Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sadrik" data-source="post: 3105866" data-attributes="member: 14506">Sure:Saa the Arch Mage is strolling along and gets surprised by Abu the rogue.Abu is 10th level and sneak attacks Saa with his 14 strength and +4 short sword for 1d6 +4 (magic) +2 (str) + 5d5 sneak attack. Converting that to the system above that becomes +24. Adding 10 for the base DC that means that Saa will need to make a DR check DC 34 pretty high for a wizard... Saa has a +5 bracers of armor which gives him +5 to his DR save and his con is 16 so that gives him +3 to his a DR save, for a total of of +8. Saa rolls a 12 on his d20 for a total of 20. 20 minus 34 is 14. He narrowly escapes becoming disabled in 1 hit! He did fail his save by 14 though so he gains 1 wound for failing his save another for failing his save by 5 and another for failing his save by 10. Saa took 3 wounds total and whenever you take a wound you also take an equal amount of stun (but not vice verse). A wizard only has 4 wounds and stun so Saa had better do something quick to Abu. He also is -3 to further DR saves.Saa turns and hits Abu with a quickened scorching ray he hits the rogue with all 3 rays. Each ray does 4d6 damage +1 (from point blank shot). Converting the damage they would be 12 +1 +10 = DC 23 damage each. The rogue has to make a save 3 times at DC 23.Abu has +3 Leather armor which gives him +5 to his DR save, has a con of 14 so that gives him +2 to his a DR save, Has a ring of protection +2 and an amulet of natural armor +2 for an additional +4 from both for a total of of +11 for his DR save. Abu rolls an 20, 1, and a 10 for totals of 31, 12 and 21. The first ray (31) had no effect on Abu (plus a 20 always succeeds). The second ray (12) struck Abu solidly for 3 wounds and 3 stun (failed by >10 but <15), and the last ray (21) just damaged him 1 wound and 1 stun. So Abu was struck for 4 wounds and 4 stun out of his 5 and he takes -4 to further DR saves.Then, for Saa's standard action he blasts Abu with a 10d6 lightning bolt, doing 30 +10 base for a total damage DC of 40. Abu has improved evasion and can only fail the Reflex save on a 1. Oops he does. So the damage DC is 1/2 or the 30 damage + the 10 base. For a total damage DC of 25. Again Abu rolls his DR save and rolls a 10. He adds his +11 and his -4 DR save penalty for having 4 wounds for a total of 17. He fails by 5 but not by 10 so he takes 2 wound and 2 stun. putting his at -1 wounds because rogues have 5 wounds. So, he is unconscious and disabled.Saa decides not to blast him anymore.Abu recovers 1 stun per minute so he eventually becomes conscious when he reaches a positive score. Though he is still disabled.Abu recovers his disabled condition by resting 8 hours. Note: You must also have a positive wound total to recover from being disabled. Normally 1 wound per day, 2 with a heal 15 check.After 2 minutes Abu wakes in his disabled status only able to take move actions. But he decides to take a standard action and risk dying. So, he makes a con check DC 10 + his current wounds (-1). He rolls a 5 and fails. He is now dying. Abu can only take free actions while dying. Every round Abu must make a Dying check or die. The check is a con check DC 10 + his current wounds (-1). If he can manage to make this roll by 5 he manages to stabilize himself back to the disabled condition.Saa sees Abu struggling to hang onto life so decides to save him for questioning. He needs to make a DC 15 heal check to stabilize him back to disabled. He does.Does this give a pretty good example of what is happening? Hopefully ValhallaGH this explains the dying check and recovery.I would like some critique and ideas to improve the system.For instance What about giving the characters more wounds and stun as they go up in level.</blockquote>
