But, in my view, that’s a result of D&D being a social game; yes, a certain degree of real social skill is necessary in D&D, just as it is in Secret Hitler or similar games. But, the requirements for an action declaration are indeed consistent across the pillars of play. In combat, you must make clear if you are attacking with intent to kill or simply incapacitate (goal) and your target and weapon or spell used (approach).</p></blockquote><p></p>
