[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7837458, member: 15700"] If that works for you table, then great! I mean that sincerely, and not sarcastically. I don't think any two people will ever agree with how to adjudicate this. We have responses ranging from "never gonna happen" to "just make an attack roll with minor changes" and everything in between. I suppose they're all valid. For me, D&D already pretty much ignores actual damage to the body (like broken bones, concussions, arms pulled out of sockets, etc) so I personally wouldn't apply that even though in real life if you hooked a person up to that ballista above with a rope, they'd have at least one of those lol. But I would probably apply some damage, and make the attack roll very hard to hit. Translation: an attempt only a very high level PC could even do, which sort of jives with what I expect very high level PCs [I]could [/I]do, because then you're at the point where a person can take the full effects of a dragon's breath, or fall from a mile up without a scratch, and slay a giant in a single turn.
