[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5694895, member: 80297"] So at my school I am part of this thing called the Academy, it's a college prep 'school within a school' and we get lots of field trips. Today we took a trip to a local USMC reserve base, after the long contests of strength and agility were over, we ate, and then had a large tug of war game over a deep mud pit. The chaos ensued and me and a group of classmates tried to grab my teacher and pull him into the mud pit, for giggles, good fun right? This teacher is really strong, works out often and is 6'7", he looks like a german gorilla, he grabbed me, put me over his shoulder and while the other classmates pushed him to the pit, he decided he would throw me in. So attempted grapple failed, target counter grappled me and then threw me, his target was the mud pit. It was six feet from where I landed. and this was no weak throw, he THREW me to the ground, in the mud and the rocks, and I had no shirt on, I actually bounced and rolled the other 6 feet into the pit, all the marines howled, all the girls gasped, all the guys laughed and in the end, all the teachers were worried sick. I climbed out totally fine, or so I thought, turns out my entire lower back to half-cheek zone on my butt is covered in scratches, so how does this apply to gaming? I rolled a 1 on my grapple check, he rolled a 1 on his throw, I rolled high enough to roll with the damage and I did not feel the pain until after I climbed out, so the question, how many action points were used to the amount of action points that should have been used?
