[QUOTE="myradale, post: 1817321, member: 25010"] [b]I thought about the accuracy as well...[/b] And true, once you let go of the rock, it pretty much just plumets and hits whatever spot it's over. But lets GM this "realistically". You're a nasty evil frost giant. You've been fighting a group of little people and one of them picks up a rock and dissappears. Now, you MIGHT think "where has he gone?" but are you really going to notice that he reappeared 600' above your head? And are you really likely to move out of the way significantly in the 6 seconds it takes before the boulder completes it's descent? When I was a DM, I usually used to rule that you had to be somewhat aware of something happening to be allowed a reflex save against it. You can see a fireball erupting from a mages hand. You can see a dragon beginning to exhale, but in the midst of battle, are you even going to notice something coming from 600' above you? I think not. Hey...if Wile E Coyote never got a reflex save, neither should anyone else...I mean...HE'S expecting it. [/QUOTE]
