They have the dex to get them through and the strength to lift the door, the wisdom to remember tales of the lost. the intelligence to bust the code on the map.

The sheer absurdity and mutual exclusiveness of both terms is enough to cause me a double hernia from laughing so hard! It isn't really realism they want. They want to exert more control over a perceived weakness of the game rules. The rules work fine, whatever they may be. This is the reason I gave up on D&D after 3rd edition. It catered to power gaming whiners and not to the imagination. I think Scott has the right of it in his comment. I'll second that Amen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984288086117088359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-31988411206759719492015-02-06T02:13:05.041-08:002015-02-06T02:13:05.041-08:00You may be excused if you pay your Joesky Tax. :-)...You may be excused if you pay your Joesky Tax. :-)GreyKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573812542452845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-44983515857886663412015-02-05T23:14:28.486-08:002015-02-05T23:14:28.486-08:00eh.
