"Just have fun anyway" is not useful advice, and the tone about it being a "ROLE PLAYING GAME" is frankly insulting. It's not contradictory to both role play and want to not have your character's effectiveness house ruled into oblivion by a DM. | |
| Sep 23, 2014 at 21:42 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | This answer is presenting a fix ("shift to a different playstyle"), but as changing playstyles often requires a paradigm shift, it's not enough to just say "do it." Communicating across a paradigm boundary is quite difficult to pull off, and takes special skill and effort, as well as an understanding that bridges both paradigms. So I do see how this is on-topic and a valid answer in its substance, but its execution doesn't suffice for the challenge of its message. | |

Yes, it is important to have 'fun' beyond dice rolling sometimes, but I feel like the asker's request for assistance when a legitimate concern about his character's viability is at stake is warranted. It's not as if he can just ignore that this rule exists. At the very least, this answer seems a bit derisive to the asker's plight. | |
