[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 8604345, member: 6685730"] [IMG alt="Star Trek Reaction GIF"]https://media0.giphy.com/media/XsUtdIeJ0MWMo/200.gif[/IMG] Yes, I consider it "binding" when a PC says "I want to do this." The PC doesn't get much accomplished otherwise. I won't make a PC wait around for other actions if that PC announces an action when she's free to do so. If someone else is acting or has priority, then "I draw my rapier and stab the baron" gets met with "hang on, so-and-so is acting first." Declaring an action [I]is[/I] acting first. How can you break the peace if you haven't done anything? Let's go back: the DM announces combat. Not the PC. If a PC says, "I break the peace," then the DM says, "got it. [I]Here's[/I] what happens. Now roll initiative." There's some weird WotC group-think going on in this thread. Let's focus on this a bit and clear our heads: [IMG alt="Bruce Lee Meditation GIF"]https://media4.giphy.com/media/9WHE2bo5Na9Gg/200.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
