[QUOTE="Arch-Fiend, post: 7841023, member: 7016641"] lol look at this duuude. man i wonder if the universe you live in is as awesome as mine. some day youll be able to write a retort to a statement i make frog where you dont have to appeal to everyone else in the conversation in order to check if they have your back on what you say. you've been called out by me and slapped down by others for it, i dont know what will get you to learn. lets get back to base on what it is we are actually arguing about in order to properly tally that remark you just made. im arguing that the mechanics behind damage in 5e D&D does not describe an interpretation of hitpoint removal where hitpoints are removed as an action on the part of the character losing stamina in an effort to avoid a lethal attack, as well as those mechanics describe an interpretation of hitpoint removal where hitpoints are removed as an action of injury to a characters durability. ive outlined my entire case for this (though ive thought of a few more knails for the coffin) which does not require any player, dm included, to briefly step away from the narrative presented for how hitpoint mechanics work in order to conveniently change it in order to account for its inconsistencies can you do the same? if so i expect you to break down EACH of my criticism of the interpretation outlined in my thesis and i expect you to show your work. i dont care if you have to go back through and quote every instance you claim people have done this. im pretty sure i argued against every attempt to do so thus far, so im very curious to see what i missed.
