[QUOTE="Ciaran, post: 4091834, member: 756"] Sure, you can knock those one-legged fat men down as quick as you like. That's because it's not an encounter. Your example is of the same order as demanding a Climb check for every step when ascending a flight of stairs. If there's no challenge involved, don't bother rolling. And as others have stated, the same logic can be applied to stabbing an opponent through the heart and killing them. To rephrase your own complaint: "I think it's easy to grok that stabbing an opponent through the heart is a challenging move. The PC's are heroes, though, and they should be able to do challenging moves. It's harder to grok that you can only do it once your opponent runs out of hit points. You're surrounded by one-legged fat men with inner ear problems, but, nope, you can only stab one through the heart once he runs out of hit points, and then you can stab another through the heart."
