[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4380237, member: 40961"] I can see where a problem could occur, but I find that DM judgment and player judgment cover this pretty well. Remember, it doesn't have to mean "knocked out" as in a hard blow to the skull that leaves one unconscious. It could mean "knocked out of the fight but not dead," which can occur in lots of ways. Easiest: Hammer: "You smack the hobgoblin upside the head, and he drops like a stone." Medium: Sword: "You stab the hobgoblin in the shoulder, and as he looks down in agony, you club him upside the head with the hilt. He drops like a stone." Hard: Fireball: "The blast of flame hits the hobgoblin in the dead center of his chest, and the blast flings him backwards to the floor." Hardest: Crossbow: "Your crossbow bolt catches the hobgoblin in the shoulder. It spins in a circle from the impact, and collapses to the floor moaning." Its all in how you describe things. And if you can't come up with a description, just rule that it doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
