Probably more, maybe a 100.Ability score wise, a 20 STR is the strongest human being alive. Hulk can lift tens of thousands, if not millions of tons. STR score for linear progression... 1 STR score = 30 pounds. So you'd need a STR score in the millions to match Hulk or Thor onscreen.HP? A level 20 fighter can survive a good 2, maybe 3 falls from the sky. Thor and Hulk tango with people who (spoiler alert ish) can disintegrate moons. Disintegrating a moon would take something on the scale of quintillions, sextillions of more force/energy/whatever metric than falling. That's talking millions of millions of millions. On the other hand, bounded accuracy is meant to suggest that level 20 characters will always be threatened by enough mooks. If Thor blows up a a small, moon sized planet housing lives, that's many billions of creatures dead. Only casters can be used to contend with any fictional characters, and thats not because of their raw destructive power but because of their ability to shape reality and time. Meanwhile Fighters can swing a sword better than regular humans and possibly a couple of times faster too. Realistically martial characters in DND are weak as piss because of stats confining them to a certain level and bookkeeping an honestly epic progression would be tiresome. Who would want to double or triple your hit die every level?</blockquote>
