That's awesome! I love when tabletop becomes part of a family's legacy.

You did good anon

Good on you getting the younger generation into it.

>>52901064
Sorry to be a bummer, but I don't think even a natural 20 would've hit, realistically speaking, and a DM should not encourage this sort of stuff. Giving everyone 5% chance to break reality at will does not make for a good story: everyone will always hit those odds sooner or later.

Ultimately it's just going to make the whole thing feel less special and more lolrandom.

>>52901486
It depends how far away the person is. If you can throw a barrel or a chair at someone and hurt them then I think a greatsword or battle axe would be the same.

>>52901486
>REEE wrong fun

I only have creepy stories and that make me question the mental health of my family and friends

>>52901486
This isn't exactly reality breaking my dude. All we're talking here is throwing a sword roughly 30-60 ft at a rough estimate. Sure it's not likely or smart, but i imagine a super jacked and angry warrior could manage it even at a low chance. Besides, it's a fantastic game. If you're not willing to bend the rules a bit for fun then you're just going to sit there shutting your players down.

>>52901509
A barrel or a chair are blunt objects and just making them connect with the target will be enough. But with a sword or an axe you also need to make them connect the right way, which is far less plausible.

>>52901541
A GREATsword, man. That's not just "bending the rules a bit", that's breaking all laws of reality.

Look, just think of the deed that was done and consider whether a 19 would've accomplished the exact same feat. If a 19 wouldn't cut it, then a 20 probably shouldn't either, and therefore it's all a bunch of bullshit.

Yeah ok guy

>>52901673
A pretty damn massive piece of aerodynamically shaped metal, in the exact right way, apparently on first level and in his first outing. In the darkness with no infravision.

Again, could you have done it on a 19?

>>52901631
No one ever said it was. It was just a story about brothers doing the same stupid thing years apart.

Does it deserve its own thread? Questionable.
Does it need someone pointing out the simplicity of the situation? No, not really

I can see someone hurling a one-handed sword like a tomahawk or throwing a bastard sword like a javelin, but a big two-handed is really stretching it.

But if you're built like Conan and you roll a 20, then fuck it, why not? Just let the player do the cool thing.

You don't have to be bitter and angry all the time. Have any interesting stories from a recent game? I'd like to hear them.

>>52901486
It's perfectly reasonable to think you could throw a two handed axe
I'm not a trained fighter and I can throw a two handed lumber axe 20feet into a target.

>>52902407

>>52901486
Sorry to be a bummer, but if anything his GM was TOO strict. Throwing a weapon not meant to be thrown should just be a -4 penalty. Depending on the range and his stats, he potentially could have hit on a lower number.

>>52901486
Normally I'd agree with you but honestly a nat20 SHOULD always hit. It shouldn't always be a critical hit like the new faggot 5e rules say, but it should be a hit. Unless D&D introduces exploding dice, but that would be disappointing. Just like crit confirmations were, but honestly I didn't mind those, the only people who get actually discouraged about those shouldn't be playing D&D anyway.

My personal rule: a nat20 hits on any attack unless it's truly impossible to hit them (i.e. total cover or out of ranged weapons effective range) and gives the opportunity for the damage dice to explode. This way it doesn't deal extra damage by default, but has the potential to deal infinite damage. Better than Savage Worlds and its always-active exploding dice, fuck those.

Do you really think there is no possible way someone could throw a sword and hit a far away object? Difficult, yeah, but bending the laws of physichs?

Sword throwing is an actual technique shown in old swordfightning books (it was seen as an amateur thing to do in a duel tho), and it was tested to be pretty accurate. And this is for regular people, don't forget we are talking here about characters that fight monsters on a daily basis and survive to tell the tale.

>>52901564
>just think of the deed that was done and consider whether a 19 would've accomplished the exact same feat. If a 19 wouldn't cut it, then a 20 probably shouldn't either
And if an 18 isn't good enough, then a 19 is ridiculous.
And if a 17 wouldn't make it, then an 18 is unrealistic.
And if a 16 can't measure up, then a 17 is probably too much to ask.
...
Look, what I'm trying to say is, if you can't succeed at the task AUTOMATICALLY, then it should just be a failure and you don't need to bother rolling dice.

