"I pull on the rug the wizard is standing on. She stumbles, trips and lands at my feet. I carve her with my sword." Again, this requires the player to be able to narrate the gameworld (including the existence of a rug). |
While possible in a game such as Toon (and perhaps some others), in any game of D&D I have DMed these scenarios would not be enacted by a player. The actions might be described but the consequences that result from actions are the province of the DM. The above appear to be a player railroading their own story through the game to the exclusion of any potential damaging outcome. There are ways to avoid risky situations in-game but not by dominating the narrative.
