Rewind?

[Dell]

We forgot this one thing last session - Raven could have taken that critical hit to his shield instead of his armor, bringing his AC down to 9, but allowing his armor and shield to be repairable.

Can we retcon that and say that he's still got it? I'm sure if any of us had remembered that he COULD do that, he would have - it makes no difference as far as the course of the battle goes, and now the armor would be matte black instead of glossy. Pretty please?

Particularly since Raven went out of his way to grab his shield instead of picking up his sword...

Hey, I'll take what I can get if it results in me not losing my armor.

I think that you are all correct with respect to what could have happened under the rules, that Raven could have chosen to take the blow on his shield and avoid destruction. The rules are also quite clear that after being raised from the dead your constitution decreases by one point. In both circumstances, the rules were not applied in the proper manner during the gaming session.

I think that, in general, I would prefer to not rewind or retcon events that happen during the game session. If we catch it at the time, I'm happy to change what happens then, but not later.

So, in the same manner that no one lost points of constitution after the raising from the dead, Raven's black armor unfortunately has been reduced to scrap.
