Garren:(Yeah, I have a feeling I'll miss alright.) Garren hexes the human thug to his right with his Warlock's Curse, and begins to cast another spell on the Mercenary in front of him, whispering a prayer to Corellon to guide his spell. Garren casts Witchfire Garren:  rolling 1d20+5 vs Reflex ( 4 ) +5= 9 rolling 2d6+5 Fire Damage (2 +1 ) +5 = 8 If successful, target receives -5 Penalty to Attack until end of my next turn.

Ragnarok (GM):(I have a feeling you'll end up killing yourself xD) Gantore:(I SHIFTED 1, IM DONE) Korak:(well garren it seems we are gonna get carried) Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:Aeris groans slightly, shaking her head and funneling some more healing into Gantore. rolling 2d8 ( 6 + 8 ) = 14 Garren:(I'm going to get so much crap tomorrow night if I tell the friends I play Dragon Age about this tomorrow night.) (Derp, repeated myself accidentally.) (I need some kind of method to boost my accuracy, ASAP...) Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:(Korak, go ahead and swing!) (How about not sucking so much?)

Eventually, they get bored and turn to walk off. "We'll be back, fools... next time, don't be so god damn bad." Korak:(I did it...In a way?) Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:Aeris lets out a sigh and slumps to the ground, rubbing the bridge of her nose slightly. "You guys... really are new at this, aren't you?" Garren:"Hey, at least I killed two of them before my unbelievable string of bad luck." He rubs his forehead, clearly vexed. Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:She scoffs "Bad luck? No... you just suck." Korak:"I did... Nothing" Garren:"You distracted them while my spells backfired. Your sacrifice was not entirely in vain." Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:Nevertheless, Aeris gets up and channels healing into those who are hurt. "What are you rag-tags doing out here, anyhow?" "I'm surprised you three didn't end up falling off a cliff and dying on your way here." She looks at Gantore and scoffs. "If it wasn't for -me-, -you'd- be dead." She retorts with a glare. Gantore:"i dont know about them, but i kicked some ass, i just tend to get hit alot while i kick ass" "ok sweetheart, if it wasnt for us, you would be dead. show some appreaciation" Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:She perks a brow. "To town? We aren't in town yet... I was heading up to Winterhaven on an assignment with my church... a few cultists seem to be causing some trouble there." Gantore:we have a comedian xcleric on our hands "true...literally true,..but i digress...so what brings u to town?" cultists!?! i hate damn cultists!

Gantore:(ha, ok) Garren:(Let me see what the miss does) Ragnarok (GM):(... Aeris has a second use of Divine Guidance...) Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:Aeris pinches the brow of her nose. "You guys have got to be the worst heroes yet..." She says as she allows Garren to re-roll! Gantore:(garren u there? or screwing the macros again? Garren:  rolling 1d20+5 vs Reflex ( 5 ) +5 =  10 Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:*facepalms* Garren:(Good lord.) Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:"That Garren:(I am the worst shot EVER!) Korak:(pffft Aeris, Cleric of the Sun:"That's it! I quit!" Ragnarok (GM):(jk jk) Garren:(Should I just do the macro again... I already did the same attack roll...) Ragnarok (GM):(oh ho! A technicality? o.O Yes, you need to reroll the macro.) Garren casts Crown of Stars Garren:  rolling 1d20+5 vs Reflex ( 1 ) +5  =  6 rolling 2d12+5 Radiant Damage ( 9 + 11 ) +5  =  25 (It's EVEN WORSE) Ragnarok (GM):(*falls over laughing*) Garren:(GOD DAMNIT!) Garren is the worst Warlock. EVER.
We have a house rule that lets you spend a healing surge to re-roll a failed Daily.  Usually it works just like the above :)
That kinda skews the balance. Dailies already have miss effects so that they're not totally wasted.  Also, Warlocks can take a feat to regain encounter powers on miss: Sacrifice to Caiphon: Warlock, Con 13.  If you miss all targets of a warlock encounter power you can damage yourself to regain it.
How does it screw the balance? He missed a total of 5 times within 3 rounds... if anything, it was evening out the balance.
That was amusing.
Yeah, but you (or have been) "that guy" who wants to HEAVE the dice after building the set up and getting everything "just so" only to roll a miss.  And then to use Elven Accuracy and roll 1 less than he did before.  I just need a mechanic to "help" get one more try.  Fate has a way of really doing Karma in a harsh way,
