[QUOTE="CrimsonWineGlass, post: 2920627, member: 39863"] I allow some of this, depending on the character. I had a player for a level 12 game, he bought 2 stat boosting items that got his dex up to 22 and one that got his str up to 18, combined with the 3 points from levels 4, 8 and 12. He was playing a monk and he kicked over a table and then jumped over it (full ranks in jump by the way) and made a single attack against the enemy on the other side. I allowed him to do that, he is quick, strong and skilled enough to do that. Half an hour later another player tried the same thing, but this one was in full plate armor with a large-sized greatsword and had a dex of 11. It just depends on the character and how much they are doing. Mr. "But They Should Know Because....": This character thinks that everybody can understand why he is doing what he is doing due to tiny, insignificant details that the level 2 commoner should have picked up on. Last session I did I had a character like this. A series of murders in public buildings had been occuring, the party happened to be in a tavern when an attack was made. They party defeated the attackers but they made a lot of noise and the guard came into the tavern, though they were unable to actually save the commoners in the tavern. The guard came onto 4 well armed, obviously trained combatants covered in blood with blood-soaked weapons and surounded by dead commoners. When the guard drew his weapon and told the party to drop their weapons, this player got mad and got into a screaming contest. When the guard called in for backup and the party was taken to jail this player said that obviously the party had been using different weapons from the ones that made the cuts on the commoners so the guard should have known that they hadn't done it.
