[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7214542, member: 996"] Are you concerned about the implications of what the rules omit as well as what they cover? For instance, the rules don't cover the case of being wounded by a mere weapon, let alone an improvised weapon, in a way that is permanently debilitating rather than potentially fatal. You really can't "put an eye out with that thing," for instance. (Unless that thing is a magic item of eye-removal.) Or what about the omission of less interesting things? The game presents a lot of monsters, not so many less-monstrous animals, and very few specific plant species. Does the world reflect that, or does it have plenty of ordinary plants & animals? What about the many rules that require DM involvement? You can't make a check without the DM ruling the action uncertain and setting a DC - for instance. Does the world reflect that in some hypothetical way, or is whatever the DM represents in the world /very/ busy... ;) [/QUOTE]
