That's, in essence, what I wanted.
Having enemies use it or start giving penalties is passive-aggressive. If you do it without saying, "I'm doing this because you're using it too much."
Or, god forbid, only allow one or two stunts a whatever. The players I've ran into, they don't want to "stunt". They aren't saying "I want to stunt". They just say "Can't I just do x?"
I'm not playing with these guys now, but I'm trying to prep for my next group, because I
want them to use stunts.
And yet another word from our sponsors
