D&D General 0 HP Magic Missile = Death?

[Zardnaar]

So if you're reduced to 0 hp and get magic missiled before someone can healing word you thats 3 sources of damage= death?

 

[FarBeyondC]

Pretty much.

This happened to me in BG3! OMG I've killed Lae'zel!

Yep, but its cheesy. I play it is one damage since the missiles hit the target together.

Would you play a two weapon fighter stabbing the downed enemy twice as a single source of damage?

 

[Oofta]

Yes, no different than if the same monster had hit you 3 times.

Would you play a two weapon fighter stabbing the downed enemy twice as a single source of damage?

Nope, because two weapon fighters have to make two attack rolls. Magic Missile is one spell.

What about three hits from scorching ray, then? One spell, multiple rolls?

I now have a vision of a new member of the well planned bad-guy team. "The Cleaner". A not so high level Wizard with lots and lots of magic missile spells for just one purpose.

What if the body rolls down a slope onto three different caltrops?
