After all, that's also a rule that takes context and uses it in a game mechanical sense.The fact that improvised damage is different depending on how dangerous it sounds and how often it can be done is another example of context mattering.All of page 42 is positively drenched in context. I think people rather overestimate how gamist 4e is and paint a picture that's almost a one-dimensional caricature.As a complete aside, I do apologize for saying you operated under a misconception. You just have different expectations of what a freeform stunting system should entail.</blockquote>
