[QUOTE="Mark, post: 46485, member: 5"] I guess I'm saying that if you change one thing conceptually, you need to change other things conceptually, which is what you seem to be also saying. To my mind saying that a higher level fighter is only scratched by fifteen arrows that each only do a couple/few hitpoints, where they would kill a first level fighter, is actually saying that the higher level fighter has had a good deal of luck/skill/fate. Perhaps we are saying things in different ways, if we are in fact agreeing that arrows that do damage are indeed hitting, and not simply bouncing off a tough fighter while killing a lesser fighter. As you say right out of the box "According to the PHB, yes, hp = physical damage capacity. End of story." So we are seemingly in agreement that a fifteen arrows are indeed doing physical damage, we're just finding different ways to explain the effect of that physical damage. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
