This is definately a case of people trying to pull a sneaky, ill-spirited move. Personally I'd call it cheating (but that's for the lawyers to decide) - it's definately bad sportsmanship. I am certain this was NOT the intent of the designers when they wrote the word "can" [take a save]

I agree. The most important rule is to have fun, and it wouldn't be fun playing against someone who pulls ------ like that.

Also, can you imagine a lone space marine not taking an armor save in the middle of a brawl? What is he gonna do? Get naked real quick before he gets jumped?
