Message: <blockquote data-quote="takyris" data-source="post: 3170809" data-attributes="member: 5171">Do you mean that there's a BAB requirement? (I don't see one.) Or do you mean that the opposed roll lets the target add his or her BAB? Actually, the way it went was me waking up and asking to borrow a dagger from someone, saying, in character, "Unless someone remembered to get my warhammer and my bow..." At this point, the DM called for retroactive spot checks, then determined that I'd lost both. I kept my mouth shut until I could say something in character.No idea. I'm assuming the latter, since magic is incredibly rare in this world. When we the party asked how to make our arrows flame, we were informed that it was a tactic we could use in ambushes, when we had ample time to prepare, but that we couldn't have all our arrows soaked in oil all the time.Evidently the bad guys chasing us were preparing for an ambush.No magic of that sort in this world. "Driven off" would be fine, except that he fought to the death.  Firing from a distance was difficult because of the house-ruled changes to range penalties (noted above). And since we now have the scimitar, we know that it was, in fact, a +3 scimitar with a seasonal (three-month duration) fire rune to make it flaming.He also used a luck roll to reroll the bad guy's opposed strength check, then tossed in one of his poker chips when even the rerolled result wouldn't have succeeded and declared that because of his house-ruled combat maneuevers, it now succeeded.Also, he was calling it Bull Rush at the time.I'll try overrunning somebody in the next fight, and we'll see if the same rule revision holds true for PCs.If high winds, swaying planks, and crashing waves had been mentioned, I'd have brought them up.The flavor text was the amount of damage that I was hit for and the fact that I was knocked unconscious. That's it. No Awesome Blow, no knockback rule, no nothing. Just, "Hey, since he's already unconscious, it'd be cool if this knocked him into the water."</blockquote>
