Bah, probably a double post, but I didn't see Bob's post until after I posted.

IMO, if that was reason for the rule, basically for FF10, it really shouldn't even be a rule. If a player can come across a certain tactic for dealing attacks (Spells, or whatever), then hell, they should be entitled to use them. Also, player capabilities for controlling the RPG players shouldn't taken into hand, just their skills and possibilities. I don't think the limits should be there, unless there is a ridiculous circumstance that would jsut make it unviable for a character to lose ever. That should be addressed accordingly though.
