[QUOTE="Revinor, post: 4203030, member: 25037"] Miners are not hitting walls with two handed swords using combat maneuvers. Rules are bit different in such case. Plus - when was last time you have tried to destroy some strong wall in real life? I remember when we wanted to go through the 2-brick wide wall to get into some forgotten fort in my city. We had a good hammer plus a some kind of spike-thing which is used for chipping off concrete. We aimed for 40x40cm hole. We got over 10 people, but only 1 set of tools, so everybody was doing his best for 5 minutes and then we switched. We got like half brick deep in 2 hours... Yes, these were good bricks (castle quality), not like ones used in contemporary buildings. Fortunately for us, after this time, some old man came and asked what we are doing. we got completly scared that he is from police, but it turned out that he is retired miner and he offered he can finish it for us... in 15 minutes rest of the hole was done. As all 10 people were heavily RPG oriented we immediately called this encounter as deus-ex-machina from bored game master - what are chances of meeting the retired, helpful miner in the woods, 400 km from the closest mine? Story aside, since the I have a proper respect versus well made walls. If you count how many hp of damage we have caused during this time... [/QUOTE]
