REVISED: (Applies to PC/NPCs/Monsters levels 1-10) [DEATHBLOW] When an attacker rolls a natural 20, they have made a Critical hit as per those rules. However, after doing so the attacker may make a follow-up d20 roll. If the results on this second d20 roll are also a natural 20 then the...

Just read another thread where someone was talking optimization and had a half-elf avenger using Dilettante to take the ranger's Twin Strike At-Will along with some other stuff to make them do crazy damage. Is playing a half-elf broken. Is Dilettante broken? Are they both broken? Just...

Was looking over the PHB 2 last night and was thinking the Avenger looks really cool. I was also thinking of playing one and had a question of my own. It's about the class feature Armor of Faith. Let's say I rolled an Avenger with a Dex of 16, took the Dex mod +3 to AC defense and added that...

@Necronomicon guy (AbdulAlhazred): A great post that really got me thinking. I mean, do I really dislike the current summons system that much? No, actually I think I agree with you all-of-a-sudden that it's pretty well done. Especially in regards the the design team being able to tune the...

Point well taken about being suprised. Personally, it helps that I generally can't remember everything I read so I still get plenty of that in the form of "oh yah, that's right!" moments.

Oh don't worry, they have mostly been good and I'm holding my own. :) Yay! I'm off the hook. Woot! :angel:

Sorry but I just had to jump back in here one more time. How in the world did you avoid saying something like "er, did you wanna uuuuuh make a Perception check or maybe um, hmmm look under the bed first...?" What discipline! :D

LMAO I actually *would* drop that gold. Well give it away or stash it maybe. It's more than I really need. I like the challenge of trying to squeeze in what you need, and the sensation of "okay, next I need to get some gold so I can get this and this". I just like not starting with everything...

I don't mind that you took a shot at me there, since I made a playful jab about how certain posters were "lock-stepping" with everything WotC throws at them. So I'll take the return fire and smile. :) But to me a troll is someone who just went to everyone else's topics, flamed them with inane...

@Fanaelialae That quote from the 1st edition PHB was really helpful. I've never read that book and I doubt I'll ever have the chance, so thanks for including that. I think it comes down to a fundamental difference in perception that I have from many others when it coms to what HP represent...

I just want to thank everyone for their comments. The last 3 posts were very very helpful! Agree about the Elites/Solos. That could pose a problem b/c they have so many hp that could be all but negated with enough luck. Then again I did post an entire thread dedicated to "wth why are those...

My ideas have received a bevy of criticisms (some helpful and some not as much) but just about no positive reinforcement. I post my ideas for fun, not for people to test themselves on how well they can pick other's ideas apart. Also, not a lot of humor to the responses so far; alot of very...

I didn't make it past this--I LOL'd so hard right there! That is the magic of roleplaying; people doing weird things! As a DM you set'em up and then I guess well sometimes people don't knock'em down. :p Curious. If you did go to "0" HP is prone and helpless not ko'd and dying, what would...

@Amaroq Okay I want to say that I really like your emphasis on storytelling. But let me clarify something, please: The one scoring the "Deathblow" is *not* frumbling their way to a victory, nor is the one taking the Deathblow. To think that is the intent is to greatly misconstrue it. A...

Actually, I agree I have found those 3 attributes here in abundance. Not alot of general friendliness and positive reinforcement, however. Those feel a bit lacking. Time will tell....

Ack! Well I didnt say no armor at all! Yikes. Anyways, Im glad someone is with me and finding value in my ideas. Cheers to you. :)

Sorry guys but I know all about that particular quote and I whole-heartedly disagree with it. That particular bit of fluff is total rubbish, imho. Some ppl might say you guys sure are good at following WotC's lead and buying w/e they sell you instead of thinking for yourselves...but I will be nice!

Gotcha. :)

Er, quoting myself...weird. Anyways, just wanted to point out that furthermore, what weapon do most rogues start with? A dagger or two. They are 1gp. Armor? Max. leather...25g. Thieve's tools? 20gp....mmmm *does some math*. Rogues can still have their cake (tools) and eat it too (the cake...

"stabbed, battered, bruised"---semantics, all the same thing just different forms..... "luckily missed"---has nothing to do with hit points (AC is hit/miss, hit points are when you are hit) "demoralized"---definately has zero to do with hit points (which track damage...demoralized would be...
