One of the pellets grazes along the cheek bone, or takes off a small piece of the ear.Again, that's reasonable, but it is not how I've ever played, and thus, requires me to change my approach to the game, which is something I'm not interested in. I don't feel the general need to change my approach to the game if I can choose not to change my approach to the game by not using the rules that require changing my playstyle.Here's a question: Let's use Flynn's turn as Captain Blood for an example. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uog-mJYyloQ"].[/ame]. What level fighter would you think he is? And, in his fight with Basil Rathbone (which he wins), how many "hits" would you think are taken by either character and how much "damage" is delivered? It's totally subjective, but from my own point of view, they are both rogues (d6 HP in 3E), I would call them level 3, with about 15 hit points. I'd call Flynn hit three times each for about 4 damage* (he stumbles at about :21 after missing an attack and hits the rocks behind Rathbone, he is knocked down at 1:30, and then at 1:36 he's pushed back to the rocks rather hard), and Rathbone hit four times, each for about 4 damage, with the last hit being a crit (Flynn's attack misses at :20 but he's knocked into the rocks, he falls down at 1:00, he's hit at 1:37 when Flynn's counter-attack swipes across, and he's skewered at 1:50). The entire rest of that 2 minute long fight is miss after miss. *Figure a rapier's damage as 1d6 + 1 (neither are particularly strong men, but not weaklings) and attack bonuses of +3.I would have to imagine that you view this fight as a higher level with more hits and a higher HP count.</blockquote>
