[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7569262, member: 97077"] That's up to the player of that fighter and no one else, right? The DM can adjudicate all of this using whatever rules he or she thinks are necessary and relevant. Or apply no rules at all. That seems like something players will figure it out, if they want. The DM just needs to adjudicate and narrate after they describe what they want to do. As for Bob the Barbarian, that's up to Bob the Barbarian's player and no one else. Assuming there's no bad intent on the player's part toward other players, why does the DM get a say in what the player's character does? A player determines what the character does, how it thinks, and what it says. That's a good solution in my view. It sure beats a situation where you have to wonder whether a player whose character is a 1-hp toad is running into danger because he or she is in the toad's headspace or because that player is secretly a filthy metagamer!
