Hey. Buy my bed. Nothing bad ever happened on it.
So, what youâre saying is, a lvl 20 character would be absolutely unkillable? Imagine, a lvl 20 warforged artificer with 22 ac walking onto the battlefield
Terminator music starts to play.
This one time I made a battle-scarred Warforged Bard whose performance consisted of playing the cannonball dents in his armour plates while keeping the rhythm by jigging the loose bolts in his ankles, like a cross between tap dancing and a one-man kettle drum band.
You forgot to link it. HERE ya go.
I mean... Lvl 20 characters would already be unkillable irl. They are basically demigods.
Like look at Zealot barbarians. They're too angry to die even after failing their death saves. Other than one shotting them or using instakill spells (or sleep if they aren't immune to that) the only way to kill them is through exhaustion. If they get their hands on an antimagic field item they basically have no weaknesses.
They have to keep the rage going. If you drop a nation's worth of artillery on them and then just walk away they can be killed.
Good luck getting out of combat range of a level 20 character though lol
They have to keep the rage going
Doesn't a level 14 barbarian get the ability to rage for as long as they like?
at level 15 they get persistent rage which makes it so it doesn't end early, ie. you don't need to hit or get hit to continue raging. it still only last 1 minute though
Persistent rage to make it last. Level 20 gives unlimited charges of rage, reusing a rage before the previous ends does not end the previous one in a way that kills a frenzy barbarian.
Level 20 is when they get infinite rages, level 15 is when it can't end early due to not taking damage or failing to attack things.
However, even a level 20 Barbarian will stop raging if you make them incapacitated, and errybody gotta sleep sometime.
Thri-keen barbarian: I have no such weakness!
haha true, or Warforged or Elf, since the op comparison was IRL I was assuming Humans only. Unless...
Looks up at night sky worriedly
Ok but imagine having to run for 16 hours straight if you piss off a level 20 barbarian as soon as they wake up.
If he really wants you dead it'll be far longer than 16 hours
If he's willing to take the exhaustion from not sleeping, (which can be denied by a successful con save) he can just keep going, meaning that a truly persistent barbarian will keep going until exhaustion 5 when they physically cannot move, which will take at least a week.
Don't fuck with barbarians kids.
How far can a barbarian move in a given turn consistently?
A level 1 wizard walks in at the end and casts sleep.
The classic counter!
You still need to roll more than their hitpoints
Thing is, by level 20 you don't end your rage if you can't attack any more, and you get infinite rages.
They just have to stay angry until they find a way to heal 1 HP or self-stabilize.
Cook a meal angrily.
See a doctor angrily.
Shop potions angrily.
So, a Karen?
im pretty sure karens are stuck at 1 str and 1 con permanently
negative charisma
Just resting eyes angrily.
Netflix and chilling alone angrily.
Crying in the bathroom angrily.
Reminds me of something I saw where people was asking for magic items that sound like jokes but are actually game-breaking in the right circumstances.
Someone suggested an amulet that casts Revivify on its wearer at the beginning of each turn, but still requires being fed the material components into a gem slot on the front... which get used up instantly, because it casts the spell every turn.
Zealots don't require material components to revive.
Precisely
Exactly. For anyone else it's a joke item. For a Zealot, it's complete immortality.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8VO24md_0w
TL;DW: yeah even if they just have a regular healing potion and drink it before their rage ends (or healing word from a teammate, etc.) they're basically unkillable.
Without spells, the only reliable way to kill them is by the Instant Death rule i.e. a single hit with damage equal to or greater than their hit point maximum. Which for a high level barbarian can be quite difficult to do.
can't one type of paladin literally turn into a fucking angel at lvl 20?
For 1 minute with resistance to all damage?
Not at all. A medieval canonball is 8d10 damage. Imagine a modern missile.
I mean you are starting to get into AC and resistances, to things like being able to dodge AOE with no damage (evasion), or not dying even if you take over max health in DMG.
Plus I'm not even sure a missile would impart more energy into a human target than a cannon ball, since it's more of an area blast.
Its still a missile. The amount of energy and tnt in one blast definitely is superior to what a canonball brings to the table, especially a more primitive one like the one in dnd.
And AC? Unless you have AC19 at least youâre very much destroyable by a missile seeing as youâre only as hard to hurt as iron or steel
You are mistaking total energy and energy imparted into a specific target. With an explosion the energy is spread out over the blast area. Even a direct hit, a missile would impart less than 10% of it's energy into the person. Unless it was a kinetic weapon, which would make it just a different form of cannonball.
Besides, on area of effect spells like fireball, you can roll dex saves, which halves damage, or if you have evasion fully negates the DMG. A level 20 character built for evasion could easily dodge that.
You also could easily have AC above 19 at 20th lvl, especially with items or spells. You can reasonably get 27 AC, and there are builds that go upwards of 40
Wouldnât really work like that, I mean otherwise I guess a nuke is less powerful than a 3m canonball then eh?
Yeah but a Barbarian with 40AC, Evasion, and over 300 hit points is pretty much impossible.
Most missiles aren't nukes lol, there's a bit of a range between medieval cannonball and Tsar Bomba.
But yeah, the point is that there are many builds at 20th lvl that are basically unkillable irl.
Edit: also you can get over 400 hp. You can also be a barb with Bear Totem which halves DMG, effectively doubling your health.
Let's be honest, a level 5 raging bear totem barbarian would be able to facetank a battalion of actual tanks.
Especially when you consider that their battleaxe does 6 damage minimum before the rage.
Not really, no. They would die to a wwi tanks machine gun on turn 1.
Edit::
I did the math. Mk. V has 2 canons and 4 machine guns. Using dnd stats, that's 18d8 on the first round and every 3rd after that and 8d8 on the rest. 81 and 36avg damage.
Let's assume that our barb is absolute beast. So not only he has 18 Con, he also rolled max hit dices and put his asi into Con too. That gives him 81 hp on lvl 5.
I will correct myself, he will die on turn 3 to a wwi British tank.
the people here are carrying on the joke from the submission, the premise of which is 1 hp = 1 hit from a 14 inch shell.
so no the barbarian wins because if you can withstand 81 14 inch shells, and deal a minimum of 1 14 inch shell equivalent from throwing a rock, you would destroy a wwi tank.
Wouldn't each shot be a separate roll to hit? So the numbers would be a bit lower
4x2d8, for average of 9
2x5d8, for average of 22,5
No I mean each of those weapons has its own chance to miss, they are operated independently.
Ah

