I don't imagine many people on the ENWorld forums are still at the DMing level where they speak rule mechanics."The wizard runs past you in an attempt to escape, limping from a wound on his side and apparently heedless of the danger he puts himself in by trying to rush past your sword arm. "Also. If you're going to use the word "you" to describe a scene then you're talking to a specific player. My added extra makes that explicitly clear. If I was describing this then I'd be looking at the player in question and would stop and wait for her response.Why wouldn't you wait for the player's response? Why wouldn't you explain why you're waiting?If the player blinked dimly at me then I'd explicitly state, "There's a chance here to slash at the mage before he gets behind you."In the games I'm used to playing in this might provoke some debate. Why attack someone who seems to be beaten? Would you risk killing the man? Just where he is rushing off to anyway?</blockquote>
