Ha.<br /><br />In all seriousness, I keep ratcheting it up as my PC survival rates after reaching zero hp since starting using them is something like 90 percent. So ratcheting them down--without throwing it out all together-- seems entirely fair. Stunned to me--and the other ones that give a positive like an adrenalin surge--seem way too proportionally soft.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-35829479622045999132012-02-02T20:25:27.108-06:002012-02-02T20:25:27.108-06:00?Where'd the edit go?
Left out of the post: ...?Where'd the edit go?<br /><br />Left out of the post: these other results seem fun. The drama without them is only about HOW the combat will end for you, not IF.<br /><br />Also, it seems unlikely that you'd roll a second time on the table as you'd be unconscious (and more likely to be coup-de-graced) rather than fighting on and being hit again.redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600098550347299095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-24678936523808699322012-02-02T20:21:03.407-06:002012-02-02T20:21:03.407-06:00Hmmmm...

The possibility of fighting on - though your wound may/may not still kill you.<br /><br />2. Armor being sacrificed to void hits to some specific body parts (somewhat there in result 10+).<br /><br />3. Stuns... not quite unconscious, but a rung bell.<br /><br />Am I a wuss DM for missing those results? I did kill a character (save or die spider poison) and nearly a second (shadow draining strength) last week.<br /><br />Still, our group is playing with death at -10, so I suppose I AM a wuss DM :)redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600098550347299095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-44341657039975282542012-02-02T14:32:49.007-06:002012-02-02T14:32:49.007-06:00I forgot to add that a "Grisly Death" re...I forgot to add that a "Grisly Death" result will typically force a morale check for NPC hirelings.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-69313798946120780702012-02-02T14:23:00.321-06:002012-02-02T14:23:00.321-06:00I think I may use this.
