I mean to say "That's the last time I, as the DM, am rolling an attack roll on the Hero".Everything beyond the moment of heroic sacrifice is going to be a success, is the thrust of it. I won't undercut that moment by counting out hit points and damage or playing "Whack a Mole" with the person trying to have their time in the spotlight as a big hero. If you've got 2hp and a dream while doomed I'm not going to have some random Goblin fire an arrow that puts you back on the ground before your next turn.COMBAT is over. The scene continues. I might have a few NPCs enter into a chase for the other players to keep them affected by the drama, but the Big Hero Moment happens without further rolling of dice.</blockquote>
