or your players
I was playing D&D (for the first time) and my party were a group of exterminators killing giant spiders on city rooftops. The first thing I did when we got up there was tie myself off to a chimney. Later, we were fighting a really big spider that was right at the edge of the roof:
Me: “I hurl myself at the spider.”
DM: “You mean you try to hit the spider, or try to grapple the spider…?”
Me: “IDK, I just throw all my body weight at it.”
The spider ended up splatted dead on the ground (traumatizing some unfortunate passerby), I ended up dangling off the side of the building, and one of my party members had to make a saving throw to dodge the rope as it swung through his square, LOL!
