Ties in opposed rolls

Stalker0 · Jun 23, 2004

I believe in the faq it says that normally the defender sets the dc for the attacker to meet. And as we all know, you normally just have to make a DC, not surpass it. So in those situations the agressor wins.

The Tie-Goes-To-The-One-With-The-Higher-Modifier thing applies ONLY to skill checks. It's in the Skill section, and thus only applies to such. In cases like Grapple, Disarm, and Trip, a tie always goes to the defender.

Thats where I read it.

equal rolls for me = struggle/stand-off - the current action ends and the next time a participant acts; they can either lose and act normally or as a move-action oppose rolls again

It says specifically under grapple (P. 156 phb 3.5) that ties to go to the person with the highest modifier, with a reroll in case of that being a tie.
