      Gods in D&D are pretty stupid.

      If you use the Rokugan splatbooks, you can make a fighter with that many attacks relatively easily at level 12 or so... you need to be a phoenix clan character with their special feat that basically gives you +4 void points plus +1 for every time you take that feat and for very level you have, which quickly gets silly... they have this kata that culminates in "for the next 15 minutes, you can choose to make X numbers of attacks with your maximum attack bonus, where X is the total number of void points you have." You end up exhausted and can't do anything else for 1 minute afterwards, but few things are gonna survive 25+ attacks done at your maximum attack bonus anyway, specially if you built your character right and you get all those cumulative +2 and +4 void bonuses to attack, anyway.

    8:08 One thing that drives me a little bonkers about playing D&D is how poorly weights and sizes are understood and handled by the creators. 350,000 pounds! That's only 175 short tons. That's less than the combined weight of three M1 Abrams tanks. We see objects of that weight all the time in our every day lives. Add an extra zero, and now you're up to the weight of a submarine, which feels more right for something animated by god tier magic.
    Just a mini rant of mine not directed at you, MrR. It shows up all the time in D&D gameplay where the game tries to make you care about actual weights and sizes but then it scales things in the most bizarre and unrealistic ways. As an engineer trying to balance fantasy with the numbers said fantasy wants me to actually care about, it's easy to get sucked out of the immersion.

      This tends to be an issue with basically every RPG (hell, Game) that brings actual numbers into things. With D&D it's at least somewhat understandable - you know that this kind of thing has never once even seemed like a priority to anyone allowed within a hundred yards of where any D&D sourcebook has been written. It's much, MUCH more annoying in Sci-Fi games. 40K's a pretty egregious example (apparently the U.S has more durable tanks than the Imperium did at its height) especially because they have to know their fans are the type to have obsessive knowledge of real-world military technology, but they almost get a pass for openly giving fewer fucks about anything than anyone else ever will. Actual Hard Sci-Fi, that tries to take itself relatively seriously and be as realistic as possible within the premise of its setting, though, gets this just as bad just as often. Cthulhutech's super-advanced top of the line fighter jets, from a society with perpetual motion machines and scaled-down Evangelions, couldn't break the sound barrier.

It has 150mm of armor which is significantly less than that of the T-72's that famously existed to get blown up by Abrams at any range, but the armor of the Leman Russ is made up of unknown composition. Weapons that can pierce a Leman Russ also bounce off of Terminator armor, the AVs are an abstraction, and we don't even know how powerful the weapons are really. The Bolter which can damage the rear armor of the LR is .75 caliber and fires a HE explosive at similar ballistics as a riffle. The round is only a little smaller than a 30mm grenade launcher's. It's essentially impervious to normal small arms fire (which is not a bolter, despite that being the standard weapon of 7 foot tall super soldiers wearing power armor) and resistant to all normal AT fire from the front.

    The interesting thing about this is that CR does not always help define strength. Asmodeus for instance is listed as CR32 in the BoVD, but on his own 9th layer of hell, he is all powerful. Many beings have a home plane/place of existence where they control the very fabric of reality. Against such power there are few who could survive. The infinite planes of Pandemonium are stated to react to the divine nature of beings and change their reality based on the strongest being that lives there. In those kinds of places, the list of those who can make a difference is very few.

    I remember GM'ing a heck of a long campaign (was almost 2 years long and the 5th campaign of mine) where the players had to face a CR62 "Invisible Wind" at the end (my own creation!)
    It was a Stellar-Wind Elemental with a world-sized aura of death.
    Immune to non-magical physical attacks, could become invisible and untargetable at will (the aura of death was impossible to hide, tho), and could slice planets in two by materialising as a "plate" within the planet bisecting it at the moment of materialisation.
    The players were super dismayed, but they still came up with a plan after 2 months of plotting and scheming on how to defeat it.
    They failed 😆
    They were always supposed to fail, as then they transitioned to the Astral Realm for the next installment of the campaign.
    The looks on their faces when they couldn't find any reference to this enemy (and no clues how to defeat it) was priceless - a GM's greatest asset is their imagination. 🙂

