[@Shoryu Magami] I wish there was something I felt like I needed to add to the conversation above. However, I'm not here to convince anyone about the means I use to generate results. I think we have pretty much beaten this topic into the ground between the two threads. So I won't beat it into the ground. However, as my last post should show - I'm not losing out on creativity in the process of rolling some dice. This will only become more apparent as the battle goes on. With that being said, the other threads that I am currently involved with do well to show case that creativity as well. Nothing is being lost on my end. With that being said I could divulge that I have been role playing for about two decades at this point fighting IRT-pbp on Battle.net, using pbp on DesertRealm as well as on here before Guildfall and any number of forums in the past or the number of dice games that I play as well. We could talk about tertiary education, degrees and mental achievements. We could talk about personal experience with martial arts or spectator experience as well. It all comes down to one thing - there is always a way out. Short of a gun to the face, 99.9% of the time a way out can be discerned. I am taking that out of the picture - at least for me. I can easily write out how my characters do battle with or without dice. However, using dice takes away that urge to use logic and reason to a point where we are playing dodge poke dodge all day. I may very well lose every battle - but I'm okay with that because I can still be creative and write it well. Fighting is dirty, messy, and rarely goes as anyone think it should. This dice just make it more fun for me. Use my mechanics, don't use 'em. Not going to ruin the fun for me. But I think we've beaten this discussion topic into the ground. So I'll stop now becaues I don't want to piss you off where to stop paticipating. [b]But more importantly, just for clarification what spells has your character cast. You are using what I presume to be latin as your words of focus. But I'm not quite sure what spells you have cast. This information is vital in order to write appropriately how it might influence my character.[/b] Otherwise, I have added the disclaimer for your benefit since apparently Rilla is a dead-beat moderator. And I have posted. Now I am going to sleep. I may be able to post before work tonight. Otherwise, I won't be able to do so until tomorrow morning. As always comments, concerns, and questions are always welcome. Edit: Ask your questions, I'll get to them. But like I always mentioned, you are not required to use them. You don't even have to look at them if it is easier for you not to. Also, we are - I just forgot. My apologies.
