[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 7438991, member: 6702445"] I don't think Player A was aiming for that specific outcome, but I did think the choice of whacking the hound on the nose when PC-B was holding its jaws open was a strange one. At the time, I was thinking, "Why are you doing this? Why not bite its tail or try to leap on its back--attack anything but the snout?" I kind of suspect the GM was trying to set up Player A to have a cool death for his character (which did happen, as it turned out, although not on this particular maneuver). In post-game discussion it became pretty clear that they'd discussed the possibility of PC-A dying during the final showdown. It didn't; I'm not any of the participants, and none of them even know that I've posted this. It was just a situation that made me think a lot, and I was curious to hear others' perspectives/solutions. In the big final showdown, Player B felt like that was her only shot at getting a "moment of glory." She even thought up a one-liner that she didn't get to use. No, Feng Shui doesn't penalize for that kind of thing. In fact, it encourages and rewards "stunting." Yes. (It was Player B, actually.) She announced her intentions in obvious delight as soon as the GM told her that her PC was holding the hound's jaws open. [/QUOTE]
