No, it's not, really; that's more to do with the "feature" of begin able to regain APs during combat, which means that certain descriptions would be better avoided, so one doesn't have to somewhat feebly "undo" them later. ("Didn't you say you had your leg chopped off?" "Errr... I got better.") It's not like the act of describing combat _at all_ has been made impossible...

That's the essense of what I'm arguing -- in both respects.
