[QUOTE="bulatzi, post: 5813315, member: 6688999"] It may very well be a house rule, but it is the way it should be. I really don't get this DM vs. PC mentality. It makes it stressful for the DM, and it makes players into rules lawyering douche bags. A player shouldn't have to find loop holes to ensure entitlement to something against the DM. And in my opinion, a DM is bad if he doesn't work with the players. It shouldn't be DM vs. PCs either. Also, I didn't mean it would take several rounds. It would just be something that you could see right off, when the damage was relevant. Surely if you engaged something, it would be moving around enough to determine what it was right off. And its description wouldn't be subtle either. It may as well be the DM telling you what it is. Not that I'm against the rules... but there are a few gray areas that deserve ruling in favor towards better characters. Not just a dude who has the magical ability to hurt zombies a little better for no reason. But yeah, I don't mean to be driving my view on things into the ground like this. I just think it is the way to do things, and I wanted to spread it. But it does take a certain kind of DM to pull it off. [/QUOTE]
