@RedXIII Sounds about like you understand. The only thing I am going to clarify that it is not about the skill of the writer, because there are some people who have great ideas and logical actions, but maybe their writing is just average.... while others may be amazing writers but their logic in some actions are subpar.... I am looking at the actions the character took, not the writer's ability.
1. I want a writer to stay true to their character. If they write that their character is a coward in their CS or they show that in their writing, I do not want them to suddenly become the most brave person out there just to escape a consequence.
2. Just like in our world, you can't just walk up to say a famous actor and stab them. Most actors have guards, security systems, and likely have taken personal self defense trainings. I expect that if someone is going to say... poison another character, they will need to show us in narration how they get the poison, how they plot and plan.... then how they carry out that plot, put their plan into action, and finally the deed itself... and then their own escape. And there is a lot that can go wrong and a lot of NPCs that can stop them along the way. On top of that, there are always people around... a scullery maid, a passing guard, the stable boy, etc.... to avoid that kind of NPC attention, they are really going to have to go all out to show how they logically avoided all of that.
