Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 7686113" data-attributes="member: 67338">A month or so back my party was 11th level, our fighter had over 100hp (I don't remember exaxt numbers, but it was more then enough over 100) the lowest hp member was our bard/rogue who was in the low sixties. The party was riding 19hp hippogriffs, and had pissed off a society of dragons living on the moon (long story)... so I had a pair of dragons (one red one white) fly down and hit them mid flight. I gave a pretty easy DC 9 perception roll to the party, and only our warlock made it. So Dragons got surprise... (I guess no one looks up). the red dragon hit two PCs with it's breath weapon, and it was the fighter and the bard... fighter rolled a nat 1 on his save and clung to his mount for dear life. The rouge/bard lept effortlessly from his sattle taking 1/2 damage. The breath weapon was like 20ish damage no big deal... both mounts failed and died.then came the falling. Given that they fly like 300 ft+ up in the air, they both hit terminal velocity.  I started counting out my d10's for the fall and the fighter player reminded me that was 4e, and it went back to d6's in 5e. I breathed a sigh of relief, I mean the bard was already going through his bag for a character sheet, but at least the fighter may make it. Then I laughed... and laughed and laughed. I rolled 20d6 and a miracle happened and saved BOTH players. We counted 3 times because it seamed impossible, if I had a DM screen up (I do sometimes) no one would belive I didn't fudge the rolls. 38 damage...witch lead to us all happy no one died. Especially me, because as much as my encounter was meant to be hard, I had forgotten the hippogriffs were never going to survive a Breath weapon...also on the good side was the Bard player with 20ish hp left laying on the ground asking "Why god, why would you force me to be consiuse and in this much pain after falling so far...do you not know why shock and sleep would be a blessing?" as his action for the first round...now I farly made the scenero (although I made a bo boo that made it more deadly) I ran it fairly, and I was rooting and cheering the PCs on the whole way...</blockquote>
