Let's say he has Con 14 (18 buffed).Average hp for such a druid: HD 18d8+72, hp 156. (i.e., 4.5/HD and 8 for the first HD.)Close...A 10th- or higher-level cleric casting aid gives you 1d8+10 temporary hp, or 14 on the average.That's 170 hp and DR 10 from being a Huge earth elemental. Thus, taking 190 damage would kill you. On the average, you'll take 175 and survive (barely).So to kill you, 380 or more has to be rolled on the 100d6 ('cause you only take half, with the other half going to the other guy - who needs to be either very tough, immune to death of this kind, or expendable).So your odds aren't too bad. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />'course, I didn't even try hard. Trust me, increasing the druid's odds for survival even further is quite doable; an 18th-level druid and his friends can do some impressive buffing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />(Side note: 'course, there's the massive damage save. But an 18th-level Druid has a +11 base Fortitude save and gains +4 from the aforementioned 18 Con. And you probably have some resistance bonuses as well. With the DC being only 15, you can't fail unless you roll a 1.)Some computer-generated 100d6 rolls to test how rare 380+ damage is...331,361,342,330,371,338,322,340,299,355,332,324,340,333,356,319,338,354,372,368,367,354,380,345,356,375,358,361,363,354,352,354,327,346,376,329,348,358,357,351,344,344,349,329,324,358,324,358,365,333,355,351,359,353,350,364,364,375,348,362,343,337,346,346,359,341,357,323,361,370,354,346,316,331,343,355,324,334,361,334,352,315,372,374,327,326,331,348,346,346,326,367,343,354,352,332,370,367,355,367,334,332,391,350,346,340,340,342,340,356,358,366,324,334,364,353,346,350,337,350,384,354,332,371,335,340,352,385,368,360,328,360,358,331,357,365,343,367,323,330,348,343,363,369,338,359,342,363,349,335,335,303,350,348,363,368,317,355,347,338,363,332,356,377,345,323,338,349,350,360,338,359,360,348,370,355,337,358,358,344,355,371,371,361,355,352,324,363,344,399,348,345,341,327,366,385,353,400,326,339,312,297,355,359,375,348,365,352,359,335,357,359,343,329,319,347,342,377,346,349,336,340,336,355,344,334,355,374,345,334,329,340,332,335,357,349,357,382,344,351,355,326,360,357,363,328,353,324,353,352,388,362,342,362,352</blockquote>
