[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4891321, member: 386"] I should stop replying to it. :) As a point of comparison, a couple times in my game the PCs have thrown curtains over NPCs to Blind them. Once I even let the rogue get a stab in and deal sneak attack damage. (Probably wouldn't do that again, but that's life.) I also do crazy things like letting PCs use move actions to pull out darts from traps that have immobilized them instead of making a save. (Str check yeah, but still.) And then there was the time a PC jammed an immovable rod into a lich's mouth to keep him from maintaining his spells. There have been a number of TPKs in my game, so I don't think it's too easy. I understand that the way I run my game isn't what everyone wants out of D&D. That's cool. I guess I just have my back up. I personally think 4E can handle a lot of this kind of thing; but who knows, maybe I'm wrong. For example, I've only been looking at this from the perspective of what I've actually played - ie. the Heroic tier. When I took a look at what disarms could do to the uber-baddies, I realized at once that I was wrong. Anyways, I consider this thread to be a debate over the flexibility of 4E's ruleset. [/QUOTE]
