You get no argument from me about that.
Yes, this is poorly written rules because they are not logical.
It makes no sense and I've said that twice already.
But this is not about enforcing a faulty rule.
This is not about discussing how it should be handled or what the idea was when those rules were written.
This is a question about a rule that has clearly been answered. Period.
For how long has CRP been around now? Six years? And no one ever saw this, everyone always made their injury roll, right?
Let's say, we both play in the same tournament and suddenly, with a wide grin on my face, I point you to a rule that clearly says, you lose the game immediately if you don't wear green socks.
Just because noone ever saw this little bugger of a rule in some small paragraph doesn't mean it's not there and as long as I wear green socks, I win!
Fair? Nice? Logical?
No to all three but still... I win!
Logic says that injuries are not intentional, they do happen or armor and lucky circumstances prevent them.
That is why we do roll dice to see if armor breaks and how bad the hit was.
To me, logic would say, the injury roll is mandatory as well, just because you can't really get your opponent down in a completely controled way, otherwise there would be no injuries in todays sports like American Football or Rugby. But there are injuries, not only in contact sports but also sports that should have no physical aspect to them.
But like I said, it's not up to us to decide what should or should not have been written.
We're here and we have to use what we've got: CRP rules.
Yes, a league commisioner might handle this for each league indiviually but this already would delve into house ruling for me.
