[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5897974, member: 996"] Good point. But note that you're not asking for whether the attack is a back-hand swing or high low or anything like that. "I attack the goblin with my sword" is fine in AD&D. "I attack the goblin cutter on my left with Cleave using my Falchion" would be needed in 4e. Just to technically be able to resolve the action. No need to say whether your character is screaming a war cry or cutting vs thrusting with his sword or any such detail... Does it? Or does it just require that you know what the PC is trying to accomplish it, and what he's willing to do for the NPC to get it? "I use Diplomacy to try to convince their leader to let us pass. I'll offer gifts if that's appropriate." Would be fine, if the player isn't feeling the acting bug right at that moment. And static difficulty. Yeah, I remember the "Diplomancer." [/QUOTE]