Good job OP

You guys do know that the rule in D&D is if you roll a natural 20 on an attack roll or saving throw it automatically succeeds and a natural 1 automatically fails right?
It's when people think that applies to skill checks or anything else that it's wrong

>>52903037
This.

>>52901486
>>52901564
Man, do you realize how close 30ft is?

A big dude could definitely hit a guy with a large weapon from that distance. Remember that your average barbarian is not you, it's someone with more physical prowess than the best olympians.

>>52901486
https://youtu.be/wTC_1HRgbuo?t=151

>>52903037
Not that strange
-4 for non thrown weapon, -2 for every distance increment (taking into account is not a thrown weapon it should be like -2 for every 10ft), assuming the dude moved twice to escape (withdraw action) that's 60ft

So that's -4-2x6, a total of -18. Yeah, "you only hit on a nat20" seems pretty beliveable for that scenario.

Also we're ignoring that weapons, any weapon, has a max distance, and that non thrown weapons have a ridiculously short max distance, I don't think you can throw a battle axe at 60ft even if your Str is 5 billion (yeah I know is stupid but that's d20 rules for you).

D&D is not a simulation of real life physics
My current character moves at Mach 1 and is easy to hit him while runing than to hit a standing still object.

You know, in OD&D, throwing a sword doesn't even incur a to-hit penalty, it just halves the damage on a hit, and the range increments are 10'/20'/30'.

So you hurl a greataxe or a greatsword at someone 30' away, you're just rolling a missile attack at −1 for the range, and you'll cause 1d4 or 1d5 damage on a hit.

you got that part right, but seem to have forgotten the subject of those opinions. Let me remind you.
>>opinions about (his) own life and about a person (he's) known for years

I'll break it down for you, if you're struggling, poor little robot.

Can you not see why those opinions, ones you just espoused in case you've forgotten, would not be welcome, or considered particularly valuable? The answer to why he doesn't have to dismiss your point is right there in the question.

Its because you're just telling him your opinion, not making a point.

And he does not like your opinion, because it is a negative value judgement you direct towards his loved ones. Your opinion is that it is bad he loves his loved ones. Your opinion is that he should not love his loved ones. As a man, and really just as a person, one imagines he is disposed to protect his loved ones against attack and degradation. Thus his response.

If any part of this is unclear to you, don't be afraid to ask questions. It's not your fault that the basics of emotional response seem to elude you.

>>52917189

Yes actually i do understand basic emotions cunt. I understand he wont listen but I'm going to say it anyway.
>protect those he loves from degradation.
yes exactly that instinct should be given to a a proper woman. and no I'm sorry (no, not really actually) some bitch already saddled with a kid is not "proper" just like men being overweight, salty neckbeards doesn't make them "proper" men. There is a reason fat shaming and slut shaming exist and there is a reason why our grandparents shunned women who knocked knocked up outside of wedlock and she lost all her marriage 'worth' BECAUSE BEHAVIORS ARE INDICATIONS OF CHARACTER

>>52910228
Its more a case of "only because you are correct doesn't mean you are right"

True, money storages in big cities may have such security measures

But thats so fucking lame and I got so angry with his smug attitude of "your idea of a robbery is absurd because I know this..." that I immediately called it bullshit and made a GM retconning/fiat on the spot saying that "it doesn't work like that in world of darkness, don't treat it like the real world."

of course he's talking out his ass, its a categorical statement about what is most pleasing in bed. He could be enacting primae noctis several times a night and he'd still be talking out his ass, it would just be easier to point out his primae noctis fetish.

I'm a fag. There is little to no joy to be had with a woman who'll share her first time on the marital bed with you, unless her husband is also there and the more amorous of the two.

That statement has about the same truth value, maybe more if you're accounting for net happiness.

>>52901860
why? It's not like a longsword is much heavier than an arming sword.

The one you posted is about 1.5kg.

For comparison, a rapier would be 1.2-1.3kg

>>52918612
Instinct isn't given, moron. An instinctual reaction is in almost all cases automatic, that's pretty much the definition.

