[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6072492, member: 93930"] One campaign I ran, the PCs were working for a large top-secret (but kind of crazy, Paranoia-like) organization. Before each adventure, they'd have to go through a Danger Room type of training exercise run by the organization's mad scientist division. So one time, the aforementioned mad scientists decide they want to test the ranger's Handle Animal skill. So they set up a room with an entrance, and exit, and a rabid mutant wolf hybrid on a chain in the middle, and shove the player through the entrance door. Player: So can the wolf thing attack me where I am? Me: No, the chain doesn't go that far. The way it's set up, the wolf can reach both walls, but the chain stops it about ten or fifteen feet short of where you are now. Player: Is the chain really solid? Me: Yeah. The wolf thing is pulling against the chain now, trying to get at you, and it's not going anywhere. Player: Okay, I walk up to about two feet beyond where the chain ends and kill it with my greataxe.
