[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7303615, member: 6919838"] gotcha and all i wonder is what is it in an RPG play experience of guideline that [B]you do not feel[/B] is "matter of playstyle, group preferences, settings"? "I don't see any issue with players coming up with "signature moves" or their characters." i would have a serious problem with a "signature move" for PCs that was defined as "only your characters do it" unless there were also such things for other NPCs that the players would not be allowed to do as well under similar circumstances. it would break the "sense of belief" in a rather substantial way the first time i told them "yeah, even though you have the same stuff, its the NPC signature move so, off-limits to you.". of course Gm could rule some GOD decreed others were not allowed to do it... or other such thing... and that no others gods did that... and that he didn't ever do it for anyone else... etc etc etc lots of ways to make it "fit" depending on your definition of "fit". Just doesn't "fit" the type of game, playstyle and settings i run... where players don't expect to be shut out of tactics or have others shut out of their tactics and see good tactics as their own reward, whether "signature" or not.
