Clerics & Sneak attacks

I think that's his point,

Yep. Sure it has a to hit roll, but it doesn't do damage. If I use harm on a commoner with say 5 hit points, I drain all but 1d4 hit points. If I use it against that epic level barbarian with 500 hit points, I drain all but 1d4. I don't roll dice to see how much damage I do, I roll to see how much they have left. If it was a spell that delt damage, then I'd be rolling to see how much damage I do.

I think that's his point, small, blue, and hyper. If harm inflicts damage, it should inflict double damage on a confirmed critical hit. Which would be ...

a) reduce the opponent to 1d2 hit points. ( )
b) reduce the opponents hit points by twice his current hit points, minus 2d4. ( )
c) um, I dunno ...

ROTFLMAO!

This is the best argument yet. LOL

I don't think that sneak attacks or crits should be allowed with harm, but just for the sake of answering this post:

a) reduce the opponent to 1d2 hit points. ( )
b) reduce the opponents hit points by twice his current hit points, minus 2d4. ( )
c) um, I dunno ...

...I'd go with the last one:
d) Reduce the opponent to the lesser of two d4s.

I just love the way that an Empowered Harm is less effective than a Vanilla Harm.

And, today's final D&D trivia question: Name the high-level combat spell which is completely useless against an opponent with 1 hit point. You have 30 seconds ...
