[QUOTE="GuardianLurker, post: 2233317, member: 786"] [b]Ic[/b] As the dispassionate voice finishes echoing over the Club's loudspeakers, the dim presence looks up startled. It turns around and hurries over to the anouncement board where the host is posting another formal anouncement. You can't quite make out what the two are discussing, but it seems to be about the wording of the announcement in some manner. Given the group he's associated with, you guess it's about "sacrificing" sentient beings. == OOC The IC portion is mostly tongue in cheek, here. However, it did point out something else. To wit - LG has only LOST 3 times, not 8. By definition, a tie/draw is neither a win nor a loss. And that raised another question that's been floating in the back of my mind, something that's not mentioned in the rules, and since I'm not a watcher of any kind of sport, something I'm not sure of. How is advancement determined? Win Ratio (Win/Total)? Win/Loss? CR Ratio (CR Won/CR total)? Some other arcane formula? On a different note entirely... Suppose Monster A uses some tactic that inflicts damage on itself to defeat Monster B. Further suppose that both monsters end up in the negatives after A's tactic. A vs B HP....A take vs Deal.... Winner A > B........... T > D........ .................. T = D........ .................. T < D........ A = B........... T > D........ .................. T = D........ .................. T < D........ A < B........... T > D........ .................. T = D........ .................. T < D........ In particular, the reason this popped into my mind was that I briefly considered the "Death from Above" tactic actually be the homunculus [b]falling[/b] onto the beetle from the ceiling. If it had hit, the beetle would take Nd6+Wd6 damage vice the 'munc's Nd6. For simplicity's sake, let say the 'munc weighs between 6-10 pounds (about the weight of a housecat). Falling from 120', the 'munc would take 12d6, and deal 14d6 to the beetle. Or at least, that's the formula I remember. The 3.5 SRD doesn't really address the issue, and I suppose it could reasonably be argued that the 'munc takes 12d6 and the beetle 2d6. Or that they both take 2d6 or both take 12d6. [/QUOTE]
