| Mar 14, 2018 at 22:33 | comment | added | Jake Haller-Roby | @Rubiksmoose If someone asks "What color is an wonderwoman's invisible jet?", saying "invisible objects don't have color" is indeed a valid answer, despite not naming a color. | |
| Mar 14, 2018 at 22:30 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | @gravityplanx Though I very much disagree with just about everything you just said, I think adding that explanation to your answer would improve it considerably. You can't just not answer the question and not explain why. | |
| Mar 14, 2018 at 22:15 | comment | added | Jake Haller-Roby | @Rubiksmoose: Yes, but the question itself is a flawed one. It's only up for debate because of the interpretation that there is some aspect of willingness required on part of the character, which thus caused confusion about who is the authority on that character's thoughts/beliefs. In truth, though, the spell doesn't care about your character's ideals, beliefs, or attitudes, and as such, the player has no domain over the interpretation of what is or is not "reasonable". The simple answer is "The DM", but the reason is "because the question is flawed". | |
| Mar 14, 2018 at 2:06 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | This does not seem to answer the core of what the question is asking: who gets to decide what is reasonable. The question is not about how to determine what reasonable is. | |
