| May 21, 2013 at 18:42 | comment | added | Soulrift | I appreciate the cinematic problems with Phasing, but my problem is much more game specific: the player says "I'm phasing, so I do this" and the rule has to be adjudicated. I suppose "the DM will just have to make something up, the rules don't provide any guidance" is a valid answer (and may be the only one) but I was hoping for some more concrete explanation of what the rules allow a phasing player to do... | |

New ghost and experienced ghost climb into the back seat of a car... the human driver starts driving off. They're going down the highway at a good 70 mph, when suddenly new ghost says, "Wait, what's keeping us in the ca-" and suddenly falls out the back of the car. Experienced ghost reaches back, catches him by the scruff of the neck, hauls him back inside, holds him over the seat. "Stop thinking about it." | |
