I deleted it for brevity... no attempt to mislead. Sure. I would allow
it as well. I allow a lot of things that people say I shouldn't :)

Agreed. Speaking purely from a standpoint of legal... this wasn't. I,
and most other GMs, would certainly allow it because its good clean
roleplaying (ok, clean is debatable). But then when someone else
does the same thing only yells out a vital piece of info do you as a
GM put the snap-dab on 'em? Then aren't you being partial in their
eyes?

Sure. But if I can specify it that way I can do other things as
well. This topic doesn't have a whole lot of bearing on spell
casters being able to walk, chew gum and cast spells at the same
time. I agree with your pinache.

Helllll yeah. Wouldn't do it if it wasn't. I enjoy GMing just as
much as playing.... I do it more. It is awesome when you get a group
of players who work together and are in the right mood and everything
just clicks. That's what gaming is all about.
