[QUOTE="TheAlkaizer, post: 8350038, member: 7024893"] Different groups play differently. I don't actively discourage these requests that are based on rules more than roleplay. It's the same difference as between: a) A player asking if he can jump on the ogre's shoulder, to then jump on a ledge and b) A player asking if he can roll acrobatics to increase his jump height. Option A fits and tends to create the type of games that I'm interested in participating in, the second one doesn't. So, I would shut down anything like "Can I get advantage because I've opened the blinds and he has the light in his face?" but would be happy to have players ask "As I opened the blinds, could it be possible that the light coming in blinds some of the enemies?". The end result might be the same. But they both foster a very different mindset and approach. So, that stuff [I]will[/I] happen, just try and encourage players to do it in a way that fits the game environment that you're trying to create. [/QUOTE]
