[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7513636, member: 23751"] Damage, whether static or rolled, is not applied until after the portion of combat where the attack hits. If someone uses a blowgun in my game and they don't state within a few seconds of being hit that they are going to use the shield spell, I'm going to apply the damage and it will be too late. If by excellent point, you mean not a good point, you would be correct. A house rule allowing simultaneous rolling doesn't do diddly for a discussion on how the game works. I've never had a problem with house rules changing things. If you want to engage the simultaneous rolling house rule, then it's up to you to make ruling dealing with any issues that come up, such as how shield works. It's not, but knowing how much damage will be caused is. As I pointed out above, the head shot could do 1 point of damage, and the thigh shot 16 damage. You can still take the full 1-16 damage at either location. [/QUOTE]
