Seems pretty self-evident to me.
D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?
- Thread starter ECMO3
- Start date
Better a maybe than a guarantee.
Is it not a guarantee, there is a thing called Armor Class and an attack roll and if the guy used his reaction already then you can walk away and it is actually guaranteed that you won't get stabbed
Give me a break. FANTASY realism then.
It would still be suicidal to ignore the guy stabbing you to attack someone 30 feet away.
Not it isn't, unless you are level 3 or below a single hit from just about anything is unlikely to kill you.
It may be suicidal to ignore someone attacking you in real combat to focus on someone else, but in "Fantasy Combat" it is actually pretty safe and not suicidal at all.

This...
...and this...
...only serve to tell me that the "Fantasy Combat" system being used is in serious need of repair.

Yeah. In my game hit points are there unless you act in a suicidal manner. If you fall 100 feet and have 50 hit points, you might not even be unconscious, because luck, skill, blessing of the gods, etc.(hit points) will kick in. If you are at a 100 foot cliff and just step off, you lose any hit points about and beyond your con score. The odds are good that the 100 drop will instantly kill you as you've voluntarily given up your non-physical hit points.
I can't stand metagaming like that where the PC would be in fear for his life, but the player knows how many hit points the PC has and has the PC act stupidly because of it.

forget WoW, Diablo was right there too, and that was relatively cheap to make too
