[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 4915424, member: 79440"] [sblock=OOC:] OK, let me wax philosophical here B-). I have a few 'tenets' that I like to hold (I don't always hold them, but I've found that things go better when I do). 1. The DM is the word of clarification on any ambiguious issue. Don't argue with the DM unless he's being a total Jerk (Despite what Ken said in his thread, I don't think JNC has crossed that line yet;)). 2. Dice are there to make the game unpredictable. If you don't do what they tell you, you're not playing a game. You're writing a book. 3. The point of the game is to create a story about your character, and contribute to the story of other characters, from their beginning to their end. If you're story never ends, then it becomes an eternal cliffhanger with no point. If Mikara loses her last hitpoint, she dies doing what she would want to die doing. No biggie. Story told. Roll a new character and begin again. [SIZE=3][COLOR=red][B]Is happy[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] :). In my home-brew Avenroc campaign, she made it to level 3 and died defending Hankel against a band of gnolls who had inhabited his grandfather's keep. It was a glorious end for a skilled archer, and it made the story seem real. OK. Enough of the philosophy. [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=sandybrown][I]On with the story![/I][/COLOR][/FONT] [sblock=BTW:] According to JNC's last status post, Tristan hit the warforged for 17, and 9. Blade hit him for 33. This adds to 59. If this is true, the warforged should be dead. Check the math and see. I might be reading this wrong. [/sblock] [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
