Look I am not talking about fantasy hear. I am talking about the idea that even if a sword has a blade 30 inches long, even if it can slice through iron or Godzilla's skin (which is supposed to be harder than iron), that sword can't physically cut deep enough (30" sword < 36" - 200" skin). It is not physically possible.
Sure, that is myth and fantasy - which is not what I was talking about. However, it is interesting to note you are talking about a god who hits the serpent in the head and every historical representation of Jormundandr indicates that head was not that much bigger than Thor.
Not in my game. It would take a deity or similar to challenge any version of Godzilla in my game. You can play that way if you want of course, but the idea seems to silly for me to entertain in my game.
I guess I thought people could understand the difference and discuss a RL physical mechanics on fantasy creatures simply based on size of materials without having to resort to "it's magic." My mistake. I am not trying to tread on anyone's fantasy.
Assume much? Actually I would make big G immune to mortal magic probably (or at least really high saves). I personally prefer martial characters and only play fighters and/or rogues.
Looks like I've already been doing Mythic monsters in a way. I have boss enemies Second Wind to full health when their HP depletes to zero. Then I start up a second phase.
Yup, last time I tried attacking a stone statue with a pointy metal stick the statue won. And that was just a regular statue. Any attempt to apply RL physical mechanics to D&D combat is doomed from the start.
Again, that is not what I was trying to do. I was simply saying a 30" stick cannot get all the way through a 36" substance. It doesn't matter if that substance is real or fantasy. However, in D&D anything is possible of course.
And it can't go through a 1" thick stone substance either. Realism and D&D does not compute.
Look, tanks and such are ineffective against Gojira, a sword means nothing.
