[QUOTE="Guest 7037866, post: 9394666"] I doubt such a god would exist, or if it did the God of Brutal Melee Attacks would beat the pulp out of it. ;) Anyway, it isn't god vs. god, it would be PCs vs. god. The Archery God would always hit the PCs, always... and the God of Dodging Ranged Attack would never be hit by a ranged attack from a PC... never. The point was (obvious to most but apparently not all) that when something is so far beyond PCs, you don't need to quanitfy it with a number. LIkewise, when it is so trivial, it doesn't need a number, either. Fine. You like absurdly high and low numbers, then. Depends on what direction you're looking? ;) In all seriousness, seeing the forest through the trees is sort of a real thing. Especially when you point out something with a "see that over there?" People start scanning and do miss the obvious--right in front of them. It has been a while since 3.5e, but what sort of penalties are you even talking about? I mean, if seriously this was a thing for you then I can see more and more why 5E went with (overly) bounded accuracy. [/QUOTE]
