[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 9605422, member: 6701124"] Hadn't looked up the hit points of objects in it for 5e before... In the free rules, anyway, a resilient cart or dining room table (Large) has 27 hit points, so the siege monster lets a Tarrasque or Kraken break them with one hit... but the Dragon Turtle and Roc don't get siege monster. For things like a stone buildings wall, "To track Hit Points for a Huge or Gargantuan object, divide it into Large or smaller sections, and track each section’s Hit Points separately. The DM determines whether destroying part of an object causes the whole thing to collapse." But it feels odd that a section of stone wall is just as strong as a resilient table or cart. Are there more rules elsewhere? For the Kraken and Dragon Turtle (using Saltmarsh) the easily transportable 100 pound rowboat has 50 hit points and a keelboat has 100. In those cases the new rules about dividing into parts feels like it makes more sense, I guess. In any case, it still feels odd to me that whether the polar bear decides to resist would really matter to the 70' tall most destructive creature in the universe. Even if it was agreed that the damage is good. Why is the reach of Tarrasque tail, for example, so short? [/QUOTE]
