However, a Game Designer DOES need to ask that question, because if you don't, you can end up writing rules where a player can never fail.
For ex. In D&D you can combine Polymorph (common 4th level spell) + a Bag Of Devouring and win basically every encounter. Turn bad guy into weak slow creature. Drop creature into bag. "Any creature that starts its turn inside the bag is devoured, its body destroyed."
