Nope, in that case I would narrate it as a dodge but it was either incredibly taxing on the luck or body, or that it was a nick. Thats the Issue I don't have. I am not bound by only one explanation for an action.

Depends on how you want to look at it. Personally I like to imagine the Great Weapon fighter is making mini AOEs with his huge swings. but YMMV.

Can I get a quote from you then that a miss means no contact? If that is what you are saying then AC makes no sense when the heavier the armor that harder you are to hit.

Even with that said, there are plenty of single target spells with damage on a miss as well. Including for instance acid arrow. Which includes an actual attack roll and half damage on a miss.

Yes, and we can come up with absurd examples of almost every single rule. does that stop up from using them? No.

think of it like a 3rd edition EX ability: Extraordinary Abilities (Ex)Extraordinary abilities are nonmagical, though they may break the laws of physics. They are not something that just anyone can do or even learn to do without extensive training.

That's bothered me as well, not even on the wotc forums is anyone even really talking about the balance, just whether they like it or not.

Where might someone find that information?

Interesting quote. So removal of an option that myself and other like is accounting for us and you seeing it both ways?

Woah, are you saying immortality means you cannot be fatigued?

It's because of the recent revival of the argument on the WotC boards. Em can't contain his displeasure for the mechanic.

After reading the linked google document I really love the idea of looking at things and reducing their components to the lowest question. I feel that it will help my own foray into doing more improv DMing a little easier. the players want to pull off a heist, well break it down into the...

It's a simple question, but none the less to me it seems like an often neglected variable in my own games. Unless there is some kind of dramatic tension, like a battle on top of a tower in a thunderstorm, most of my games seem to be in sunny or partly cloudy land with not a dark cloud in the...

Actually I had done a bit of that in my last session. The players had split up into a few groups of two and a couple solo'd. I had asked everyone what range they wanted to sneak to before the fight began and gave them varying bonuses or penalties depending on how close they wanted to get and...

I could see that, though bennies don't factor into XP as of Deluxe.

Sorry about that, TotM is theater of the mind. I have been having a lot of audio issues with google hangouts, I had tried to use roll20 with hangouts but we ended up having to cobble together skype for audio and hangouts for video, since then we have been using skype premium for video...

thanks for the advice, I think this particular incident was that he had a vendetta against this particular enemy and didn't want to take no for an answer. But the enemy had dodged behind basically an impenetrable obstacle and the player was practically as far away from the battle as possible...

Hello all! Up until recently I have been a huge proponent of the battlemap and to some extent I still would prefer it in a heavily tactical game, but recently I started a game with several remote players. I also don't have a perfect VTT setup going on and in all honesty one of the reasons why...
