Sometimes they are mine. But I don't see much point in talking about ones that are idiosyncratic to me and not shared by a fair number... -

Micah Sweet replied to the thread Realistic Combat that's Simple(ish).You're the one who said you don't want the player stuck without a PC for a while. Why allow the possibility? What advantage does that...