A level 20 anything is basically unkillable in most systems. If you hit level 20 you're basically a demigod.
Here's a great article about expectations and how levels actually work- like how Aragorn is actually just level 5.
A lv 20 warforged artificer can get 26 ac easy (with them being an armorer or taking the heavily armored feat)
What if a monk redirected it?
How many size categories larger than the monk is this projectile though? Gotta be at least a colossal, yeah?
Oh. There's no RAW regarding size of projectile? I see...
Honestly screw it, have the monk deflect cannonballs. It's fun and lord knows they need the bonus
That's some kung fury level bs that would 100% happen at my table
At that point I guess it's less about redirecting the shell itself and more about redirecting yourself around it, Matrix style
Nah, if they reduce the damage to 0 let them shoot it back at the cannon. Kung Fu Panda who
I've done it with my kensei monk. Bumrushed three cannons up a long narrow cave to get in close enough range to release the Tiny Servant the artificer made, so it could go destroy the ammo store. Got mightily fucked up but made it!
Has to be small enough to be held in one hand.
But tbh fuck that. Mages can bend reality, let monks also have their fun too.
Hey if people can palm a basketball, a monk probably has the grip strength to palm a 14in shell
Excellent point. It says held, not held comfortably.
I can hold a 45 lbs barbell in one hand, comfortably even. Not a 14in shell but I'm also not a demi-god adventurer monk.
the only size requirement is for throwing it back
Technically it is for catching it period. If itâs too large to hold in one hand, the most you can do is deflect it, which makes sense for something like this.
Need a wizard nearby concentrating on Enlarge Person. Just imagine a giant monk standing on an aircraft carrier catching bombs/missiles and throwing them back.
Level 3 monks can deflect what, 10 hit points worth of damage? So they should be able to deflect a much larger projectile than just a 14inch shell
But then all attacks made with existing D&D weapons deal 0 damage.
either that or humans in D&D are incredible resilient.
Well, I meant because no sword/axe/dagger/arrow is going to deal anywhere near as much damage as a 14-in shell.
Ok but what if the sword/axe/dagger/arrow tries it's darn best?
Ok, but only once it learns the power of friendship.
And incredible violence

I think you are giving that arrow a big stat boost. Baseline shell does 1 dmg to a battleship. Arrow is doing zero as it barely scratches the paint.

