[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3641802, member: 8439"] "The assassin's bolt barely misses you as you throw yourself off balance to dodge. Take 12 hp and make a DC 15 fort save." [I]"Huh, fort save against what?"[/I] "The bolt was poisoned." [I]"But you said it missed me!"[/I] "Well, [B]dramaticly[/B] it missed you but it was a sucessful attack roll that dealt damage, so the poison comes into play." [I]"Oh so I guess [B]dramaticly[/B] the poison, what, flew off the tip and splattered in my eye?"[/I] "Fine, the bolt grazes your arm, it is only a light scratch but you feel the wound burn.... NOW take 12 hp and make a DC 15 fort save!" [I]"You know, I'm totally OK with you just saying 'they hit' if you want...."[/I] Replace poison with stunning fist, crippling strike, various fun undead abilities.... Not to mention that there are game mechanics such as DR and concealment that very definitively represent blows that couldn't penetrate and lucky misses. Maybe I'm a little leggy, but I'd say there's a good 50% of my surface area where I could take a direct impact from a crossbow bolt without dying, to say nothing of glancing blows. ;) (Perhaps this is the direction in which Blargney's middle road leads?) But what if its a formerly raging barbarian who needs the healing? "The cleric spends his last rationed amount of spiritual guidance with a touch range on you and you feel the fatigue of battle slip away. You regain 17 hp." [i]"So I'm not Fatigued anymore? Cool!"[/i] "Huh, oh, no, you still have the Fatigue from raging, you were just healed of the fatigue and stress of near misses with arrows." [I]"You know, I'm totally OK with you just saying 'he heals you' if you want..."[/I] :p [/QUOTE]
