I mean more along the lines of, say there's a Garlean airship up above, and it's firing things down below on a group of adventurers or some such. Unless they were constantly moving, it'd be pretty hard to get out of it without a few bumps and scrapes.
And, I mean, I know it's a separation of game and story. I'm not saying there shouldn't be. I was just thinking about that whole mechanic in a different light--a light in which our characters might see things in that kind of situation, and how it'd affect events or their battles.
