[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6083988, member: 19675"] Every HP matters. Every last one. My aforementioned buddy killed a dragon with a Ray of Frost- it was the last possible attack that could hit it as it fled. Its next bit of movement would have put it out of range of anyone else in the party. Going back to my very first game of D&D back in 1977, it was a wizard and my fighter who were the only ones left. After his last spell was used- Magic Missile- he started using his quarterstaff. Damn good thing, too- [I]his[/I] dice were hot while mine went stone cold. He whittled away on it with his toothpick while my 2hd sword snicker-snacked on air. Then it et him, leaving me to fight it alone. With both of us at 4HP, we got simultaneous initiative. He hit, I didn't. (I was hooked.) Yeah, I lost the fight, but that mage's stick-thwacking out victory within reach. Also, this: [/QUOTE]
