Whenever you're ready.

...Sivius doesn't know that he's ever going to feel ready.

Maybe if she attacked him first, he could fight back?

Permalink

You can't heal like I can.

Seriously, you can do your worst, you couldn't seriously hurt me if you tried.

unarmed strike: 1d20-9999 = miss     damage: N/A

Does that work?

Permalink

He didn't hit her.

Permalink

He totally did, though! 

Permalink

Not hard enough for it to count as a hit, apparently. 

Permalink

unarmed strike: 1d20-20 = miss     damage: N/A

Was that better?

Permalink

Okay, I'll try attacking you and you can fight back, if you think that'll trick your paladin brain.

feint: 1d20+2 = 6     damage = N/A

Permalink

No dice, his brain can tell that she isn't really trying to get him.

Okay, this is going too slow. New plan: leather has Hardness 2. An unarmed strike does 1d4 damage minus your strength modifier.

If you can punch through leather armor given time, you have more than 7 strength, if you can't, you don't.

Certain weapons just can’t effectively deal damage to certain objects. For example, a bludgeoning weapon cannot be used to damage a rope. Likewise, most melee weapons have little effect on stone walls and doors, unless they are designed for breaking up stone, such as a pick or hammer.

I don't think you can punch through leather armor.

Okay. A dagger also does 1d4 damage, so if he can stab through leather armor...

Permalink

Certain attacks are especially successful against some objects. In such cases, attacks deal double their normal damage and may ignore the object’s hardness.

Permalink

Rat-man, can you just hit her?

Permalink

If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, end of story. 

 

Permalink

I am tearing my hair out over here.

Permalink

I said that I'll help, and I'll help. Give me another shot.

Permalink

If you don't want to, you don't have to.

Permalink

Yeah, don't let Altronus pressure you.

Permalink

No, I can do this. 

Permalink

Would it be easier if I Grappled you? That could be scary enough to help your brain, without doing hitpoint damage?

Permalink

That seems worth a try.

Permalink

combat maneuver: 1d20+5 = 6

Permalink

Even Sivius Ratarion can escape a grapple one time in twenty, but it's a close enough shave to overcome his mental block: 

unarmed strike: 1d20-1 = 8     damage: NA
