Playing exactly within the rules all the time gets exceedingly tiresome. Probably because all your players have to do is learn to read a set of not-particularly complicated rules to be the master of all at their disposal. If my player wanted to argue that his shield strike bashed the minion back in one fluid motion before it could strike back with it's death blow, I'd probably react favorably to it at least once, and perhaps require a roll afterwards. But hey, who needs to encourage inventive thinking?I don't play D&D to worry about MtG-style stack resolution. I play it for the roleplaying and the crazy situations my players can create.I'm sure other people will disagree, and this is by no means an attack on any specific person, but rather a view I've developed from the attitude of many forum-goers.[Edited for stupid spelling mistake. There may be more, but it's late]</blockquote>
