...half the wearer's remaining health rounded down.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Nah, let's do rounded up, but add fatigue.

Sounds like any action move protagonist.

who tf downvoted you lmao

[–] Triyfer@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maximum, or current health? That is an important distinction which can drastically change the armor's utility.

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Current health, probably, since it's a play on one of Zeno's Paradoxes

[–] Triyfer@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Fascinating. I had never heard of these. Thanks for the enlightenment!

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 14 points 4 months ago

I kinda did that for a boss. They had to call shots and destroy body parts doing at least 25 damage a turn or it healed. Turns out level 13 5e PCs have no problem with that.

You have been poisoned.

This would be perfect for the barbarian but they can't use it lmao

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think 5e barbs can use any medium armor and be fine. Depends on edition tho.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

pathifnder 2e barbarians can use medium armor too. that looks like heavy armor though

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

The picture is full plate. So I'd assume its heavy armor.

I used to do this with boss fights until I got better at balancing for my party.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

what the hell is that number? is it a number? is it 23? 26? 28?

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I guess the technical answer would be "all of them"? It's some Dall-e 3 images muxed together, not a real game... ;-)

[–] Killing_Spark@feddit.de 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If that was a real card I would have hated the font of that 23 so hard

That's because it's obviously a 27
