[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3315802, member: 5100"] And here I've always thought that's what the Will save was all about: figuring out a way to deal with mental stuff, whether that be disassociation, willpower, or just looking away. If your players want to over-ride the mechanics in such situations, let 'em. But, if they don't establish a coping mechanism for some encounter, they're pretty much screwed because they've opted to foregore the Will save in favor of pure description. Two notes: 1) I would probably give a Will bonus to any interesting description of dealing with the trauma -- this is a game that begs for description and roleplaying, after all. I do the same thing with descriptive social roleplaying. But, if it becomes routine, or they phone it in, then it's either straight-up by the numbers or at a penalty. 2) You could always try Amber Diceless if your group really wants to go the descriptive, non-random route whole hog.
