    @@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong Nice. Sounds fun, but also isn't for me. For me, the more zeroes that trail after the number, the less I actually feel connected to the number. I'd rather a hit of 13 be a kill than a hit of 130. If, for some reason, I was ever in a system where I needed the precision that having a hit multiplied by 10 would need, I'd rather use decimals. The math isn't any more difficult, but it's mentally easier for me to calculate percentages and how much I should worry when I get hit for 12.6 out of 16 hp rather than 126 out of 160. It's a subjective thing, but that's how it is for me. For me, if I am getting big numbers involved, it's gotta scale proportionately. i.e. 100 damage should be worth ten times 10 damage rather than be effectively the same but scaled by 10 for big numbers. It's one of the things that makes me prefer the original Final Fantasy NES games to the remakes besides the aesthetics and nostalgia. It's very much a "to each their own" and I wouldn't have a problem playing in a system like that if that's what my friend group wanted to play. But no, when I hear "AC of 460" or something dumb like that, I absolutely intend for the player to just dip their hands in a bucket full of d20s and drop them on the table. Otherwise, I don't see much point unless you're in a really wacky system where you do something like roll a d20 and then roll a d100 for your multiplier. Which could work, but would also probably frustrate me as a player until I was used to it. Whereas just dumping a bunch of dice on the table is funny and gives a perk for owning that many math rocks. The key would be to not do it too often lest counting the dice take up half the session and get on everyone's nerves. I'm interested to hear a bit more about the system that your friends run though.

    For the record, the word "villain" (as in "a doer of evil") is an evolution of "villein" (a serf). In-between was a period where "villain" was used as a general insult ("you are poor/icky, but not necessarily evil"). If you read Shakespeare, you'll see character casually call servants and stuff "villain" because the word meant "low class" but did not yet mean "evil" in his day.

    Interesting how languages and cultures that are close together tend to follow close evolutions in meaning, as do words that look somewhat close to each other. We got pretty much the exact same thing in french, any word derived from latin "vilis" (cheap) like "vil" (vile) got from there to downright "ugly, poor-value" and on to "moraly wrong, repulsive". Which is not very different from the way the meaning of villain evolved in both english and french, even if current french "villain" is closer to "nasty" than to current english "villain". And all this despite the fact "villain" evolved from a completely different latin word originaly : "villa" (farmhouse). In parallel, "vaurien" (lit. worth nothing) for a worthless person, is actually a term that carries more favorable meaning today than it did back-then, though it's use has gotten pretty rare. Now I wonder if the same happened to some similar english designation like maybe rascal ?

The main Latin Bible translation is known as the "Vulgate" because it was in the common language so that normal Romans could read it. But over time, vulgar shifted to mean "dirty", "profane" or "gross/bad but not exactly evil", and is nowadays mostly associated with swearing. I can't think of a word that has gone from bad to good off the top of my head, other than that "bad" itself sometimes gets used as a positive in slang.

    3:47 Pretty sure this is the etymological origin of "villain" meaning "evil person". Basically, it came from the Latin term "villainus", meaning a worker bound to the soil of a particular villa, which then evolved into the Old French "villain", then the Middle English "villein", a person with status lower than that of a knight, which came to imply a lack of chivalry and politeness, and therefore being uncouth of mind and mannerisms, which, thanks to the wealthy using it as a pejorative for the lower class, mutated into the idea of a deliberate scoundrel.

    Or, if you knew it was gonna be somewhere, you do some prep. You need a wizard to cast a glyph of warding with the spell Cloudkill, the a second wizard to ready their action to cast forcecage (choosing the solid option), then the first wizard readies their action to cast Invulnerability. Then you need a fighter with Polearm Master and Sentinal. Then the fighter needs to stand in the way of the Da hard wun, as it enters the fighter’s space they use their reaction to AoO and, assuming they hit, the Da hard wun’s speed drops to zero, then the forcecage goes up so the Da hard one can’t leave, the cloudkill activates and the wizard who set up the cloudkill casts their Invulnerability so they take no damage. Then just let it die.

The truth is his undeath keeps him from going anywhere with much light, and in darkness he has heavy resistance to everything, so no one can do much to him and any who try just get debilitating wounds for their efforts. As for the maniacal laugh, it's actually hysterical crying without the ability to cry and with a skeletal face.

    I remember making a monster for my players with that idea of each time it gets hit the ac bumps and it was really cool! The way I described it was when this monster that was rotting would get hit, it'd knock off chunks of flesh leaving just bone and organs underneath. Really disgusting but a really fun encounter. The next time they encountered them, they were in groups of other enemies. They started focusing their biggest hits on those specifically to get as much damage out on it before it's AC rose. And when the enemy's AC got too high, they started getting creative with the ways to eliminate them. Hitting them with things that bypass AC, pushing them off of ledges so fall damage could finish the job, etc. Inadvertently made my players more creative in combat encounters and really made the game more fun!
