[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5465259, member: 19675"] Sometimes the eloquence, essence and truth of the message is obscured by the personality of the messenger. To get extreme, how much attention would you pay to a stinking, seemingly insane man who is standing on the corner saying something loudly? Would you listen attentively enough to ascertain that he's doing a passionate recital of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám? There is nothing wrong with praying to Kord for help, but there's nothing wrong with option A either (nor are they mutually exclusive). It may actually encourage the player to use his PC's better attributes to solve the problem. Knowing that he is weak and the boulder is large, he should use his [B]Int[/B]. [LIST=1] [*]Perhaps he can grab a board and a smaller rock to use as a fulcrum and lever and use his body weight to move the boulder. [*]Perhaps he can lift or shift the boulder enough and cast Grease upon the body of his ally and the boulder itself will squeeze him out. [*]Perhaps he props smaller rocks under the boulder to keep it from shifting and uses a shovel to dig [I]under[/I] his pal to free him. [*]Does he have Reduce, Enlarge, Bull's Strength or Shrink Item on his spell list? Each could help. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
