[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7769382, member: 29398"] Whatever. On failure (or repeated failures) yes, which is consistent with how it'd play out in real life: if this path is blocked, you either have to find another path or start beating down the walls. There's other costs as well, mostly to do with loss of points-of-decision for the player/PC and an associated risk of glossing over or skipping elements or options that might, if made available, be or become very relevant. Agreed, and I think a lot of this discussion (other than those who are just complaining about how the article is written without adding much else) is circling around this in kind of a pre-discussion stage: before determining what style can give what to which player we first are trying to define what each style is and where the differences between them - in general terms - lie. Exactly. It's a question of desired level of granularity in both declaration and resolution. [/QUOTE]
