[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 4068416, member: 18549"] Because this round, the guy in the armour didn't raise his arm in such a way as to expose the weak point, or else the rogue wasn't standing in the right spot to take advantage, or the rogue was dodging a blow and couldn't get his dagger up in time to make the attack, etc. You get to do it once a combat, or less. The in-game reason why is divorced from the out-of-game reason, freeing you to define the in-game reason in whatever manner you like. edit: I also think that this will almost never come up in most people's games. It will only be an issue at a table that enjoys describing in precise detail exactly what happened when someone rolled a d20. Most of the time all that's required for people to ignore the in-game/out-of-game disconnect is that it is [i]possible[/i] for an in-game explanation to make sense. Barring wacky corner cases, it is always possible to explain why you can't do another Crimson Blade. [/QUOTE]
