[QUOTE="Felix, post: 2884118, member: 3929"] You don't have to laugh: false assumption. If Hit Points specifically represent the amount of physical damage someone can take you have a valid point. But that is not all hit points can represent. Perhaps the fighter can manage to turn his body so he is hurt less by a dagger than a wizard. Perhaps the fighter has a lucky streak longer than other people. Perhaps Hit Points are an abstraction designed to help characters focused on combat survive in combat longer than other characters who are not. Are those reasonable? [i]Ad hominem[/i]. What exactly are you trying to say? I'm aware that this is a fantasy game and as such somethings don't exist; I am willing to let some things slide like if a sword weighs 2lbs or 8 when the rules of the game include [i]Magic Missile[/i]. I am trying to point out that this is a game which your dislike of 8lb weapons and rolling on the floor laughing when someone disagrees seems to suggest. Dragons? Sure. Wizards? Yep. 8lb swords? Get the f* out of town, man, how stupid do you think I am? [/QUOTE]