Piggybacking on this.
The original Palladium fantasy game was indeed SDC only, though I believe that some supernatural creatures also had MDC later on after the inclusion of the post apocalyptic Rifts game they made, so conventional weapons like arrows or swords couldn't even scratch them. They made it so that you could bring some Rifts mechanics into Palladium due to the nature of Rifts.
MDC was pretty much king in Rifts though. Nearly every weapon was advanced to the point that it would absolutely kill a human in one shot. From the cheapest Wilk's brand laser pistol to the Glitter Boy's "Boom Gun" flechete railgun.
Both games were a lot of fun.
Source: Huge Rifts fan who still has a bunch of the source books.
Huh, that's actually a really cool and immersive way to hand hitpoints in a way.
You misunderstood the comment
Adamantine weapons auto crit objects. Give one to a sufficiently strong monster with the Siege Monster trait and maybe you can add up to a 14 inch shell?
Maaaaybe. Okay, that can deal 1 damage.
At that point, though, heavy armour should decrease AC, since no amount of platingâs going to stop a 14-in shell (or a siege monster with an adamantine weapon) and your only real defence is to move the fuck out of the way.
14" of plating will stop a 14" shell (at 20000 yds)
At that point, though, heavy armour should decrease AC
Does 5E not do that? With Pathfinder most armor puts a cap on your dex bonus to AC.
So, for example, if you have 16 dex that's +3 flat to your AC. So 13, since base 10. If you put on full plate, though, that's +9 to your AC. But it caps your dex bonus to +1, so it actually works out to you having 20 AC instead of 22.
So the elf with +5 dex might be better off with lighter armors, but the dwarf with a 10 in dex is perfectly happy with plate.
In 5e Heavy Armour just doesn't benefit from Dex at all, so a set of Plate Armour just sets your AC to 18, so the only way to get higher when wearing heavy armour would be to find magical heavy armour.
Somebody else has already answered, so I wonât repeat what they said. Iâll just say that my point was that against a shell your only defence should be moving out of the way (ie your dex). Wearing plate as opposed to wearing cloth makes absolutely no difference against a tank/ship/cannon shell that size. Since heavier armour limits your mobility more, heavier armour should decrease AC instead of increasing it (because, for example, with someone with +5 dex, cloth gives an AC of 15 (10 + dex) and plate gives an AC of 18 (18 without dex)).
Well now you're just begging for someone to homebrew a 14 inch shell.
Peasant Railgun + Spell that allows you to see targets beyond the horizon + Hollow Iron sphere + Blacksmith that can turn the sphere into a shell shaped object gunpowder + high explosive compound = stonks.
Peasant Railgun OP
Weâre working in fractions of a hitpoint now
1d10 - 9
Then my grandfather must have 2HP
Please elaborate!??!!?
He survived a 14 inch shell
He didnât survive the second

nah, the first one just flunked itâs attack roll
As a wise man once said: "Humans are real squishy, when you think about it."
We're really easy to kill by accident but really hard to kill on purpose.
This guy gets it
We can fall on a flat surface and die from it.
Humans are stupidly fragile while still ridiculously resilient compared to other animals.
Fun fact, armor class is also naval in origin, coming from wargames pitting wooden sailing ships against early ironclads, because smaller, nonexplosive cannon shells meant for killing wooden ships would not even count as dealing a hit point against an ironclad.
Which is also the origin of THAC0. The best armoured ships have first-class armour. Second-class armour isn't quite as good. And so forth.
I hate thac0
I think in the civil war there were two of the first ironclads that went to battle and after hours and hours of bouncing dozens and dozens of cannonballs off each other they just ended up giving up and leaving.
The battle of the Monitor and the Merrimack, yes.
My Cleric now identifies as the USS Colorado
I'm sorry a 14in shell fired from a Navy level artillery Cannon only deals one damage
The real BBEG is the BDG we found along the way
Well, in SW5e, ship stats are a part of the core game mechanics, and a single Hit Point (or technically hull point) translates to 10 points of damage from a ground unit, meaning HP for ships is at a 10:1 ratio with people. So, every living thing has 10 HP, technically.
When your DM breaks out the battleship long guns, at least you're going out with a bang.
[deleted]
Ahh yes, very credible
I'm pretty sure my buddy Trent has 2HP. Dude can deadlift like 350 and once had 33 tequila shots without passing out. He's a fucking machine bro I swear.
A 14" shell is gonna be hitting at about 2.4k fps, delivering about 1.6k lbs of bullet.
On the other hand, 33 tequila shots is a lot, he's probably got 3hp
A 14" shell is gonna be hitting at about 2.4k fps
God damn what kinda rig gets 2400 frames per second?
A 14â one apparently.
Someone rightfully said "all you need is 1HP. The rest is all temporary."
Spoke like a true Orc/Half-Orc/Zombie with Relentless Endurance
As funny as that would be... hit points is just that... HIT points. It's just a measure of how much you can be hit. Like pointed out by other replies here, if that's where hp came from, then even a dagger would be more powerful than a shell in the dnd world. Hell, a slap a la Will Smith would, too.
In the full video BDG goes on to say that HP came about because in early wargames you'd roll and your units would either live or die and people didn't really like that.
I can't really remember where I heard it, but I seem to remember that in early DnD the idea was that your guy was still mortal and he could only really take one sword wound to the chest before he fell over, but your HP was a measure of how far away from that fatal sword wound you were.
Could almost call it endurance or exhaustion points. Anything until 0 is close, or slashes that weaken you. Then the next one is fatal or close to.
I actually really want to run a modified version of DnD where that's the case, and you can choose to negate damage by taking wounds. I think it would be fun to play with a bunch of underpowered characters that have to think things through very carefully and measure the risks of their actions before committing to them.
One peasant is capable of tanking four 14-inch shells to the face before dying
BDG! Yes!
At least one living organism that could take it:

