Narrating hit point loss in Dungeons and Dragons can be a bit tricky. I often hear DM's narrate a bad roll that doesn't meet or beat its targets armor class as a miss. Also, a good roll that hits its targets armor class and not doing enough damage to “defeat“ the target is also kind of a miss. In this video, I discuss some of the ideas I found on various web sources about solutions for this narrative issue: Remove hit points AND remove d20 attack rolls (or to-hit rolls) from D&D entirely. Can it be done? What would that look like in game? Which one is better? Watch this video to find out my thoughts on the matter.
