[QUOTE="triqui, post: 5885429, member: 57948"] I bolded the important part for me. Just to point, I did not bent ANY rule. It's you who are trying to convolute then. "snatch" rule is clear. "crash" rule is clear. "grab" rule for T-Rex are clear. The Dragon DOES crash on you, the T-Rex DOES bite you with his giant jaw. The str 15 fighter with a falchion coupdegracing you DID try to decapitate you executing style. It's your brain the one that is not able to accept it and try to veil through some half-baked rationalizing excuses, not me bending the rules. The rules are clear. I stoped to worry about suspension of disbelief when I managed to learn that it's a game. The heroes are bound to the game rules, and that's it. They don't die when they fall 100', because Batman does not die when he falls 100' either. Something is not survivable, when it does more damage than your PC has hit points. 100' fall is lethal for a lvl 1 fighter, but not for a lvl 10 one. Just like a T-Rex bite is lethal for a lvl 1 fighter but not for a lvl 10 one. This is D&D. It's not realistic, never have been. Realistic humans can't survive a dragon tail slap. I no longer try to delude myself with that. Btw, in D&D, heroes CAN survive worm-hole type singularities (retributives strikes and portable hole/bag of holding combos), although not black holes (sphere of annihilation artifact) But if the Sphere of annihilation says it does 200 damage, and your character has 201, he will survive, and I'm fine with it. Just like he survives a partial desintegration. Mainly DM. Currently a player, until we finish a Pathfinder AP. [/QUOTE]
