[QUOTE="YRUSirius, post: 5885257, member: 62341"] Yeah, exactly. I'm selectively blind. With purpose. I don't want characters to survive if they fall into lava. I don't want characters to survive if they fall a very high fall. BUT: I DO want them to survive a T-Rex attack, I DO want them to survive a dragon's breath attack, etc. (T-Rex could just hit the arm, and have the adventurer in his mouth, the adventurer could duck behind his shield.) What's my rationale? If a T-Rex swallows you I want the adventurer to survive and continue fighting even IN the T-Rex. If a dragon's breath is successfull I want the adventurer to be burned pretty badly, but I want him to continue. If he fall's a very big height I don't want him to continue to fight, I want him dead. He's smoosh. Nothing there to that could continue the fight. If he falls into lava he's marshmallowed and can't continue fighting cause he's stuck in the larva, he already burned down and all that (Terminator, goodbye). So what exactly is the problem? Are you a player and want to keep on fighting if you fall from a specific height? Are you a DM and think that players actually care that much? Are you a rules layer who just looks at hit points without using common DM sense? -YRUSirius [/QUOTE]
