I grew up on /b/. I learned to laugh at anything.
I see now that sudden penectomy joke wasn't appreciated.

No. U dont get to put a shrugging pony on and "its good". I dont think you appreciate how despicable you have displayed yourself.

I hope I don't need to explain why threats of violence, especially out of character, towards people whom you have given no reason to give you the benefit of a doubt, and especially utterly bizarre threats of violence towards others, are not taken as jokes.
Like, if Brie said "rolling to cut off Gloomy's head and fuck it" or "rolling to shove a hand grenade up Posey's asshole" I seriously doubt you'd say "hey that's funny."

Okay, now is a good time to end discussion on this.
Please, we really don't need half of all posts to be you two having drama.

Okay, I've said this before and I'll say it again. I don't know what source you're using that tells you that a fucking hand grenade only does the same amount of damage as three hacks with a machete by an ordinary-strength person at point blank range, but that isn't the damage die that I, or frankly and DM using 3.5 analogous HP levels, would ever use.

No. No you werent. Shall we go back through? Or shall we pretend it didnt happen, cuz of how out of pocket it was?
Idk what your deal with me is, but fix it. Not a request

>I don't know what source you're using
I just checked the DMG, and it says a bomb does 2d6.
D20 modern SRD says 3d6 for frag grenade.
Oh wait, next page of the DMG says the frag grenade does 4d6. I think that's an appropriate amount of damage.
Rest of the damage:
[1d6 = 5]
>the same amount of damage as three hacks with a machete by an ordinary-strength person at point blank range
That would kill most people, three times over.
It's still more damage than being hit with a shotgun.
HP is an abstraction anyway.
Taking any type of damage is also a lot more lethal in d20 modern, because their system shock thresholds are lower, as I mentioned above. Taking a crit from a gun that deals ~14 damage will kill you if you fail the massive damage saving throw in d20 modern. That one mechanic changed it from a fantasy game to a gritty realism game.
You can make grenades do whatever damage you want, but should a frag grenade do that much more damage than a shotgun? Having too much damage for a weapon that costs little could be unbalancing. 4d6 is already a decent amount of damage.
Your call though.
>Dark Star misses with his rogue evasion
I think Dark Star would be best represented as a Mystic Urban Ranger/Scout multiclass, with Swift Hunter.
His most prominent trait is his racism, so ranger makes sense.
Could also be a rogue though.

At 15 damage, the frag grenade up the butt took half of Posey's health.
But let's say she takes double damage, which puts her at only 3 HP, with her newly reduced HP.

>the frag grenade does 4d6. I think that's an appropriate amount of damage.
From a distance, yes, 4d6 is pretty reasonable. From point blank? I don't think so. Point blank should be either fatal, or fairly close to it.
>Taking any type of damage is also a lot more lethal in d20 modern
Which is exactly why we shouldn't just copy paste D20 modern. The system isn't 1 for 1 the same.

Max of 4d6 is 24 damage, leaving her with 9 HP.
Posey is thoroughly assblasted. How embarrassing.
>If you survive, you're a metafuck
Posey falls on her sword and takes 9 damage
Oh no. I died out of character.
>>183074
>Which is exactly why we shouldn't just copy paste D20 modern. The system isn't 1 for 1 the same.
For everything except the one less d6 of damage of the frag grenade and the damage thresholds, it appears to be mostly the same. DMG says to refer to the d20 modern books for things concerning modern setting.
Do whatever you think is appropriate for your mileau.

Dude, I know you are mad, and what I did wasn't cool, but for the sake of other players keep it out of the RP thread.
>>183077
No, actually. She'd just barely survive.
But she would be all shredded up and embarrassed, and it would take hours for her to get her beautiful bum and soft tummy in good shape again. Quite the ordeal.
>>183078
That's not really how splash damage works in 3.5e. It's usually something like automatically failing the save (effectively double damage).

The limitation is with DnD 3.5e itself. If you want a modern-ish setting that is gritty and realistic you would need to split HP into discrete components of implied evasion/luck and actual health. That way characters won't seem too tanky without dying easily to even common mooks. You might want to add a mechanic for how easily a weapon can be aimed to provide a counterbalance to raw damage. Having PCs die in one hit to commonplace weapons doesn't mesh well with a setting with no easy resurrection and long playtimes needed to reach important character landmarks. Trying to combine both just makes the game frustrating.

The limitation is players favorably interpreting rules to their favor
HP is a scaling value. Hp damage is an RP attribute. Its all a game. Nonces.
The game isnt "how super-ultra-mgazord-badass can I stack my character"
The game is "How can I contribute to the game other players are playing?".
