Hmm... I think I sit in the former? That's why I was so interested in
Nathan's risk assessment. Say my character (Kate) was piloting a Gear
(little, well, 5 metre tall, mech things). By typing west, Kate should
happily pilot that thing thru a brick wall. She shouldn't try walking
into the same wall if she was undressed though. Or should it prompt me?

Are you sure you want to walk into the wall?
Icky, icky, icky, icky (soz, lost my vocab for a second).
