Title: Just thought I should show this.
Post by: DiegoBastet on July 07, 2007, 02:40:10 PM

This is not exactly a problem for me, so I didn't put it on the reimbursement or something like that, but this is odd and I thought I should show as some kind of bug.

Don't know what is, why happened, or whatever, but it did.

Maybe I shouldn't butt-in, but I've looked at the picture like a puzzle several times and I can't find anything wrong.. >.>'

Just thought I'd bump this in here to help out.

I think it is the fact that he had stabilized and was in the process of returning to conscienceness when he got the death screen.

That horrible monster known as lag..... sneak attacks in before you realize you've stabilized... happens...

He stabilzed, then healed two points which is at least a round each. I am thinking lag or a sneak attack is not possible. Some monsters do keep attacking once you are down to ensure you are dead, but they would give you a chance to stabilize and heal up two intervals.

Twidget.... it was a funny... but obviously not so funny...
 
 Lag monster = fictional lag beast that lurks in the deepest corners of our PC's just waiting to attack at the least oppertune time... like a sneak attack it hits hard and fast and leave you going .... huh??
 
 so in a less funny terminology
 
 Events like this happen due to lag. The stabilization does not register. Some times it because you were taking damage from multiple critters and the last guy to hit you 's damage gets accounted for while you are bleeding from the first guy to knock you down.  Some times it an area of Effect spell that has a delayed impact due to lag. Some times ???  
 
 As they say ... Lag happens :P

Oh well, I'm glad too. And, as I said, this is no real problem to me and all. Just thought this was at least funny.

But then, this was the worst lag-monster report I've ever seen.

Dammed beast. DM may I chose lag monster as Favored Enemy?
