Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Yesh, if a simple house brand incarnate of our almighty Snuggles can kill one of your pathetic race, what is to stop the might of the Snuggly One himself from utterly destroying your entire race, oh ye of little catnip!?!

The minimum damage dealt by any attack is one point, the additional -'s are for buffing purposes.

I play primarily 3.5 D&D. Most of my advice will be based off of this. If my advice doesn't apply, specify a version in your post.
Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
Can you imagine if Snuggles was the leader of the Evil League of Evil instead of Bad Horse?
Spoiler
A lot of guys ignore the laugh, and that's about standards. I mean, if you're going to get into the Evil League of Evil, you need to have a memorable laugh. What, do you think that Snuggles didn't work on his purr?
His terrible .. death-purr?
Of course, he would be above such things.
He is the Lone Pussycat of the Apocalypse. Think of him when you look to the night sky.

I figured as much. Shouldn't the minimum damage be 0? If you're too weak to effectively wield a weapon, you shouldn't do any damage. I guess it's just another silly rule...

Well as long as the attack hits it has to do at least some damage, not being able to use is accounted in your chances to hit.

Meh, it's not really a Memetic Mutation until it's got a LOLCAT series of photoshopped images. Or at least something more substantial than a single thread.

Only in 4th edition.
In 3rd edition, attacks do a minimum of 1 no matter the ability penalty.

You know, this has got to be one of the fastest/most amusing derails ever...

Hey, the magnificent Shades of gray made me the cool paladin! Give him a hand!
From time to time, I vanish from the boards. Like Frosty, though, I'll be back again some day!

Re: First time DMing and already killed a character.
I don't think so, Snuggles will occasionally take his time devouring an entire family and then leave the most emotionally unstable alive to live with the memory...for, to use the vernacular, "lolz"

The ELoE is just Snuggles fractured into many different people. When they fuse, Snuggles shall be reborn.

ah, but Snuggles is Master of the Schrödinger Domain, allowing him to be simultanously fractured and whole, dead and alive, all powerful and but a humble...ok, malicious house cat
should he choose, or unless he is observed
however should one even attempt to observe but a tenth of the radience of snuggles, one would be consumed utterly, and thus Snuggles remains the one true quantum god, utterly invincible
CATNIP FOR THE CAT GOD! YARN FOR THE YARN THRONE!
