I was wondering what you guys are doing. Any reason not to roll for damage?Ive tried in the name of playtesting only using the static damage, and it has worked a treat so far. Its a bit of a problem when it comes to the fighters Parry though. Think I will probably start rolling damage for named NPCs but mooks will stay stathttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29613395/Do_you_roll_damage_or_use_the_numbers_in_the_Bestiary?post_id=528487001#528487001Ive tried in the name of playtesting only using the static damage, and it has worked a treat so far.

I use it to keep some of my people on thier toes. One guy in particular will try to memorize the numbers and it changes into a math equation for the partyhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29613395/Do_you_roll_damage_or_use_the_numbers_in_the_Bestiary?post_id=528308997#528308997I switch it up.

Problem is with 1d20.

In the sense that you could not even get hit by that kobold minion if they missed you. (reference to ShadeRaven Comment).
