[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6654816, member: 48965"] I'm not speaking to purposefully being silly but to some of the possibilities that struck us as more goofy then serious... case in point a halfling pushing and/or knocking giants prone, some may think this is awesome and yes I'm sure appropriate fiction could be attached to it (over and over and over again) so that it wasn't necessarily a comical action... but I'm trying to think of any fantasy movie, novel, etc. where a hobbit/halfling regularly knocks giants (or large creatures in general) around... and I can't. For us it registered on the silly side of fantasy, something that would be in Discworld as opposed to LotR or Conan... EDIT: My larger point being "awesome" or "amazing" fiction is very subjective and unless the mechanics are doing something totally opposed to the genre of play (Allowing Cthulhu to be killed with a .22)... I'm not sure how a ruleset would force a DM to create non-awesome or non-amazing fiction around them. [/QUOTE]
