I agree. Its one of the things that sets the game apart from the rest and means that people get to play entertainers, for example.

Nor I. In fact, if memory serves, the rule book says that the narrator assigns a modifier, -1 t0 -20, but if so inapropriate as to warrant a -20, then perhaps should not be allowed, at the narrators option.
Question, warrior attacks (10M) scholar, scholar defends with combat skill (17). When the scholar attacks he uses his bemuse with irrelevant facts(1M2)! Warrior defends with bloodthirsty 17. The scholar wins thus, the guy gives up trying to kill him. Would you allow that scenario in a game?
