== Rocks are Underpowered in d20== That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Chunk of Granite" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Rocks deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that. I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine rock from Berlin Wall for 2,400,000 Euros (that's about 20,875,000 Yuans) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. [[Peasant Railgun|I can even smash blocks of solid steel with my rock.]] Dwarf master stonecutters spend decades working on a single rock and polish it up to a million times to produce the smoothest, deadliest stone weapons known to mankind. Polished rocks are thrice as blunt as common Danube riverbed pebbles and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a warhammer can smash through, a rock can break through better. I'm pretty sure such rock could easily break a knight wearing full plate in two with a single deadly swing. Ever wonder why medieval Native Americans never bothered conquering Holy Roman Empire? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined paladins and their deadly Blessed Stones of Smiting. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the rocks first because their killing power was feared and respected. So what am I saying? Rocks are simply the deadliest weapons that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for rocks: (Superior One-Handed Melee Weapon)<br> Natural Keen weapon (17-20X2)<br> 2d12 base damage<br> +5 proficiency bonus<br> +3 universal familiarity bonus<br> Superior Bashing (+2 pt./Lv To-Hit bonus to smash open doors, chests, barrels or similar; +1 pt./Lv To-Hit bonus when aiming at scull (beings without a head, such as oozes, are immune to these effects))<br> Heavy rock, light rock (counts as both)<br> High crit, off-hand, reach, spec. thrown (+5 To-Hit bonus), versatile Now that seems a lot more representative of the pulverizing raw power of rocks in real life, don't you think? tl;dr = Rocks need to do more damage in d20 system, see my new stat block.
