[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6813907, member: 4937"] Well, yes, exactly. But first not every system has improvisational stunt rules, in some systems all natural language propositions map to a standard resolution device, and I wanted to not immediately get into a discussion of how you mechanically handle a stunt which is very system specific. I also imagine that different GMs have a ton of different tricks and rules they've evolved over time and which they tend to be rather happy with however peculiar they might seem to someone not familiar with them. Mostly I was looking to get a long list of natural language combat propositions and then from that stunt list I was going to see if I could group them into some common types, and how many fell outside of any easy categorization. But I didn't want to actually say that up front, because I was afraid that if people got ahead of me, they'd start looking for examples that fell into the categories and we'd overlook cases that don't. Seeing what I might not be seeing is precisely the point of asking for people's lists. [/QUOTE]
