[QUOTE="Elvinis75, post: 1270211, member: 4379"] I guess that it is terrible that I'm always on the other side as hypersmurf. The way I see it is that there is no AC that would negate a successful natural 20. How can you just choice to ignore the part in ()!?! The word essentially means don't look at the next verbage? No. Using the dictionary: 1 : of, relating to, or constituting essence : INHERENT 2 : of the utmost importance : BASIC, INDISPENSABLE, NECESSARY <essential foods> <an essential requirement for admission to college> 3 : IDIOPATHIC <essential disease> <essential hypertension> - es·sen·tial·ly /-'sench-lE, -'sen-ch&-/ adverb - es·sen·tial·ness /-'sen-ch&l-n&s/ noun synonyms ESSENTIAL, FUNDAMENTAL, VITAL, CARDINAL mean so important as to be indispensable. ESSENTIAL implies belonging to the very nature of a thing and therefore being incapable of removal without destroying the thing itself or its character <conflict is essential in drama>. FUNDAMENTAL applies to something that is a foundation without which an entire system or complex whole would collapse <fundamental principles of algebra>. VITAL suggests something that is necessary to a thing's continued existence or operation <cut off from vital supplies>. CARDINAL suggests something on which an outcome turns or depends <a cardinal rule in buying a home>. I think that word does nothing but support the following sentence. There is no AC that cannot be hit by the 20 thus there is no way the attack can be negated. The way that I rule it then would be considered a house rule. I say that the rider must also roll a natural 20 and have a higher total roll than the attacker. [/QUOTE]
