  Neftren don't you take a penalty of -6 for not being proficient with a short bow? Seriously, buy a javelin man
conversations: Morbius:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ah, yeah I realized that :D.   But I had bought ti when I first made the sheet, so whatever... /shrug.
  
   (1d20)[ 20 ] 
  
  Whatever my strength check should be, but I can't think properly right now so, I"ll write in the rest in a sec.  Never mind.  Unnecessary.  I rolled a Nat 20...
conversations: Neftren:
conversations: human
conversations:  A natural 20 on a skill check does not mean automatic success.
  
  
   Unlike with attack rolls and saving throws, a natural roll of 20 on the d20 is not an automatic success, and a natural roll of 1 is not an automatic failure. 
conversations: Mavian:
conversations: human
conversations:  Graah Fine  :D
  
  20 + 2 = 22
  
  What do you mean by Modified for Size?
conversations: Neftren:

conversations:  Ref Morbius  
  
  A small creature take a -4 penalty on a bullrush str check so your result was in fact 18
conversations: Morbius:

conversations:  Wait, then why did I even bother rolling...? /whatever.
conversations: Neftren:

conversations:  Like I said in the post I did it, I was pretty sure you couldn't beat it.  Unless you had counter charge or something similar readied.
  
  It's still your turn though.
conversations: Mavian:

conversations:  I don't think I can actually win this...
  
  Hmm... okay.  I guess my only option is to attack you.
  
  Swift Action: Use Distracting Ember to place a Fire Elemental next to you at O15
  Move Action: Draw my Greatsword
  Standard Action: Attack you with my Greatsword using the Shadow Blade Technique maneuver.
  
   (2d20)[ 12 ][ 11 ](23)  so 16 and 15, which both hit.  So I get to deal an extra 1d6 Cold damage.

conversations:  (1d6)[ 6 ]  Cold Damage
   (1d10+3)[ 4 ]  Weapon Damage
  
  All I gotta do is roll max damage on both and I kill you.  Not gonna happen but whatever.
