[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9054000, member: 6915329"] I mean, it seems weird that you can start out (at 9th level) being able to smash through magical force fields. It would seem more logical that they get that ability at a later level. Actually being able to smash through regular objects is fine. According to the 5e DMG (just in case they have changed or will change it for 1D&D), a table is probably Medium size and therefore have 4 hp if fragile and 18 if resilient. If you do d4 damage with +3 Strength, you're doing enough damage to smash a typical table on the lowest possible damage roll, even without doubling. With doubling, then on an [I]average [/I]d4 damage roll, you could smash a resilient table in two blows--even if the table was made out of adamantine, since material only ups the AC, and objects in 5e don't seem to have hardness. (And even a low-level barbarian, with +5 attack bonus, can hit an AC 23 adamantine table with a good roll). So, personally speaking, I would be fine with a lower level barbarian needing two blows to smash an adamantine table--or one attack with two fists--and a higher level barbarian only needing one. Especially since the lower-level barb [I]could [/I]also just use an axe and cleave that sucker in two with only a better-than-average damage roll. Nah. Just the silliness. Fair enough. The link takes you to their (legal, free) Tools page, which includes all the info you could need. [/QUOTE]
