A 7th level wizard (assuming a 14 con) generally has 43 hitpoints. So sake of argument: Lets give that wizard a nice low AC 12. The chance all 3 giants hit him is 51% percent, basically a coin flip.But hey lets say every giant hits and every one of them does max damage (.05% chance in total). Wizard goes down to 8 hp on the first rock, 0 on the second, and takes a death save fail on the 3rd.... aka 1 healing word away from being back in the fight with no death fails.Ok lets get nuts. Lets have the giants crit 3 TIMES!!! This wizard is a pancake....right?Now the chance of 3 crits in a row like that is .01% but lets not let that stop us. An average crit does 38 damage. First rock puts the wizard does to 5 hitpoints. Second puts them to 0, third takes two death save fails.....aka 1 healing word away from being back in the fight with no death fails.So even under incredibly unlikely circumstances, with the giants getting initiative (with a -1 modifier no less) AND all knowing to attack the wizard first AND all hitting AND all doing massive damage.... the wizard is one first level spell away from being back in the fight. Now clearly this wizard is rattled, but he's not dead.</blockquote>
