It's focused very much on making combat interesting and making sure that all options you can choose are balanced to each other within a certain margin of error (and player skill).If you ask me, that is a good thing, because rules are in the game to organize the challenge part. I don't need rules for acting out my character, I just do it.However, when you read some of the Wizard's how-to-play commentary, they are somewhat anti-actor, at least when it comes to people who put their character concept over everything, hog the spotlight and start to act anti-social. But I see that more as encouraging sane behaviour at the gaming table, rather than discouraging in-character acting.All in all, I wouldn't say that they promote a fallacy, rather a certain area on the challenge/acting chart that I proposed, which is high on the challenge but moderate on the acting.</blockquote>
