no lyle it has nothing to do with 'lapse of reason or common sense' on
the part of the players any more than military construction has to 
do with 'lack of reason or commons sense'.  

Once actions are locked in they are locked in, so the skill has to be used
previously to stating actions.  It simply allows what would normally be
a lengthy feature of a combat round.  If you prefer you can describe in 
detail how everone in the room appears to everone else.
for example: Dirk the fighter is standing wihth his feet sholder with
apart with the left in fromt of the right by about six inches. His
back is straight and both hands grip his axe above his head.  He is
looking down and has a slight smile upon his face.  below him is
a fallen orc who is wide eyed with a patch of drool running down his lip.


BTW this skill has been approved by dan and is offically part of the game.
if you are going to just decide to throw it out  because it doesnt suit
you and you don't approve of it then you put forth an example that tells
everyone else they can do the same.  The point of having offical rules
is to have some basis of consitancy throwing out offical rules because
you happen to dislike them is unacceptable.