  • @SolusEmsu
    @SolusEmsu 4 роки тому +87

    So.. basically just the generic monsters from the Epic Handbook. In the same Edition, the true D&D deities listed in the book Deities and Demigods have a 'minimum' CR of around ~66 for the lesser deities such as Bahamut. It does not specify their CR but it gives the statement that, 'if forced to use a CR for a deity, a good starting baseline guide would be to take their total HD + divine rank, as a minimum." It also lists the stats for not only the "standard" (I believe Greyhawk, the one with Bahamut, Cuthbert, Pelor and such), but also 3 others for comparisons: the Asgardian, Pharaonic, and Olympian pantheons.
    In actual gameplay the deities' realistic CRs would be likely significantly higher than this gives you, but the range it does give is something around CR66 to CR87 or so for someone like Moradin or Corellon. However, there are several abilities the deities have which outstrip literally anything normal monsters can throw at them. I can tell you up front that the stats given for Cronus here would not suffice to actually *defeat* one of the actual deities listed in this book, aside from maybe one of the weaker demigods such as Hercules. A true martial deity such as Heironeus would not lose to him, though Cronus is capable of at least damage the deities with his massive weapon strength. The problem more likely is that Cronus simply would not be able to keep up with the Deities' other abilities and would lose by default.
    But honestly this is not new. Several other sources have claimed to have god-equal or god-killing power monsters and then I look at their stats against the actual deity stats and laugh. Cronus is definitely up there near it, though.
    The Hecatoncheires ultimately falls into the same trap... their lore says they can, but the actual stats do not bear this out. In particular, the entry for Thor indicates that he could literally one-round a Hecatoncheires, from up to *18 miles* away, by boomerang-throwing Mjolnir at it 4 times, because Thor with Mjolnir is absolutely ridiculous, dealing *64d8+116 = 628* raw physical damage per hit. Not per round, per *hit.* Also, Thor as a Greater Deity always rolls a 20 on attack rolls and always gets the maximum result of any die roll. He still rolls to check if he crits, but other than that everything is counted as a 20. So, he automatically hits the monster 4 times in a row without any special feats, only raw stats, and without using any of his activated deific powers aside from using Alter Size to grow to be 1600 feet tall because why wouldn't he if he were fighting one of these things?
    Of course, Thor with Mjolnir is an extreme example and even the other martial deities do not come close to his raw output with this weapon unless they were to create similarly-powerful artifact weapons for themselves... but they can certainly do so, especially with the help of someone like Boccob, who can, and I quote: "Create Magic Items: As a deity of magic, Boccob can create any type of magic item." With no GP limitation or stat limitation because he is a Greater Deity. So Boccob can literally clap his hands and create Mjolnir-level artifact weapons as if he were Edward Elric transmuting his arm-blade, and distribute them to all of the deities, if he wants to do so. With such a weapon, Boccob himself could literally slap down a Hecaton with nigh-impunity.
    The dragons, though, are awesome. I *love* Prismatic and Force dragons. Prismatics are potentially capable of getting to "Beyond Great Wyrm" and truly competing with some deities..... somewhat.

      Even the avatars of the gods during the time of troubles were in reach of all the monsters of this video (Just thinking about the battle between Bane and Torm)
      Not to mention that Mystra could just undo any construct and theoretically has the power to rob a god of his access to the weave (eventhough it is strictly forbidden for her to do that since Midnight ascended and kind of screwed over the powerbalance for a while with that power)

