Player:Yes...  Gm:In the dense fog?.player'yes.... Gm:How?   Remember the fog is really dense and that makes it hard to see like I said just a minute ago? Plsyer:I dunno what can I do?'"  the gm pretty much nuuds to problem solve for certain players who only exist to roll skill checks from hammer space on occasion. Sure the gm could just describe the player touching the bad thing they might need to touch but they you get into questions of if the gm is being fair by declaring Bob does the stupid and Bob suffers from doing the stupid. Since the gm is effectively playing the pc for that player, the player can" well I wouldn't have done *that"*or force "so you touch stuff?..." type question la they can use to metaphorically test for thin ice without going on or near the frozen pond.   That's a pretty serious benefit for performing quantum actions left for the gm to interpret and there isn't much room to reward doing otherwise.</blockquote>
