I bet you get less then 1% (and as such needing to goto the 1,000+) to react.why?  why can't we just have it on the worst things?I'm sorry but that doesn't describe D&D to me at all... not even in 1995 when I was an emo little punk who thought everything was dark and evil or it was for babies...D&D doesn't delve into nasty things as a rule... you may use it to, but again it is all cartoon violence.My fighter got hit by a giant claw for 45 damage... then a fire breath bathed the whole party for 30 fire damage (that the rogue took none somehow cause he teleported for a second I guess) and then the rogue slipped a small knife into the dragon and did more damage then 3 rounds of the barbarian hitting it with his great axe... then we were all fine... nothing lasted.later that night in real time (2 days later in game) we come across 10 orcs with longbows, and they suprise us... they all fire in the surprise  round and hit (2 attacks per orc, 20 arrows but split between 4 targets ) 5 arrows hit the barbarian, 5 arrows hit the fighter 5 arrows hit the rogue 5 arrows hit the wizard... the wizard is really hurt, those hits did almost half his HP... non surprise round the wizard goes first and fireballs the orcs... they all die.  You can somehow recover those ten wooden bows with strings from that fire blast that killed them... and yeah the wizard needs some healing (sit for an hour and spend some HD or Drink some potions) but even if you don't rest or heal you can keep walking like nothing happened.edit: I forgot the best one... back in 3e when the knight was a new class a woman on this form talked about her character taking off her armor and weapons and jumping into an active volcano taking 20d6 fire damage over and over again to get something from inside the lava... climbing out still taking the damage (I think for 3 rounds) and sighing that she was going to need a drink and some healing... because she was ALMOST to single digit hp.Tom and Jerry hit each other with frying pans... no permanent damage, your fighter gets hit 100 times over 8 levels and the same thing.</blockquote>
