(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

[FitzTheRuke]

Yes! I think "chewable painkillers" or "fast acting salves" could be pretty narcotic.

At any rate, Kahless described it as Harb throwing a bandage around him from behind. Presumably he timed it well, and gave the Dwarf a quick bear-hug with a bandage and tied it off behind him. Could work I suppose.

(Although I think most distractions of the kind would get a guy killed most of the time.)

Still, people can do amazing things when they have good timing. Harb has good timing.

Lol, all possible, I suppose. But mainly my first rule of a fantasy world comes into play, I think. "Never try to force reality onto fantasy."

It's like an anime. May make no sense to us, but to the characters, it's reasonable.

Rodrigo can heal himself through sheer willpower so... yeah

I agree, for the most part. I'm not looking for "reality", but I am trying for something that can at least be imagined. That's why I like to spitball ideas. The more ideas, the more ways things can happen. I just don't like leaving it at "Character X 'heals' character Y with his med-kit" without at least a little thought being thrown to what that looks like.

You may have noticed that I like to be a bit descriptive!

I don't care if it's "real", but I it's always good to start there and work your way out to "awesome"!

That part has to do with the bit of HP that corresponds to Morale and dealing with Shock. He's just got the grit to ignore actual wounds, which of course, only correspond to part of the "general attrition" that HP represent.

Part of the game I like is that people can come up with LOTS of ways that the mechanics can be explained. I'm happy with nearly any explanation that sounds cool/fun. The only thing I don't like is NO explanation.

 

[gargoyleking]

Perhaps I'm being a bit lazy in my description then? I'll work on improving that.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I think you do fine!

 

[Ancalagon]

That fight was way closer than I expected. Rodrigo rolled pretty well, but I am not sure what we did wrong as a whole... too spread out?

I think I made one mistake (didn't realize how badly Delrak and Chrysagon were doing). But was the rest just bad rolls?

Here is what happened to Chrys:

The Pterafolks rolled 23 22 19 18, even with disadvantage. And Chrys crit failed his death save. Kelemvor is clearly abandoning him.

I run a game with a paladin as the main tank of the group. Paladins can be good tanks (and at higher level, their saving throw protection aura is super good), but for more mundane clubs and arrows kinda threats, all they have is their AC. The barbarian has damage resistance, the battlemaster has maneuvers and the eldritch knight has "burst AC", but the paladin is quite vulnerable to a series of good rolls...

Apart from getting better armor, casting shield of faith (and honestly, bless may be better as a use of your concentration), I'm not sure what else you can do :/
