The warehouse was dark, poorly lit and filled with large wood and metal storage containers. Mostly empty and dark save for a small patch of light in the middle of the building, a single light strip glowing upon an open floor below. He went to the light, standing in it, eyes circling the room waiting for his aggressor. The incident was unintentional, just self defence, however certain things had clearly been misinterpret.

Waiting, he scanned the place trying to pick up on any sign of others, as he did so, a hulking figure stepped out, unarmed and built like a tank.

"Good of you to be here I guess. Maybe now we can discuss this without..."

He was interrupted as the figure charged. He ducked a nasty right hook only to miss the uppercut with the left, connecting hard with his chin. The blow flung him across the room smashing into a large wooden crate.

"How the hell did I miss that one?!" He panted, distracted somewhat as he picked himself up, dusting off, the crate behind him buckled and broken. His lightsabre had been knocked clear of his body, remaining close to where he was thrown from. Although he couldn't see it, it was dangerously close to the brute's feet. He didn't want to use it since it didn't feel right on an unarmed man but it was tempting.

"Frell...thats a nasty right hook. Look can we not just talk this one over? There are alternatives to beating seven bells out of a Devaronian aren't there?" He poised his hand out, middle, index and thumb outstretched, other fingers clenched to his palm shown towards the giant. His other hand close to his temple.

I question the claim of Godmodding and state that many of my texts are reactionary or my way of explaining the GM defined events where I felt an explanation needed strengthening. I admit a few slips and eventually I simply write the action I intend and leave it up to the GM to decide however that is because this is non real time.

I have no objections on a scenario or two.

I take multiple approaches to this. Either a person can be honest and accurate with their abilities, defining whether they successfully hit and miss based on their own skills and whether they get hit at their own discretion or making rolls to define it.

For example I opted to hit the chap with a lightsabre further back since I felt my LS skill value of 5 determines I'm pretty damn likely to score a hit unless I'm looking backwards and my target is a ninja.

I opted to take the hit earlier since I feel that there are times where the PC is not invulnerable and a time where I must be humbled and take a shot once in a while.

To sum up the schools of thought are to either allow the player to define hits and injuries at their own discretion and only intervene in certain circumstances or should they misuse that right, or leave everything up to fate.

Aye go on then.
