But it's so obviously true!
And then you can either do a D&D "but it doesn't say that in the scenario",
or say "yes, but...."
It has to be said that it's easier to say "yes but..." these days, when you
don't have to scrap a load of RQ stats and redo them. If I had to generate a
D&D character sheet for my NPCs, I'd be sticking to pre-gen stuff, too.
