If every attack, even if it’s a critical, never actually does damage, narrating and describing the scene becomes incredibly boring and lack of drama. It becomes like the GI Joe cartoon of the 80s. So many attacks, no one ever gets hit.I don’t think I need to adjust the rules. Simply treating a significant portion of HP as physical damage works fine. It’s only a verisimilitude issue when you’ve narrated this huge combat that went tooth and nail and the PCs barely survived, and suddenly they’re back to max after a nap. Thank goodness 5e has built in optional rules, or it might be too much.</blockquote>
