What does Missed Attack Narrator create?
Turn an already-decided ordinary missed attack into a believable action beat. Prepare the approach, cause and defence, miss moment, preserved attacker competence, visible aftermath, immediate implication, witness beat, future callback and player-safe read-aloud.
What causes can explain the miss?
Choose from nine causes: deflection, armour, dodge, distance, obstruction, unstable footing, weapon contact, an anticipated move or last-second movement. Review which cause fits the established attacker, target and attempted strike.
What can I configure?
Name the attacker and target, describe the attempt and choose melee, ranged, spell or improvised attack form, cause and tone. Add skill, weapon or spell, distance, defence or movement, terrain, obstructions, footing, visibility, pace, stakes, witnesses and private notes.
Does it change the rules result?
The miss is already settled before narration begins. The narrator does not roll the attack, calculate Armour Class or modifiers, change the result, add damage or conditions, or invent a critical fumble. Use the dedicated Critical Hit / Fumble Generator for natural-one mechanics, Advantage / Disadvantage Story Generator for the extra die, or Why Didn’t It Work? Generator for a failed non-attack check.
How do editing, history and exports work?
Edit the scene, lock useful sections and regenerate selected beats. Revisit recent versions during the current session and use undo and redo. Export narration you want to keep after closing the product. Copy the complete DM version, player-safe view, read-aloud or selected sections, download the finished narration as JSON, or print an audience-selected version. Review material before sharing.