Funny memes should be a thing here, oh wait, it is the next trend of something being misinterpreted, let me get my laughing button out.
An unarmed attack by a person of average strength does equivalent damage to 100 pounds of high explosives.
Perhaps large whales and the like could have more?
I feel like that response didn't fully answer the question given. Or rather, it doesn't sufficiently answer the question here, which is slightly different. "Can a whale survive a 14-inch shell hit" and "Can you kill a (blue) whale with a tank shell" while similar, albeit close to inverse, mean different things (to a similar degree of A can be B, but not all B is A). Yes, a tank shell can kill a large whale, but would it always kill, assuming a direct hit not impeded by water? Considering some of the creatures I've seen survive in r/natureismetal videos, my guess is no. (although it is unlikely to live particularly long afterward, due to being relatively easy prey)
Keep in mind a 14â gun is a LOT bigger than the guns on most tanks today. Even assuming 155mm caliber, thatâs around 6 inches, maybe
Honestly, I don't really know what kind of differing damage guns of various calibres can do. Heavy ordinance aside, even handheld firearms aren't a thing I know much on this topic about. Any chance you've got an example of the damage a 14 inch shell could do?
Fucking amazing
except for swarms of course
How does he look 14 and 36 at the same time?
Still no one talks about how the peasant can survive 4 14-inch shells...
Jokes on you I have 162 hitpoints
Oh cool TIL
I don't agree 100% with BDG, I think a blue whale would be something like 2HP
A 14" AP shell is going to go in one side and out the other, while a HE one delivers over 100lbs of high explosives. A blue whale is big, but it's not surviving that, especially if it's correctly fuzed.
Oh ok, I wouldn't know, I'm not familiar with the damage they can do, I just judged based on size, and thought "well if that misses a vital organ maybe the whale could survive"
Yeah, that 14" number is diameter. Each shell weighs just shy of a ton, so thats a little over a smart car traveling at about 2.4k feet per second. That's a lot of impact. Maybe if you just graze it, the whale will survive, but anything else is probably a kill. Especially since they're designed to explode inside the target.
And 14" is on the small end.

Thats not what what he said a hitpoint is. He just described what âlifeâ is (specifically of a ship) and that the one 14 in shell is 1 âhit powerâ.
So by that rationality, since everyone has one âlifeâ, it takes one âhit powerâ to do one âlifeâ of damage.
Not gonna lie, battles in D&D would be way more thrilling if everyone had just 1 hit and you're making death saves.

Hah, BDG! it's been a while.
I miss unraveled so much. I personally think there isn't a bad episode in the entire series
Honestly don't know if I've ever watched anything else under that channel lol
Good thing he has his own channel
Unraveled, Monster Factory, and Griffin's Amiibo Corner are the only things on Polygon I've ever gotten into, but all three are great.
Patrick's Sonic interviews are pretty solid. I have time for Patrick.
Pease Retweet was pretty great. That was a really good Toad.
There's Overboard, where the staff plays board games and I love it
Seconding this. If anyone gets this deep in the replies and is Overboard-curious but not ready to fully commit, I offer these two episodes featuring Brennan Lee Mulligan, DM of Dimension 20:
âAnomiaâ - Bonus features of this episode include Karen Han getting the category âEdible Plantâ and answering âany plantâ (chaos ensues), and the origin of Vango Bango (BDGâs character in their Cyberpunk RPG)
âCoupâ - Weirdly cinematic, develops lore. If youâre intrigued by a triumvirate of dukes and a good backstabbing, consider watching.
Brennan and Polygon? Worlds are colliding.
They even did one with Matt mercer, though I agree that the two you mentioned are probably the best overboard episodes they've done.
Great suggestions, both excellent episodes
The Game Overviews that Justin and Griffin did together were also really good
Spy Party is an all-time great tbh
Griffinâs Nuzlock run is pretty fun, too, IMO
I forget rhe name but the series where Pat tries to get Nintendo to retweet his really good picture of Toad is great
Not polygon, but Griffin McElroy runs a DND podcast called The Adventure Zone
Cool Games Inc was great before it stopped
I love his channel because you never know if youâre gonna get something funny, like a silly song, or something that draws forth existential horror.
Sometimes a silly song about existential horror.

