[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8028078, member: 53980"] That's fine if that's the kind of campaign you want to run. I would assume that in that style of campaign a T3 barbarian can stab themselves through the heart and walk away fine. That's not how I run my campaigns. High hp are less about "meat", and more about luck and skill. IMC a level 20 barbarian who chooses to stab themselves in the heart would die (barring immediate medical intervention or the like). I think both are valid, as long as you're consistent. Although in this case it's more about the player trying to game the system. I mean, I think we can reasonably assume that had he been down to 20 hp, he wouldn't have proposed what he did. He only suggested it because he knew the rules and that the fall couldn't kill him (according to those rules). Frankly, I think a major part of the GM's role is ruling on unconventional situations like the above. [/QUOTE]