In this case it worked out something like "You slander the woman and child he loves, you aren't his friend." It doesn't matter to him that you don't think they deserve his love or protection. That's the problem actually. Claiming that his loved ones are unworthy and subhuman does nothing to infringe on his love for them, it only makes him hate you. Obviously you believe your own arguments that his girlfriend is unworthy of him, that's why you say what you do, but he doesn't, and finds her worth not for lack of your arguments but in spite of them.

His confident and satisfied love for these people is the starting point of this argument, and your claim tries to usurp that Anon's agency in his own relationships. You're telling him horrible things that he can verify to his own satisfaction not to be true, so you fail to convince him. GF having anon is reacting like a man does when you insult his family, non-GF anon, it doesn't matter that the person insulting his family doesn't think he should, because you're the one insulting his family.

You know you aren't his friend, his confidant, or even an acquaintance. What reason does he have to give credence to what you say?

>>52901509
The range increment of a thrown weapon is like 30feet, with a -4 for not being designed for throwing. Which means that at 30ft the attack would require a hit at -4, and at 60ft the attack would require a hit at a -6, for 90ft it would be -8, and so on.

Moreover, a natural 20 is always a hit with attacks, even if the critical hit isn't confirmed. That's how attacks work. Similarly, saving throws always succeed at a 20 or fail at a 1.

Though nothing else- skill checks or the like- have effects on natural 20s or natural 1s. In fact, attacks don't even auto-fail on natural 1s. The 'fumble rule' is a variant rule that most people aren't aware isn't a core rule.

>>52901486
nat 20 always hits, the question is if they were in range or not

an improvised thrown weapon has a range increment of 10ft, with a maximum of 50ft

>>52901564
>A barrel or a chair are blunt objects and just making them connect with the target will be enough. But with a sword or an axe you also need to make them connect the right way, which is far less plausible.
That's fair, but that still doesn't mean it can't be done. Making the sword a 50/50 chance ot hit depending on whether it happens hit with the blade or the hilt is only a coin toss, and reduces the chance from 5% to 2.5%, which is still far, far from impossible. An axe would have an ever greater chance.

The way I see it, running in to battle pretty much naked with an axe that takes two hands to carry is already throwing reality out of the window.

Do you quit games when people encounter undead/dragons/any other fantasy monster?

Gotta love all these rulefags here. It's not like playing RPGs are fun because of the stories the players and GM create throughout the play. They're fun because of all the complicated math to make sure every action fits into the rules established by the books by the letter.

Most rulebooks even state that the GM should take the rules as guidelines and improvise or bend the rules if and when appropriate. I've played D&D with two GMs, both were quite in the rules, one went along with a lot of our bullshittery and created fun situations from where we fucked up, the other punished us hard every time we took a wrong step. Had a lot of fun with the first GM, was kind of pissed when I lost my second character during the third session with the other.
I started GMing myself, and from the feedback i've got so far, a rule-guided, but not full anal and story focused is the best way to go. At least with a party of non-aspergers that go "well ackhually..." at everything. If it sounds fun, let the players go with it, don't be a fucking mongoloid and ruin everyone's fun because mmuhh rules.

Los Tiburon story, on top of being grammatically incorrect, is also rules wise incorrect too

See, when OP introduced him as "girlfriend and 7 year old kid," pretty heavily implied that OP doesn't internalize the child as his own. If he'd introduced the kid as his stepson or something like that I'd dig that he's genuinely comfortable with his place in the relationship. OP also never refers to him by his name in the story, and only ever referenced to him as "kid," or "boy."

With this sort of stand-offish language, OP is unconsciously distancing himself from an emotional attachment with the kid, because he doesn't want him in the relationship. If he has to take care of a kid, he wants it to be his own.

At the end of OP's greentext, he talks about how "his greatest inspiration in life is to be a DM like me," is pretty indicative that he's unsure of where he stands as a parental figure to the child, and is trying to be the child's friend. Unfortunately, OP is lazy, and is trying to force the child to accept his adult hobbies so he doesn't have to learn about LEGO Dimensions or Little Big Planet 3.

A natural 20 would hit. This isn't 5% to break reality, a thrown axe or sword is an improvised ranged weapon. Any attack hits on a natural 20. The damage would be lowered to improvised, but a DM deciding to go with the original damage dice because of their previous stipulation is a pretty far cry from "5% to break reality".

Not only are you No Fun Allowed, you're wrong in the rules too.
