[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5580666, member: 67338"] my fav moment was when the avenger rolled a 1 and a 2, then rerolled and got a 2 and a 3... and missed, then the warden on the nexr intiative rolled a nat 20 and crit and the avenger slamed his dice and went on to a rant for like 5 mins about how it was not fair he had a +x to hit and should do X damage and how can a non optimized loser do more damage... in my normal groups missing with encounters hurts alot... dailys normaly have effects or miss stuff so that isn't as big...but especialy level 1 or 2 when you only have 1 wncounter that miss hurts... by level 7 when you have 3 (4 with themes) it isn't as bad... and slayers and the like that never miss encounters are a big boon too... I do think hitting is important but not the only thing that matters,,, let me use my online game table game as an example...we started at level 3, and at level 4 we realized we had no one trained in perception, and no rit casters... so 2 players (out of 4) had there feat picked for them... and since we had some problems with orcs and no one spoke giant... the barbarian took linguastics... could they all have been beter if they picked up expertise...yes, but getting giant (and dwarven) added to the party, and adding +5 to the already 2nd bst perception, and getting a rit caster mattered more... we have a barbarian, a warlock, a warlord, and a warden...it was a major step up right before the game ended (we did make it to 5th but not 6th) [/QUOTE]
