[QUOTE="Andor, post: 4558301, member: 1879"] When the system actively interferes with immersion then yes, it does not seem to be as geared towards deep roleplaying as ones that do not [i]actively interfere[/i] with immersion. GM: The Goblin strikes at you. Take 9 damage. PC: That bloodies me. Ok. Thaglec stumbles back clutching his wounded arm then he.. GM: No, I don't want to call that a wound in case it gets healed by an inspiring word. PC: What? GM: If it gets healed by the cleric, then it was a wound. If it get healed by the warlord, or resting it was just shaken morale. PC: But Thaglec is a foppish swashbuckler, when do I get to make quips about ruining my wardrobe while running people through? GM: Just wait till after the battle then retcon in your dialouge. PC: ... Or better yet please explain to me how a PC would describe from a first person perspective what it feels like to get healed by a healing strike from a cleric of Pelor.
