It's been a while since I read the RQ3 rules, but didn't that say
something along the lines of 'an experience check should only be
awarded if the GM feels the character learned by the experience'.
Which I took to mean, don't give out checks for dumb moves like swapping
weapons in mid combat. Or as I said to a player who tried it on me
in the middle of a hectic battle 'you can have your exp. check if you
reduce our INT by 1 for pulling such a dumb stunt'.
Anyway, I agree with Loren. Something like this should be included
for the befit of novice GMs.
