Why would a dm ever let that happen? That is terrible, that's the same logic that makes players say, "I bluffed him with a twenty" A good Dm would never let that happen. What did you say, how did you say it?
Completely agree here. There is a balance that should be maintained within rules. It has been repeated multiple times in this thread and in threads from L&Ls in the past.
