    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    I'm not sure how limited it is in practice. Someone building a gunslinger will probably shoot for an 18 Wis, giving her 4 grit points a day, with extra grit (which can be taken multiple times) she adds another 2, which is 6 points a day. She regains grit points with a critical hit or killing...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    Out of curiosity, how does this fit into things? I came across it while looking for a multiclass for my archaeologist bard. Paizo - Pathfinder - Ultimate Combat - Gunslinger - Archetype (Pistolero) Up Close and Deadly (Ex) At 1st level, when the pistolero hits a target with a one-handed...

    The chamberlain, the king, and the dragon (drobe)

    Agreed. I think Theren will confront the hag with a spear thrust. 19+13=32. The king awakes and attempts to don his armor. I'll let pemerton take the reigns for the kings specific actions and our collective response, since he knows the king better than I (from legend and history). I will...

    With the right feats and or abilities, you won't even miss on a 1 ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    There was a maneuver in TOB, I can't remember the name, where the player rolled 2 d20s to determine the effect of the ability. I find it might be appropriate for this type of ability. It might look something like, roll 2 d20 to hit. If the high number hits, but the low number misses, deal...

    The chamberlain, the king, and the dragon (drobe)

    Theren holds high the battle standard and rallies the men to him. They make a thunderous charge against the enemy, driving them back and crushing them beneath their boots. Many men are lost but the battle was won! The king gains new strength from the victory. He remembers what struggles were...

    The chamberlain, the king, and the dragon (drobe)

    Theren will rally the men for a triumphant assault! (He has no interest in what actually happened lol). Follow me! Once more into the breach good friends! Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war! Diplomacy (9+14=23 - what is the medium DC again?)

    Theren does not know failure or cowardliness. He reasserts his legacy! Men must die, but their service will never be forgotten! For the glory!

    I think we will attempt to shield the king! Endurance with Savage Effort (14+(4 or 14)=18/28, so 28)

    The chamberlain, the king, and the dragon (drobe)

    Theren will attempt to examine the king for any arcane marks, like the ones we've seen before. Perception (14+15=31) If Theren finds any arcane source to his illness, he'll attempt to help Thurgon with his healing by pointing out that the source is more than natural. Heal (15+19=34) If the...

    Theren will not hesitate. With a quick slap on Thurgon's shoulders and a long howl, he will attempt the leap to the other side. Athletics: 15+6 = 21. Reroll (Savage Effort): 15+19-34. Half way through Theren's jump, he realizes that while he had height, he wasn't getting the distance he...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    Now that's a poll I would like to see! I had actually changed evasion in my game to minimum damage to deal with that issue because it bugged me so.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    I think you'd get similar results from other D&D game mechanics, like HP, AC, Ability Scores. I don't find anything revealing about the poll. I think the best argument to remove them is that they aren't built into the fundamental core game mechanics. They are added on to it (I find the same...

    Okay. Makes sense. I'll reroll and hope to beat an 11 lol. 5. Not better. Let's hope the others can make it!

    The chamberlain, the king, and the dragon (drobe)

    I did. Question about that though. It's a daily. Does that mean I still reroll, or is using it an automatic success since it's a daily?

    The chamberlain, the king, and the dragon (drobe)

    Theren will follow Thurgon's lead. If he runs, he'll follow. Athletics (15+11 = 26), I'd need a +2 floating around if someone has one, otherwise I'll follow behind. I'll use Knack for Success on Thurgon for a +4 bonus to his roll. Slipping on the remains of the troll that dissolved before...

    Theren, hearing Thurgon's thunderous roar is inspired to action. Noticing the trolls attention focused on Thurgon, he moves in to knock the troll down, hopefully spilling the vat of acid over himself. I use Charge to Glory (encounter power, effect: knock the target prone). Str vs AC. 19+10+2= 31

    A captured troll. He was being interrogated in the lower levels and the war counsel now wants to question him directly.

    Can't ever miss, or can't ever not damage?
