The other thing to remember is this; if the players really want to argue that heads are easier to hit, remind them that means the bad guys can hit the PC's heads more easily as well. Are they happy with trading "realism" for a higher mortality rate?

I think the best thing I've heard from a player was Dripton's 10 minute rant about why on Earth mages would spend time making cursed items instead of useful one.

Next up would be:

Me: You see a door.
Player: I try to break it open with my shoulder.
Me: You don't try to turn the knob first?
Player: No.
Me: ...you hurt your shoulder. -.-

Sounds like the famous gazebo encounter. . . .

Had to reread this three times... the first two times I also asked "Why would Earth Mages spend time making cursed items?"
