[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4981796, member: 19675"] While Kevin Sembieda often gets razzed for certain aspects of his Palladium rules- and justifiedly so- he did do one thing that was overlooked. He actually advocated that GMs use common sense when adjudicating certain things, rather than relying on the RAW. In particular, he had noticed some people talking about their PCs doing "suicide shots" on themselves in an attempt to intimidate others- attacks that, RAW, their PCs would survive. KS, however, asserted that if the result was nonsense, you should use common sense. In the particular case, he suggested that if a PC attacked himself with something that he would not be immune to but that wouldn't drop his HP into the lethal level, the PC should still be dead. Or, to put it another way, if you're not immune to bullets, it doesn't matter how many HP you have- firing a Desert Eagle into your mouth is going to kill you. [/QUOTE]
