Asymetric Conflicts

Ben,
Kai’s got it. Asymmetric conflicts only happen when something changes the nature of an ongoing conflict or the players are doing something really dumb like chasing a dragon.

Cool, I think that clears it up. I figured the corollary to it was that the GM would be perfectly within rights to tell the players “trying to talk to the Frost Giant isn’t going to work, he’s just going to squash you if you get near him”, and that’s that.

Correct!
