minus-squaredragonshouter@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up27·5 months agoFunny meme but I think people( and DnD) fail to realize how dangerous a sling is. Just a regular one can cave in metal, let alone human bone.
minus-squareSzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·5 months agoPlus it didn’t kill Goliath but stunned him. David then cut his head off. So, you know, those who fall by the sling die by the sword
minus-squarephdepressed@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up11·5 months agoI mean dnd also puts literal daggers at 1d4. Combat systems in general fall apart if you consider reality too much. Like I killed a bunch of monsters so now I hit better makes sense. I killed a bunch of monsters so now I have more health doesn’t.

minus-squarerumschlumpel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoMost weapons can kill in one hit IRL if used right. In D&D, 1d4 is both the damage of a sling shot bullet and the HP of a commoner.
