[QUOTE="Thyrwyn, post: 4072996, member: 12354"] Why is this a problem? I can see two failry reasonable responses: Group1 - "Attacking your allies is silly. Next." Group2 - "You want to give up your turn to damage the fighter so you can move him 1 (or 3 or 5) squares? OK." The first is fairly self explanatory and I have no problem with it. The second could be the rogue saying "that idiot fighter is out of position again. . . you know, if I stumbled into him, I bet he'd move. . ."; the hp loss (since hp represent more than health) are representative of the loss of focus the fighter suffers as he has to tear his attention away from his enemies. No "gamism" required. Just another narrative tool. Could be the in-joke of the party, too: "Throg is not the brightest candle in the menorah - no head for tactics - but he's tougher than 3-day old Bulette steaks. Sly Willy spends half his time getting Throg to stand where he should." I have no problem with this, either. [/QUOTE]
