[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8218895, member: 6855259"] This is my point, the rules as they are allow you to do almost anything you want in combat. If the player wants to do something and he does not know how just ask the DM - Player: " I want Tulip (halfing) to jump inside the dragons mouth and pour the potion of poison down his throat." DM: Ok you are right next to his head, I will let you do that as one move plus action, but you need to make a 15DC athletics check to land the jump inside his mouth, then a 10DC SOH to open and pour the potion, a 12DC acrobatics to jump out of his mouth again and not crash when you land, and he gets an opportunity attack on you when you leave his mouth" Player: Tulip is a Rogue, she is going to disengage as a Bonus action. DM: Ok I will allow it, go for it. This is one over the top example but it is easily doable under the current rules set. The DM could have ruled a lot of ways here, he could have made it more than 1 action, he could have disallowed disengage (because of the circumstances) he could have made any part of that string of events easier or harder depending on his judgement, he could have thought of something else I didn't. The point is the current rules are not limiting at all, they are wide open. [/QUOTE]
