[QUOTE="pming, post: 7231582, member: 45197"] Hiya! I replied "3. Other". ;) This is how I handle the situation the first time it comes up: [B]DM (Me)[/B]: [I]"Hmmm...ok guys. Question. Do you get all your attacks as Criticals when you attack a sleeping opponent, or do you only get the first one as a Critical and then he wakes up?" [/I] Whatever answer they give is what goes for the campaign. This is one of those situations that, to me, *sounds* like it would be option 1; first hit is a critical, regular after that due to the whole "takes damage" thing. However, it stands to reason that a person doesn't just suddenly "jump up on their feet, weapon ready all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed". When someone is waking up suddenly, they are confused and make stupid choices if they have to do it immediately. So that points me to option 2. So either way would be no skin off my teeth as a DM...ergo my choice to leave it in the hands of the players. With my group, they'd choose option 1 because they know that it's better for their PC's survival. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
