Wasn't sure if we still wanted her alive. Or if you'd get that bonus to damage.

Re: B&B Group 1 OOC
It probably wouldn't have killed her outright if you had used empower for extra damage, but ultimately that's up to the DM. By mechanics though, she'd have a few more hit points before death, we'd need to beat her down to her -strength before she croaked.
He might not be being literal, but who knows. Either way, not much we can do about it now.

The djinn died before that. I had the feeling that going into negatives would kill her.

Re: B&B Group 1 OOC
The djinn was a demon though. I don't know if it's explicit in this version, but generally in DnD undead and outsiders crumble or poof back to their home dimension respectively when they drop to 0 HP, unlike living things which need to do annoying things like bleed to death.

I'll keep that in mind. This is the first time I play any kind of DnD.

Re: B&B Group 1 OOC
Speaking of which, I'm glad movement isn't a thing in DnD, since holy shit the mechanics for movement made my brain bleed. Last DnD game I saw, there were movement mechanics for just walking around town and opening doors. Saying shit like: "If you walk past the shady dude on an adjacent square, remember that he'll have an Attack of Opportunity on you".
And I'm like, hahaha. Fuck that shit.

Re: B&B Group 1 OOC
Demons don't usually crumple on 0, but not sure negatives exist in this version. Doesn't make much diffrence in the grand scheme mind cus once someone hits 0 unless they have a healing function around, they're out of the fight.

She's a cleric, she's got healing spells. Not sure if she can use them while in negatives, though.

Re: B&B Group 1 OOC
Nah, I was mostly saying that because it's not really worthwhile to have another round of combat, since you guys kinda trashed them. I'm going to have to buff the other boss fight for you! Updating briefly. She isn't actually going to die, just pass out from exhaustion.

As long as the next boss fight will surrender to Karaz and become her minion.
Need more minions.

A healbot would be useful, to be honest.

Unless we spring for potions or scrolls, we got no access to mid-combat healing.

Re: B&B Group 1 OOC
Unless healing outstrips damage being dealt, it's better most of the time to focus on eliminating the enemy unless the healing is enough to prevent you from reaching 0. This is because you're spending turns trying to negate the enemies turn.
Breaking even is a problem because every time you break even you spend resources, and unless they are spending equal or greater resources, you are basically wasting time.
Healing's place in combat when the above is not true is to keep someone above 0. As someones not out until they are incapacitated, it's only worth using it if it can prevent the next hit from taking someone out of the fight.Or putting them back into it if they did hit 0.
Meanwhile, damaging or incapacitating the opponent is generally preferable as dead enemies do 0 damage and thus causes you to burn less resources generally.
