NOw bob I want you..."Orc 1" Um could you hurry this up we really would like to get to our sacrafices" Jim "One minute we're trying to decide if we should flank with our barbarian or our rogue" Orc 2" Sure take your time, by the way how are the kids" It just doesn't seem logical, reaslitic nor fun as a player.  Plus it slows the game down considerably.  I think of the combat I ran last weekend where the players have all switched bodies and must deal with the abilities of their new bodies.  The encounter would have been uninteresting and boring if I let the players talk and discuss with each other what they could and couldn't do in the othe bodies.  Instead, I ran by my normal rules and it made for the most interesting combat I'd been apart of.</blockquote>
