Forcing a player to commit to something that risky without a general estimation of difficulty is wrong. At least a "chances are high that you will fall, still want to leap?" is in order. Not to mention the can of worms opened up if it does succeed and extra damage is scored. Enter endless hit location requests, specific wound effects, etc. The entire abstraction of HP breaks down with all that thrown in. Chess is a competitive strategy game. Due to competition and the lack of a referee, choices must be restricted in order for the game to be playable. Thankfully, someone else here knows that genre emulation isn't roleplaying. I would XP you but I'm not allowed to right now.</blockquote>
