[QUOTE="Magius del Cotto, post: 964490, member: 6554"] Which they sometimes do literally. I'm one of those DMs that doesn't often say no (but when I say it just doesn't work that way, I mean it), but some things are just more difficult than others. For example, one of my players tried to lasso a monster that was, literally, twice as big as he was. There was nothing saying he couldn't try it, but he'd have to make an opposed strength check, which he failed miserably. Of course, this same character ended up in a bird cage being carried by two other members in the group (he was a bird Hengenyokai, FYI), and he wasn't about to go and give away his secret. Had to have an NPC step in and take care of that one (mostly because the players are often somewhat sadistic...). Of course, I'm at fault for my own creative liberties: one of my characters walked right up and off a large javelin that had pinned him to a tree. Had to make 3 or 4 fortitude saves (to actually pull myself off) and 3-4 Will saves (to stay focused through the pain). Almost impossible to do, but the payoff was great (plus it saved the character's NPC partner). Magius out. [/QUOTE]
