Let's take a look at the ability. Ace in the Hole By 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If your attack misses a target, you can turn the miss into a hit against that target. If you can take actions and fail an ability check or a saving throw, you can treat...

Still catching up. Yes. Evidenced by my MANY threads, especially against @pemerton . I/We like to argue and I/we have very different idea/s of how the game should look and operate. Point in fact, I read everything in a thread - even the dumb stuff. I reply to only what I need to reply to (or...

This. 100% this. I would XP but I can't anymore. If people skipped this post because it was long (then they probably aren't reading any of mine to begin with but :P) they should go back and re-read it. EDIT: Between Celebrim and @urLordy I don't even need to comment anymore. Such excellent...

Surgery took a long time. I'm recovering well but not quickly (at least by my own standards). But onto the real post! I'll attempt the same. Perhaps, hopefully I've been clearer since. I see in 105 how I said without an attack roll. I meant what I have said since, especially in 112. But I'm...

Page 2 also says the following; "To hit the target, your result must be equal to or greater than the AC. If you hit, you deal damage with your attack, reducing your target’s hit points." I believe it is the next line. Funnily it doesn't define what a miss is. Presumably a miss is the opposite of...

CRAZY LONG POST AHEAD. Spoiled into pieces. The Bold attempt to counter where I say you don't need a roll to hit. The Italics are for "you don't need a roll for damage". The Underline talk of counters to snapping. Strikethrough is for some strange rebuttal against "no effort" which I don't...

How long on Saturdays do you play? I'm going to check my availability but I can likely join if there are still spots. I just need to know more details and if you are still open.

Right, except by Rodney's definition of what is happening should change ALL of these. If the attack is so brutal that it is somehow transitioning through the armor and harming the creature.. then it is at direct odds with all of these. What is happening is effectively described as a power...

See the 'immortal' example. There are many examples of creatures which should not be worn down - but through balance should probably still be hit by this ability. My route problem by the way has nothing to do with wearing down opponents. My issue has to do with doing so by not connecting a blow...

Presumably whatever caused Neo's mouth to bleed, "Your mind makes it real." But as far as the meat of that? Don't know. Doesn't seem to resemble exhaustion though. Oh, how so? How is it that you get the torn muscle damage.. equal to 3 every time the fighter swings and misses. Oh, and it also...

There are some creatures in the DnD multiverse that I have ZERO problems with being "EEEVIIL" They are typically not "races." In 3e those species are alignment "Always Evil" whereas races are typically "Usually/Sometimes Evil." It is rare to see a race that is full ("always") evil. There are...

Can Do No Wrong Have Complete Plot Immunity Never Die Generally Overshadow (fellow) PCs. Those are all problems if any PC has these traits, no? I do have a clearer idea of what the criteria is. Especially in the page of replies since. Thanks Kinak. Thanks? I'm going to take that as a good...

OT: For Pathfinder's Bestiaries - I needed 1 and 2, in order to get the full range of monsters I had before in the Monster Manual 1. I needed two and I'm happy with my investment, because they focused on different kinds of creatures. First one was more natural creatures and the second focused on...

If that is the only requirement? I've SO done it. Repeatedly. And my players seem to love it, repeatedly asking for NPCs to become DMPCs. *shrugs* I thought there was something more or else, but then again I have no idea what that "other" thing would be. So, OP: I feel well about DMPCs? I've...

I assumed you were understanding because you were using the literal meaning of what "must roll vs. AC" (haha, see Tovec you are wrong). Whereas I'm saying that the result of the roll is irrelevant. Roll, don't roll. Doesn't matter - you still do 3 damage to the villager and instantly kill him...

And the definition of a NPC vs. a DMPC is.....? Or in your case, a NPC that is a NPC is....? What qualifies as a DMPC? I don't even know what this means. I've had NPCs with the group that have been; excellent duelists, supreme magicksters, excellent rage-barbarians, little crystal globes of...

I've frequently (in I think literally EVERY game I've ever run as a DM) been asked by the players to run an NPC that journeys with the party. Happens every game, multiple times often. I can't seem to avoid it. I guess my question is what is the description of a DMPC vs an NPC that journeys with...

:Sheepishly: Honestly, I don't know what poll you are talking about. Nor was I paying attention to most of the conversation you and KM were having. I just piped in when I read something and it struck me as inaccurate, providing my two cents. If the question is something like "Do you use fluff...

I'm going to have to cut for poignancy and space. If there is something relevant that I'm excluding feel free to bring it back up, as I'm sure you will even if it is not relevant. My bad, I didn't realize that English was unfair to use in a discussion about things. I'll try in Norwegian next...

Yeah, they kind of do. If I were running 4e (I wouldn't but let's assume I did for instance) and I were using devils, you would probably see a succubus. Now, I hate that they changed that one monster from a demon to a devil. It bothers me to not end. However, it bothers me not for the simple...
