[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 674251, member: 1118"] The thing I love about my players is they will roleplay the situation exactly like real life. Fighter has 50hp, but a 1st level warrior has a crossbow on him - he treats it like one shot will kill him :) That said, I DO use the optional rule in the DMG where 3 natural 20s in a row equals instant death, just to make sure that the PCs are aware that they can't take their 100s of hitpoints for granted. I might also use the D20 Modern Massive Damage rules too, but with D&D it's so much easier to inflict large amounts of damage that this might lead to too many PC deaths IceBear [/QUOTE]
