[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5306390, member: 40177"] MH, let me sum up my feelings on the matter: If the rules let you do something that upsets the thematic mood of the game, the onus should be on the player to not do it. And there are times where following the rules, even for a mechanical benefit, breaks the mood and reminds everyone that they're playing a game and moving minis across a board, and not fighting ghouls/dragons/frenchmen/whatever. Running in one direction so you can jump in the reverse, while true by the rules, is a good example. Carrying ten crossbows in your bag of holding and firing/dropping them at an absurd rate is another. Flipping between two cloaks when you get hurt ("this cloak is for when I'm all cut up! See? It's RED!") is another example. Again, what you do at your own table is your own perogative. But I can say, with utmost certainty, that many of the things mentioned in this thread would be met with groans by the majority of the table. I just hate that method of gaming thinking at my table.
