what happens when you run out of dice
dindenver:
Dyreno,
I think the point that your player was trying to make is that: once the opposition runs out of dice, he gets to narrate the conclusion of the fight. If he started the fight by saying, "I kill him dead" and he runs out of dice, isn't he dead?
Conversely, if he starts the fight saying "My righteousness is born of the King of Life", then isn't the opposing character obliged to recognize that statement.
I guess the point is, if he won the conflict, he gets a bigger say about the outcome than you, right? I mean if he lost the conflict, you would be telling him what his char is doing, right?
The narration that "he runs for cover" seems to negate the fact that he won the conflict. Essentially, you neutralized his threat instead of acknowledging that the opposition is powerless to resist him anymore, right?
Yeah, there is no fallout from "Giving" that character is most likely dead if they were in a gun battle. Or whatever fate that the Player wishes to bestow on them. Fallout is for winners, lol
I mean there has to be context, two characters can't get into an argument and the winner can 't declare the other character dead. But if it was a raging gun battle and you give, you may be dead, no?

Well, whatever's at stake, it resolves in the winner's favor, but the winner doesn't get to just freely narrate anything. The winner doesn't have any more say than the loser does. Especially, the loser doesn't get killed for giving, unless his life was specifically at stake - named to be so, up front. If it wasn't, there's nothing the winner can do to kill the loser. Giving is always the safest move.
