Or if not, there should be reasons built into the strucvture of your world
why its not a good idea.
I basicly agree. As long as someone is not directly and seriously
impacting the intended purpsoe of the environment they should be free to be
as creatviue as they want in how they react to and deal with it.
If they find a hole in your logic and exploit it then plug the hole.

Well these are the kidsn of things Im encouragign players in oru design to
do. They cant be iron miners, or even weaponsmiths (yet, it may change when
we add AD&D proficiencies) btu they CAN make money escorting caravans or
even organizing their own. These caravans of course though get attacked,
which is why peoepl liek them are needed...
