[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8030219, member: 6801845"] Except there was a way with a soft underhanded throw to stop the kid to be certain no permanent damage was done. It's called "ask the DM." The DM and the player determine what is possible. If he had said it was not possible, I would have asked for other options. Could I slide the hammer on the floor, was there something soft I could throw or any other number of options including letting the kid go. If you had been the DM you could have ruled differently. You were not so you did not. Besides, I fully admit he leaned LN on certain things. As far as my PC was concerned, a crime was being committed, he stopped the crime without using excessive force. My PC didn't buy into "necessity justifies crime" although the punishment should be commensurate with the crime. Note: this was an AD&D game so improvising actions was pretty common. [/QUOTE]
