[QUOTE="Quajek, post: 6665490, member: 6776380"] He was directly asked *BY YOU* to name a situation where a single d20 roll would determine whether or not someone would take 20d6 of damage. Don't be purposely obtuse. And again, why is no one in your party EVER willing to cast Bull's Strength on the Fighter? Is it because of your constant complaining? If you never get pulled into a tactically disadvantageous position, you have a terrible DM. What if a cartload of orphans are teetering over the edge of said cliff and they're surrounded by your hated enemies? What if the precious MacGuffin is dangling over the edge, and the enemies are closing in? What if you need to get from point A to point B and don't have time to check for a cliffside ambush? Heroes don't always get to choose where and when they fight. A five-foot wide path winds along the cliff's edge... It's pretty hard to cast a spell with verbal and somatic components when a gargoyle has one hand over your mouth and the other around both arms, you low-strength warlock or wizard. Looks like you need a FIGHTER to PUSH the grappler off the caster to inflict that forced movement. So is a net. Throw a net, Fighter. You don't seem to actually enjoy playing a mundane character. You're hella jealous of the casters. And your mind seems to only work in a way that responds to challenges by thinking of all the spells for that situation instead of how your character who has to operate within the bounds of reality can still overcome the challenges. I only play mundane characters. I love showing up the casters. You just have to approach it from a position of "I can do whatever I want," instead of "the character I built from level one is optimized for DPR and not mechanically optimized to make me the best at everything, boo-boo-bee-boo."
