I had a GM once who made us calculate how much water we could take into the desert. We had to figure out the square footage of the available containers--making sure they were waterproof, of course--and then the volume produced by the Create Water spell. Then we had to calculate how much those containers would weigh to determine if our horses could carry them.
It was a huge pain in the ass.
I don't need that level of realism in my fantasy universe.
Okay, yeah, that sounds annoying. I much prefer some of the quirky nods to realism my GM included.
For instance, when my character decided to hook up with another character, he made us roll d-100 for an "O" check. I rolled 85, he rolled 86, so not only were we both pretty good, we were damn near simultaneous.
I actually love the fact that all of the guys in DA fic seem to be particularly blessed by the Maker.

Me too. *happy sigh*
