I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, and I am sorry to say I feel quite at a loss for words for all those well-articulated posts on this topic.
And so the chances that my own post might be slightly irrelevant seems to grow even bigger as i write.
But all in all, as a fair player and on some occasions DM(not a very good one if i may add), i find the core rulebook leaving nothing but questions on certain situations that happen along in a session now and then.
Therefore, as far as i can percieve, the rulebooks are merely guidelines. It's like the frame around a picture. My meaning is that the adventure is painted in the heads as the adventure takes you further through the world that is made, either by the pathfinder books or your own very imagination. so why bother sticking your nose into a series of books to look for rules to break the tension in a searing battle? to get things right? why not just pick something that seems fair to keep the heat up? Look it up afterwards if you must. I do not say you should just hang the picture up without the frame, just that sometimes the picture gets more interesting without it.
as for the topic,, hehhehe, i sidetracked... well, realism is important yes i agree, but sometimes, well, it's better to just have fun. Luck! Luck is always a factor, good and bad. As for the infamous 200ft fall, survived? Lucky bastard. Another session, broke a nose from falling down the stairs? Bad luck.
As a friend of mine said after his beloved character died from playing chaotic stupid, " S&!~ Happens, And Then You Die"...
