+1. Tends to be common in your threads.You seem to be TRYING to interpret and stretch all of the RAW to the furthest extent possible to favor the player in this situation...
And that's deliberate. I was given a unique official title, "The Rules Lawyer From Hell" on other forums because I often stretched the rules to the limit to better make my points or to draw people deeper into discussion.
In this case, I'm envisioning and presenting a worst case scenario: A min/max player with an extremely powerful (but focused) binder character who is trying to break the game (well, maybe that's not his intent, but that's what may well happen in his mad quest for power).
(And yes, I do have just such a character statted out, but that's more to help me keep my thoughts on the matter straight then to actually play in a game--only about 10% of anything I ever stat out actually sees play.)
Why do I always phrase my threads in this manner? Because it gets results.
Had I just been a passive "What do I do in this situation?" poster, than I would have had almost exactly one response from the each of you and then the thread would have died. However, since I made it more interesting, I got an ongoing dialog from several posters and the amount of feedback received was exponentially more than I would have received otherwise. The internet is an argumentative place where people just love debate. That's why you will see that element in a lot of my posts and threads. IT WORKS.
As a result, should a player ever come up to me in my games and try something like this, I will have a host of answers ready for him--even if he tried to press me again and again on the matter, much like I'm doing to you now.
This IS a common theme in all my threads. Absolutely.