Take a wild guess
To be fair, no one in this common chain has actually said the name Brian David Gilbert until I just did
Yeah fr, if You're a fan of them Why would you be kind of standoffish about sharing it?
You're the only one in the whole post to give the guy's name. Thanks Bud!
Overboard is pretty fun sometimes
It was just Unraveled and Monster Factory.
It was the only reason I ever subbed to that channel.
I like some of their stuff. I like learning new things about my favorite video games.
Clayton's "Black Box of Sim city" video is one of my favs.
But I can understand why some people don't enjoy their content as much
I liked "Gil and Gilbert". It was a livestream that Pat and BDG did for a little while that has the VoDs up on Polygon.
Iâm pretty sure I watch the Kirby one monthly, if not religiously. BDGâs stuff just gets funnier every watch.

"Every dish from BOTW" wasn't a bullseye imo, but I agree, not a bad episode was made
I think that's one of my favorites, watching a grown man rediscover how salt just makes everything better
I've just watched that one, that was some real effort put in for some moments of disappointment.
I thought it was hilarious to be honest
I agree but at the same time it wasn't really his fault. He could only use the studio for a single day, so he had to cut a lot of corners. Like, so many corners it was a circle. Basically down to "all vegetables are carrots"
One could say that those restrictions caused the episode to... Unravel
That was by far the best episode. The impossible premise, all the audibles he had to call to make so much of it actually happen, the absolute madness he descended into over the course of the day. If I had to choose one video I'd take that and nort the rest.

His ABBA cover songs all about classic monsters were certainly something special.

"Earn 20k a month by being your own boss" is one of my favourite videos of all time
I posted that to my facebook without any explanation and lost friends over it
Good riddance I say
Teaching jake about the camcorder is fucking amazing. Scarier than anything m night shamalamdingdong ever came up with.
I'm glad that one has been catching up to the others in terms of views. It was one of those that didn't get as much traffic as the others, but I absolutely loved it.
It legitimately has no right being as scary as it was. I like to think of myself as something of a horror aficionado and that video gave me such a feeling of unease for an entire day after watching it
I usually don't care much for horror, but I love the type of surrealist horror that BDG does with videos like that one. No clue why that is.
Dude's got some serious video skills. as a sometimes editor I watch half his stuff with my jaw on the floor.
Betcha didn't see that coming
I'm a movie magic pro
So expect the unexpected
And welcome to the show

I don't blame him for leaving Polygon, but at the same time he was a lot more productive working there. He hardly puts out anything these days.
Gill and Gilbert is still one of my favourite things to ever happen in the streaming world, which I often find really, really boring. He got my hopes up that streaming shows could be well designed and fun, and then just stopped
He streams on twitch with a lot of subs and has many paterons. He's doing fine even though I'll miss his more consistent YouTube presence.
He's been doing acting and voice acting and writing and stuff. Making a show with Netflix and several TV pilots and making adventures for a role-playing game and voice acting in some video games I think and so on. Things we might not see or where what we do get to see can be delayed by years or where you only really see . He's been busy building a more convential acting portfolio and career. So we get less YouTube, but we might see him in films or on Netflix or suddenly hear his voice when gaming.
Which yeah, good for him and it'll be cool if we start seeing him around in stuff, but I do definitely miss getting his old stuff straight to my subscription feed every week or month.

Gilling in the name of.
Why did he leave Polygon? After griffin left BDG was basically the only reason I paid attention to any of their stuff.
iirc he was kinda over doing Unraveled and wanted more creative freedom. These days once a games journalist get a large following from doing good work at an outlet their days at that outlet are numbered.
I bet me makes more money now from Patreon and other ventures while doing more of what he enjoys.
He is now showing up on Dropout as a guest on Um Actually and other new shows this year (I think one is releasing tonight?)
Anyone have a link to his business dog video?
