[QUOTE="LordVyreth, post: 2331751, member: 9626"] Potentially, when within the context of a mob versus one high-level fighter. When magic and monsters are factored in, it remains just as absurd. With these rules, fifty-some commoners with no training, weaponry, or exceptional traits could defeat gigantic monsters and even landed dragons without taking a single casualty. They can even do damage to monsters with DR despite not having a single weapon capable of penetrating it. And by mob logic, the best way to survive a fireball without anybody dying is by squeezing as close together as possible in a tight formation. Besides, it makes to sense to create a system that better reflects reality in the middle of a game involving heroic characters. The rules are designed for people who want to play Aragorn, Lancelot, or even real individuals like Blackbeard. Tossing a single theoretical bone to realism like this is like including a core rule in the DMG2 that inflicts a permanent debilitating injury on characters every time they take critical hits.
