I've never had an opportunity to CDG as a DM, although I do often try to have the bad guys hit downed PCs when they discover the party can get them back up ...
I read the discussion about "A Tiger? In Ahlissa" and am sufficently pre-warned about the last encounter (intentional TPK). Was there any discussion about pt3...
I don't think hitting down PCs is the same as CDGing one under the effects of Hold Person...and with a 5 foot step, you can always avoid the AoO if it's a...
The last encounter was not an intentional TPK but a misjudgment on Chris' part. Sympathy was supposed to have debuted in September but has not presumably...
... I understand that you're not saying that it is an evil act; I just wanted to gather some info an what people run/encounter as players. I entirely fail to...
You can never avoid the AoO if the PC attacking you is standing on top of his fallen friend. And in enclosed areas it can be hard to 5-foot step to a good...
Someone who has been CDGd is in a save or die situation (Fort sv DC10 +damage dealt), unless the damage dealt killed him outright. You can survive a CDG but it...
... [snip] ... Believe it or not this situation came up in a game I played Saturday. The NPCs were sent to recover a McGuffin. Round 1 PC BDF was held, mean...
... Chris' ... not ... editing. ... at GenCon ... any ... Having playtested both mods there are not any encounters with the issues that the one in Tiger had....
... gather some info an what people run/encounter as players. ... You're not engaged in a pillow fight out there... ... player running into DM's who throw the...
... Now, why do you consider hitting the downed PC a better tactic than targeting the healer himself? Granted the healer probably won't fall to a single blow,...
Paralysis (Ex): Those hit by a ghoul's bite or claw attack must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Elves have immunity to this...
I would say it is reasonable to consider it in the circumstances mentioned. However, also consider that they can easily toss an extra claw attack at the...
... I see it made a very nice story, and I also would ignore such rules as 'you can only ready a standard action' to execute the above tactic. Baris...
Because hitting the downed PC is likely to keep him down, while hitting the healer will generally result in two enemies being up the next round. There's...
... Remember when tying up an opponent it is Use Rope skill +10 so that is quite an advantage. Unfortunately to bind a character takes one full minute. Not too...
... No need to ignore rules at all. As a standard action, you can "start full-round action." So, in reality you are not readying the full-round action "coup de...
... hitting the healer will generally result in two enemies being up the next round. There's generally no AoO when the healer casts his spell, since they will...
If the individual is down because of injuries, then there's no need to ready a CDG. A normal attack is just as deadly. (Let me see, character at -1 to -9, a...
I'll admit it isn't always clear cut. At lower APLs, your position has more merit, actually. The odds of a cleric failing a concentration check is high...
I think I would only hit a downed PC if said PC did say something along the lines of 'I'm barely down, so no hurry' or something like that. Otherwise, I would...
OK, so I had an argument at the table last night. A character was unconscious (was prone), brought back (to 3 hp), and needed to get away from the bad guys. So...
from the intent of withdraw, one can only withdraw in a mode that they are normally use to traveling in. Humans beyond a certain age are not accustomed to...
... Yeah, but to get that result the healer had to waste an action on the downed guy, while you're free to whale on him. Whereas if you use an action to kill...
I would rule he could crawl 10 feet one direction, not incur an AoO the first square he left, but if he crawled into a threatened square he provoks an AoO from...
Crawling was added to the 3.5 rules specifically to deal with the problem of prone characters claiming you could use a "5-foot adjust" to crawl away from a...
Crawling, by the rules, is a move action that provokes an AoO. As per the SRD: Crawling: You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of...
I think discussing about Coup de Grace and 'what would monster do?' is illogical. Every DM will run his own game and if he feels like taking out PCs with GdC...
