Oh.  Well that's just a problem of imagination then.  Many of us keep saying...repeatedly...that we find this playstyle to be very believable.  If you don't find it believable, you probably shouldn't use it.For my part, when players pretend to flail around trying to stop trolls from regenerating, even though they know perfectly well what to do, I don't find that very believable.</blockquote>
