[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 4552855, member: 19265"] Good article. Why are players of a RPG game threatened by something like this. The advice is to ignore/change/alter/make up on the fly rules that benefit the game. We do this all the time, and I have a lot of players wanting to do things all the time - so should I just not allow them? One thing I find a lot is players wanting to get through some small dweebs in the road to get to bad guy at back. Last time it was goblins. OK, so we have a hulking 6ft 6in warforged who wants to go through the goblins...how do the rules handle this unique situation? I believe it is a bullrush, which the warforged is likely to do (but what a comedy to picture if he fails). He pushes 1 goblin 1 square and that is it? He can;t even do that if there are other goblins behind him. Common sense tells me a warforged has a better chance than that to get through, but I understand not wanting to include rules for every such instance in the RAW. (I would be kee to hear how RAW only supporters would have handled this). We certainly have a ball with such moves all the time. Roll the dice and see what happens. I could tell you how we handled it, but there really is no need. Point being there are MANY actions that would occur in a movie/book that are not in RAW and I wouldn't want a book with too many rules. (Not to flame - I loved playing 3.5, but I do believe that is where the game went wrong - it was actually harder to DM). [/QUOTE]
