The look on your face...""the gnome lassoed the orc, who laughed, until the gnome handed the rope to the giant strength dwarf? The look on your face...""The hafling with levitation boots jumped off the ledge and taunted the giant in the wall of fog after the stun wore off. Yup the giant couldnt see the ground and stepped off the ledge going after that gnome he hayed so much."Etc...But to be clear, this is a preference and principle that works for me... Characters and Choices over Dice, so i dont empower dice with locked cool stuff.If i wanted to add this kind of thing, it would be as an alternate attack option, like grapple or shove and work out details along those lines. But thats me.</blockquote>
