It's math but with enough consulting of books and argumentation about rule mechanics that I swear lawyers would probably make better dnd players than mathematicians
so far all the sessions I've been to have at least one american chopper energy moment over rule disagreements and I love it
every maths professor I've had in college told me to use the simplest numbers possible in my answers because arithmetic is annoying.
Imagine if you had one of the greatest piano players in history offering to play you something, and you ask him to play the opening bars of "Heart and Soul", three times in a row.
Yes, they could do it, and do it perfectly.... But why would they want to do that when Claire De Lune or Für Elise exist. And yes, those are still fairly basic in the grand scheme of things but heart and soul is boring AF.
Noob, not even using bayesian probability to determine if certs dice rolls should be done /s
Okay, so playing D&D could be helpful to a child interested in a nursing career? Getting the arithmetic fully automatic, since they also have a lot of other details to think about.
A great DnD player is the perfect confluence of math nerd, obnoxious lawyer, and theater kid.

Can confirm. I like math, I consider myself a decent debator and I was in drama class...
