[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 209833, member: 1008"] Ah, deary, deary me. Anything directly relevant that I would say has already been said, save one very important thing, which I have said on numerous occasions before (and which I am pretty sure is a paraphrased version of one of hong's laws): [b]Trying to precisely define the nature of hp is a task bound not only for failure, but the beginning of an unstoppable vortex that will suck you inexorably into the depths of the purest and most horrible insanity.[/b] As to the question no-one seems to have noticed: [i][/i] Attack rolls represent the ability to overcome all an opponent's defences, not simply hit him. For an armoured character with a positive dex modifier, an attack roll ranging from 10 to (9 + armour bonus) can be considered to have hit, but not with sufficient skill to find a weak spot or simply bash through. Happy arguing all.:p [/QUOTE]
