herring, a mistake I will most assiduously avoid henceforth. As to why the DM must have mastery of the classes being played, I already answered that: because he's the Dungeon MASTER, not the Dungeon Facilitator. His judgments in the game are final, and so his judgments must be fully informed by the rules governing how classes function for those judgments to be "masterful" ones. [/QUOTE]
