[QUOTE="Dr Midnight, post: 538580, member: 69"] DM: Well, yeah, but you're maybe fifteen feet away from the bridge. PC1: Toss me. PC2: Ha! Okay... uh... I glare at Gimli. PC1: No, really... toss me. It's the only way we can get over there. We're out of SPIDER CLIMB, and we need to get over there before they cleave through all the 3rd level NPCs. PC2: Toss you, eh? Okay. What would I roll for that? DM: Uh... uh.... Roll a strength check. PC1: I'd make it a ranged attack with some minuses, myself... DM: (rolls eyes) okay, fine. Make a ranged attack at minus six... you're not proficient in firing dwarf-shaped weapons. PC2: Good enough for me. *roll*... seventeen!! PC1: Yes!! DM: Uh, okay, you fly over and smash some Uruk-hai out of the way. Since you held your action, you can attack as soon as you land. PC2: I jump over. DM: Okay, roll dem dice. PC1: Take your time, laddie! I'm up to eleven! PC2: Well, cleave will do that for you. *rolls* ....uh. Nine?! DM: (references jump skill, does some calculations) Um. Looks like you clear seven feet. PC2: What?? Can I make a reflex save to grab the bridge? PC1: Yeah! DM: No, you're still eight feet away from the bridge. PC1: You said it was MAYBE fifteen feet to the bridge from where we were. DM: Yeah, fifteen feet. PC1: So it's fifteen feet for sure now, no MAYBE? How about ten? He could reach three feet away. DM: No, it's fifteen feet. PC1: Fine, I just think you could stand to be more consistent, is all. DM: Oooh... 6d6 falling damage, Aragorn... 22 points of damage. PC2: I'm dead. That is SO unfair. I had so much stuff in my character background I didn't get to do yet! The whole king of Gondor thing... the reforging of Narsil... I was gonna do that elf chick... DM: Well, you're dead. The game goes on. Roll up some stats. Going to be that blackguard you've been itching for, I assume? PC2: Yeah. Man. That sucks. PC1: You were robbed, dude. PC2: I hate this module. [/QUOTE]
