[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9598224, member: 22779"] Heh. You've not participated in many Damage on a Miss discussions I take it. :D To be fair though, it's largely died down in the past few years, mostly because D&D and WotC has basically punted on the issue. Because they don't actually take any side in the discussion, and don't try to explain anything, everyone basically just retreats into their own corners and stop complaining about it. Which, going back to the train of discussion that started all this, is why reification doesn't work. No matter what WotC tries to say, there will be this very, very vocal push back and it's a no win situation. So, WotC just says that, for example, hobgoblins deal 2d10 (or whatever the number is) with a sword and don't try to explain it. There's just no winning for them if they try. [/QUOTE]
