[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 1897321, member: 23094"] If you say so ... I don't really see it as "abuse" ... Yep, it's damned unfair that your ally lost his arm and sprayed blood in your eyes, momentarily distracting you. Yep, it's damned unfair that your opponent, who's spent a great deal of time and training in order to take advantage of such situations, was able to get some free whacks on you. Yep, it's damned unfair that, [b]had your ally not been there at all[/b], you'd never have gotten that particular spray of blood in your eyes, would not have had to take your concentration off your foe for just the moment required to wipe them clean, would not have been thusly distracted, and would not have recieved an axe to the head for another couple seconds. On the other hand, it's also damned unfair that you aren't a Grand Wizard, able to destroy your enemies with a thought and a gesture. I don't buy the "Fairness" argument, as you can see. Can the PCs do it? Yes. Can the NPCs do it? Yes. It is, therefore, "Fair," by any definition of the word that matters. [/QUOTE]
