Hit points anyone?”Would you clarify?  If I have faith in something then I can suspend disbelief.  The Hit Point does not model reality, but over 40 years has proven it can model something fun, and easy to understand.Are you claiming the venerable Hit Point is the same sort of rule as “Unarmed Strikes are not weapons”How many other systems outside of D&D 3e tell Bruce Lee he can not register his hands as lethal weapons?as for this:And yes, it is fundamentally flawed to look at how a rule is written for a completely different game and base 5e's assumptions on that. 5e is a separate game and rules need to viewed through a 5e lensPose this question as a separate topic, and let us see what the board thinks.  I fundamentally disagree, but I am curious as to others opinions and evidence.I (good naturally) throw down the gauntlet! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤺" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f93a.png" title="Person fencing    :person_fencing:" data-shortname=":person_fencing:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
