[QUOTE="Corlon, post: 412906, member: 6905"] ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAA That would be extremely annoying and/or confusing in combat Example: Round 1: The Red dragon says "you will die, all of you" and smashes Ivellious the fighter with his tail, Ivellious flies across the room and hits the wall with a loud SMACK, then he slumps to the ground... dead:( Corlon the rouge (:D ) runs around the dragon making a successsion of tumble, climb, and jump checks to get in the perfect spot for flanking the dragon. Gandin the Palidin Charges in on his warhorse and tries to impale the dragon on his lance he rolls a... 20! and rolls again... 20! enough to hit, but unfortunately he doesn't confirm the instant kill :( . But even without the instant kill he deals.. 94 damage!! Then Jozan (I couldn't think of a good cleric name, :rolleyes: ), who was just recently getting a soda (or building a pretzel castle, or petting the dog, or otherwise not paying attention) says "wait, who what now, oh, Ivellious is dead, I don't think we want that I want to use my DPI to replay the two rounds of combat." Then, either the Palidin and Rouge (out of game) leap on the cleric and pumel him to death oorrr everyone gets confused about where their characters where and complain that they're rolls were too good, but because this is a free action, the characters have no chance of stopping it:o. Yes yes, I realize this could be handeled many other ways, but I hope you get the point:p (plus I just had to type something) As a whole I think this is a pretty good idea, seeing as how you probably don't like the fact that there aren't that many undead in my campaign, well just wait. OOPS :eek: Mabye every year (for short games where everyhting takes about 30 minutes to complete an entire dungeon) or more, such as 10 or 20 for longer campaigns, your DPI would recharge. Or mabye do it like force points, you get em if you do selfless, heroic acts. How about give everyone them, and their patron deity would give them this (but they can't say when they want to use these points, just when the DM judges is the right time, such as a lost loved one coming back to life) If the character didn't have a deity then "fate intervenes" ;) And just like Star Wars RPG, the clerics would be able to get a BUNCH, while everyone else is stuck with 3 or whatever the number is.
