[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6204765, member: 1"] Haven't we all? For me, the weakness in that line of reasoning is that (a) those misses which still bruised you are "hits" in my mind, not "misses"; and (b) it eliminates the elite fantasy dex character who can easily avoid the blows of all but the most skilled attackers while laughing at their foolish attempts. Sure, we can fluff-text an explanation in there (he's tiring out, his luck's running out, whatever), but it'll[I] feel[/I] like a fluff-texted explanation to me. That's why the aesthetic just doesn't jibe well with my taste. I'm not saying that all damage has to be physical; luck and exhaustion can certainly be "damage". But damage on a miss just doesn't *quite* hit that mark for me. For whatever reason, I'm more comfortable with a "hit" that does "damage" which is just exhaustion and luck than I am a "miss" which does the same. When it comes down to it, though, none of us are going to reason or logic each other into suddenly liking an aesthetic that they don't. It's all just a taste thing; there isn't necessarily logic or reason to taste. But that particular thing ain't mine. [/QUOTE]
