Aberration Apocalypse (d&d 5e Campaign) 6/6 Players

1. A "hit" is when you roll equal to or over the target's Armor Class (AC) on your attack roll (1d20+eventual modifiers (mods)). An "automatic hit" means that you do not have to roll the d20. You automatically get to make your "Damage Roll (?d?+eventual modifiers). I don't think so. Initiative is to determine who reacts first and gets to make the first *attack*
2. I do not know, as I said:

K

 

1. I know how attack rolls work. I was mainly asking if I could make this thing automatically fail against Water Whip.
2. It's better that people know beforehand. A punishment you had no way to expect or even know about just for rolling badly is not very fun.

 

1. If you update the page, you will see I edited my response.
2. I'm still figuring out what it could be. Feel free to come with suggestions. Maybe the opposite of a nat 20?

 

1. Okay, but I'm still not sure why your initiative definition is relevant.
2. I think it should just be that the attack automatically misses, and nothing else.

 

That would be the opposite of a natural 20; Nat 20: Automatic hit, Nat 1: Automatic miss

 

No, because you get extra damage on a critical hit.

 

Oh well, I was referring to my special benefits.

 

14+1=15
And no that doesn't make any sense. Please don't do that.

 

What special benefits?

 

The automatic hit...
Also, you do not get extra damage when you roll a natural 20 on initiative.

________________________________

Why doesn't it make sense? Otherwise it's just like "Oh hey, I got a nat 20! I get to attack first, yay, nothing else!"

 

Yes that's the entire point of initiative. It's not necessarily supposed to be a good or bad thing. Just the order you fight in. Getting a free hit because you're the first person who attacks shouldn't happen.
When you ambush someone and attack then by surprise so they can't do anything you don't even get a free hit. You get advantage. So why would you being the first in combat order make you hit someone?

 

Well Idk, I think it feels rather pointless to not get anything special, but fine, I'll have it the PC way

@BlueSlimerino what did you roll on your hit die?

 

We did take a long rest now didn't we?

 

You got a short rest, then the Globster appeared, it ran away, about very early morning, you slept until now, which is late morning, is that 8 hours of sleep?

 

Guess not. I rolled a 5 total

 

Initiative shouldn't be that important. It's just a system so it brings some order into the battle. It's not like you go much earlier if you have the highest initiative. Every combat round is about 6 seconds, everyone takes their actions in that time. The person with the highest initiative so the person who responded the quickest just starts their action first. They should not get a reward for this.

 

Automatically hitting on a natural 20 attack roll is normal. I thought we were talking about attack rolls in general. I think the only punishment on a natural 1 for initiative should be going last. That's bad enough in itself.

 

Did you edit your HP or should I?

Sure, sure

Okay

 

I should be on 17 I know that, I forgot if I edited it

 

You did.
