[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7856022, member: 6750235"] Is it not in an optional rule right under the fighter hit table in your PHB? "...the negative score may be converted to a positive and applied as additional damage to the automatic hit. Thus, for example, a 20th level fighter with 19 strength and a +5 sword attacking an AC 2 dragon would require a roll of -8 to hit it; the character would be allowed to modify his or her damage roll by +8." No offense, but that looks as dismissive as some of the comments you were arguing against. The level of debating skill isn't the point. It's the activity to increase that level of skill and a demonstration that your point 2 above is just as possible on the internet as it is in person. There are people on the internet who are open to real discussions too. A person cannot say "because these people did not" means "these other people cannot". That's an example of a biased perspective applying the traits of one group to the other without justification. [/QUOTE]
