[QUOTE="Katerek, post: 483900, member: 5193"] An accident is an accident. It doesnt matter if it is a hunting arrow or cruise missile. NO ONE can stop accidents from happening, that is why they are called accidents. Now, if he is continually recreating the conditions where the said accident is happening, then maybe he is to blame. But if that is the case, and I saw nothing in his post that indicated that was the case, then he shouldnt have posted here in the first place. Regardless of which, in all the games we have been playing in all of the years, how many of you have seen this type of situation ever turn out GOOD? Subterfuge like this is horrible for party cohesiveness. Rather than being backstabbing boobs they should have just directly said, "Hey, DUDE, stop!" If he didnt, then there are clearly bigger issues here than at first appear. I think the Arrows missing and hitting other party members is a stupid rule anyway. Unless of course the same is true for ALL weapons. I am curious to see if that DM also has a critical Hit and Miss table for every weapon. In side to side melee combat, the cobatants would be just as likely to hack off each others arms as they would be to be hit with an arrow. And, if THAT is the case, then why should anyone get upset about an arrow shot? IT is the rules they chose to play by, they should quit being babies about it. How come when the arrow misses its target, it only has a chance of hitting a fellow PC? Why not another monster entirely? Why not just flat out missing? See, ultimately these are the things that should be considered. Teh DM should be brought into question. As a DM myself, this was the argument I was once faced with. I saw the error of my ways and did away with the stupid "arrow miss and hit my friend" rule. I have been happier without it ever since. BTW Sorry if sounded offensive, I mean no offense to anyone. I just think it is a dumb rule in the first place. [/QUOTE]
