You're telling me that a level 5 fighter can fall off a 100 foot tall building and head first onto solid concrete? And survive? And shrug it off and kill people just fine at 100% effectiveness, no shattered bones or ruptured organs?
And the level 5 fighter can heal it all with a short rest and Hit Dice?
How does this make sense again?

it's actually a superhero game except the writers like to pretend it's not
the gods in the world are very invested, and willing to reward strong warriors with supernatural healing. You need to remember this is a land when 40 year old virgins can bend space and time
Have you tried playing Savage Worlds?
Stay on topic, or better yet have a nice day dogfricker.
That is a cat, anon
Yes because the Fighter's biggest power is being really tough due to big HD and getting to wear heavy armor, even though others can wear just as much armor and none of it helps against monsters past level 6 anyway. They also get to hit one more time each round, for piddling amounts of damage and with modifiers that don't benefit from crits.
How can dragons fly?
Why are you focusing on fighters, bro? Everyone knows paladins are the class specialized in falling.
Underrated post
No I'm telling that my 12 points character can pull off a Rasputin in 3D&T. https://youtu.be/16y1AkoZkmQ
But you are telling me you want to play GURPS.
Pic not related. Found a window to a timeline where David Cronenberg directed ER.
you dummy
if its a fall they can survive due to high hp you roleplay it as them doing things or things happening that would keep them from dying instantly
you obviously don't say they land straight down head first unless you are going to declare them dead
This, hit points aren't meat points
Your HP can also represent your stamina in a fight, how many times you can dodge or block before getting stabbed
>he says, despite the falling damage example btfoing his nonsense
read the other guy's post
hit by arrow for 1 damage save vs poison if not meatpoints how come save vs poison oh thats right you are just wrong.
What's the fall distance that would auto-kill the warrior, no save or chance at survival?

And why is it less that 33,330 feet?
Why did you link this? This is entirely unrelated to the question at hand.
homie, it's literally about someone who fell out of a plane and lived. Not unscathed, but still.
Didn't fall out of the plane. Learn2read
With increase in level does character's weight increase? Otherwise the force from the fall (even assuming terminal velocity) can only be so big without traveling to planets with bigger gravity etc. And since at some point characters can tank super heavy hits due to magic or whatever, they should also stop giving a frick about fall damage at some point.
Made-up example, solid concrete hasn't been invented yet.
Rome.
Rome didn't pave the roads with Portland cement. Try again.
>it’s not concrete unless it comes from the concret region of France, otherwise it’s just spicy rocks
Look up opus caementicium. They invented concrete, using it in construction, building aqueducts, ports, castles, etc, much of it still survives to today you dense git.
Play GURPS or some other simulationist system, then, IDGAF. if the idea of your character falling down a flight of steps and breaking his neck gets your dick hard, there's game systems that will let that happen.
In D&D only hit points gained from constitution bonus represent physical mass in terms of hit points. Rest is luck, 6th sense for danger and etc.
hurfdurf hitpoints aren't meat points
>stands in a lake of lava
If you stand in lava without some kind of magic or tech to protect you any sane narrator would simply rule you dead
No, because most editions of the game give damage values for lava. This is not a realistic game. If you can survive 6d6 a round [or whatever] for 10 rounds, you can survive 10 rounds in lava.
That's only for brief immersion/spells/monster attacks you nitwit. You can't just stand in hot lava and live. Have SOME common sense!
You can’t, but I can.
>he can't survive standing in lava
I recommend building an immunity to lava by starting out setting your self on fire
cite rule. page number etc.
Yeah, damage values that basically arr guaranteed to kill you, 5e is 10d10 when you first touch it, and every round after, this will easily kill most low to mid level PC's instantly unless the built around having as much HP as possible.
And even then they wouldn't survive the start of their next turn.

Yes.

The level 5 fighter is fricking jacked.
Looks like someone doesn't know what it means to be a great hero.
I feel sorry for you. Have some pride in yourself.
Have you tried not playing D&D?
Yes, if you engineer specifically absurd scenarios that most players will never encounter, including fluffing it to be as ridiculous as possible, since it can be fluffed as him slowing down his fall and breaking it at the last second and getting away with broken bones, you can make it sound absurd.
Congrats, no one gives a shit.
Why do autistic morons want realism in fantasy yet continue to play D&D?
from 2E... while 100' fall is only 10d6 and could fail to hit the 50 point trigger, one could mod the rule to include any single source of damage that inflicts > 50% or 75% of one's total HP.
>he doesn't know
You're telling me that any level 1 character can shoot fire out of their hands by taking this one weird feat?
Imagine a world in which everyone is born mortal, but has the potential, if they perform enough epic adventures and Samson like Trails, to become demigods like in the Greek myths. That's the D&D game. If you are trying to do a combat game based on real life, you need to play a different game.
