You have the innate ability to make a judgement call of this nature, as a human being and not a computer.Well, we're all just shootin' off opinions here. And it is obvious. You fly Dex mod squares. Ignore everything in the rules about fly speeds, falling, and whatnot. Just going from first principles, when you stop flying, you tend to fall.Similarly, if you have played 4E for any length of time, you know that action costs are a part of what makes the game what it is. So your analogy fails to hit the mark.This sounds like you want to switch off your capacity for judgement as a human DM: to go back to the 3E paradigm of "taking the DM out of the equation". By doing so, you lose the big advantage of p&p over videogaming, namely that everything is moddable. You also go back to a ruleset that looks more like a law textbook than anything related to a recreational pastime.</blockquote>