      @justinanderson2132 4 роки тому +93

      There are a couple of problems with that actually.
      1) Using a forcecage/wall of force to trap Hecatoncheires - forcecage has 2 versions, 20 feet barred cage (through which the water would flow and do nothing to the Hecatoncheires except making it wet) and 10 feet windowless cell that could keep the water inside, however according to the description "Creatures within the area are caught and contained unless they are too big to fit inside, in which case the spell automatically fails", a Hecatoncheires is huge size which is 16-32 feet. In either case it couldn't be used to drown a Hecatoncheires.
      If wall of force is used instead - you'd need to cast it 20-80 times to make an unroofed box which could contain a Hecatoncheires (at which point it could use fly to get out) or 24-96 times to completely encase it, which would require 24-96 casters and it would last a maximum of caster level combat rounds (Concentration check to maintain).
      2) Opening a gate to elemental plane of water - according to forcecage description "Teleportation and other forms of astral travel provide a means of escape, but the force walls or bars extend into the Ethereal Plane, blocking ethereal travel.", you can't open a gate from the elemental water plane into the forcecage. Same problem applies with wall of force as well.
      3) Drowning a Hecatoncheires - a Hecatoncheires is an abomination. What does that tell us about them needing to breathe?
      "All abominations are born directly (or indirectly) from a god and some lesser creature (or idea), but none are favored, wanted, or loved. Still, they all share a tiny spark of deific energy, which grants them the qualities described in below. (Note: deity rules are used, abominations are rank 0 deities.)"
      "All deities (even those of rank 0) are naturally immortal and cannot die from natural causes. Deities do not age, and they do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe."
      Hecatoncheires doesn't need to breathe even if the stat block doesn't mention it and therefore couldn't drown. The Zombie stat block for example doesn't say anything about them being healed by negative energy, but they are due to being undead.
      4) Even if you manage to trap the Hecatoncheires and manage to submerge it in water and ignore the fact that it doesn't need to breathe, then it can still for example summon another Hecatoncheires to kill the party, while the suffocation rules state "A character who has no air to breathe can hold her breath for 2 rounds per point of Constitution. After this period of time, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check in order to continue holding her breath. The save must be repeated each round, with the DC increasing by +1 for each previous success.", so a Hecatoncheires with a Con of 32 could hold its breath for a minimum of 64 combat rounds.
      If I was DMing the party would be very, very dead.

    I really liked the idea of the Hecatonchiries, but didn't want to throw a totally unreasonable challenge into my game, so I played around with the concept in my personal campaign setting. The gods of my world had a chained Hecatonchiries, leftover from the conflicts that created the universe. They carved off a piece of it and molded it into an assassin to send against a mad war god that had grown too powerful and was fixing to end the world in a massive magical war. The assassin killed the war god, but instead of returning the God's portfolio to the pantheon to be redistributed, it ripped it apart and cast it into the mortal world. A century later, new godlings are rising up from the places where the war god's power fell, and the assassin has manipulated my players into helping it break into the prison where the rest of the Hecatonchiries' body is, and carve off the rest of the arms and heads. Now there's a small army of Hecatonchirion spawn rolling across the country slaying gods, new and old alike. With the combined post-magical-nuclear-war setting and the literal Ragnarok happening, I've got my party playing apocalypse bingo.

I do know that scholars of latin generally consider this to be the case, with pronunciation of “Classical” latin versus “Church” latin, but the reasoning behind it is lost to me. Sorry I couldn’t clarify better! I’ll try and email Magistra McCord sometime and get back to you on this.

      @@sick0832 A lot of languages are directly derived from latin and you can get a reasonable idea by comparing sounds from those languages as well as from specific words. For example: the Romand use the 'c' exclusively as a 'k' sound and 'ae' sounded much like 'ai'. The result of this you can still find in the German word 'Kaiser' which is derived from the name 'Ceasar' as this name was adopted by the roman emperors and found its way well into the holy roman empire though the roman church and the Frankish empire. Word for word, lamguage scientists can recustruct large parts of languages.

      Depends on party level. Level 10, the party is doomed. Level 20? The Barbarian/Fighter/Frenzied Berserker with the right set of feats and magic items (Easily obtainable in 3.5) can deal just shy of 5000 damage in a single round. And cannot be killed until their frenzy runs out, which is going to take something like 10 or 12 rounds to happen. Sure, they're going to drop dead at the end of it because they're at negative one million HP or whatever, but at that level a True Res is trivial to do.
