Very true. The wording should have been much clearer.

Logical.

I concur.

I would have no problem with all of the free actions except perhaps grabbing something while being tossed about, a non-roll perception check that just yields basic information I would be fine with, Initiative become more or less moot as all you can do is evade. In application, I would probably allow the crew of a ship to attempt some of these and possibly other skills but the evasive roll would be added to their difficulty (or made into a Dex difficulty for things with no skill). Of course, on a complication on the wild die the character would run the risk of being thrown into something sharp, pointy, sparkly, electrical, or hot and thus injured. The moral is - don't try to cook live Aqualeshian Lobster while dodging Tie-Fighter blasts. |
I think you have a good perspective on it.

And when Whill, garhkal and CRMcNeill agree on something without arguing it first, there's probably something to it.
Incidentally, and in retrospect, this topic is probably a better fit for the Official Rules section, as it never really strayed into an actual House Rule.

Or at least be prepared for a truly epic Mishap if you do.
