[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6409141, member: 1465"] Once again, this is [I]your[/I] adjudication. I can say the opposite, that since the rules don't say so then you [I]shouldn't[/I] be able to. Just to say, the rules also don't say you need legs in order to jump, so if your legs are bound or cut off, you should be able to jump at no penalty? The rules don't say you specifically need eyes to see, just technically you need not be blinded, and since AFAIK the blinded condition doesn't mention plucking someone's eyes out, then doing so doesn't make you "blinded" and you can see at no penalties? The rules don't say you need your head to be alive, so if a trap chops your head off but doesn't specify how many HP damage, then technically you're at full HP and keep going? If you don't want to bother about keeping track of how many hands are busy/free, it's ok, but that's not a universal or "correct" answer to this problem. Anyway it should be clear to everyone by now that there are people who care about the RAW first, others who care about gamist dynamics, and others who care about some narrative sense, and they'll never agree with each other about HOW to do it, if they don't agree about WHAT is the purpose to achieve.
