[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 5598312, member: 23094"] Going back to the OP's original questions ... At the start of combat, everyone is flat-footed. It doesn't matter whether you're sitting, sleeping, or prone. Once you've acted, however, you are no longer flat-footed. Now, if you were treating Logrik as [I]prone[/I], then standing up would provoke an Attack of Opportunity (AoO). However, if you weren't, the getting up from sitting down without provoking is probably okay. AoOs are commonly thought to be one of the trickiest parts of D&D 3.XE and Pathfinder. So, in this case, you were probably better off skipping it for your first combat if it was a questionable area. For critical hits, you do not multiply the damage. Instead, you roll twice. So, in this case you'd roll 2d3 damage. As mentioned earlier, with thrown weapons, point blank shot would apply. If he had the feat, he'd roll 2d3+2 for damage. Also, thrown weapons tend to have really short ranges - daggers have a 10' range. So, you take no penalty at 5' or 10' away from your target, a -2 penalty at 15' or 20', etc. Logrik's normal damage with his two-handed sword is 2d6+3; his normal Str bonus is +2, and he get's 1.5x it for using a two-handed weapon. When he scores a critical hit, he rolls 4d6+6. You only add your Strength bonus to damage once for each damage roll, not once per each die of damage a weapon has. Also, a Coup de Grace is a full-round action, so Logrik would have to move next to the goblin before trying this. Also, at 0 HP you are Disabled, not Unconscious. Thus, the goblin was not a valid target for a Coup de Grace. On his next turn, he could attempt an attack, or try to move away from the party, etc. Most likely not. Moving into someone's threatened area doesn't provoke - so as long as the goblin didn't try to run around Solanada, assuming she had a weapon, there'd be no AoO. Generally, this houserule isn't a good idea to implement. [/QUOTE]
