if he's stabbed while helpless that's a coup de grace: free crit and fortitude check (DC10 plus damage to not instantly die) though this rule does not officially exist in 5e, there are unofficial rules to cover it, free crit and prompting death saves

And you gotta be careful about how you define that, if a simple grapple is all that it takes to make someone helpless those grapple builds have just turned any grappleable opponents into 1 shot chumps. Better to either explicitly separate plot wounds from normal combat wounds or only take level 0 hostages.

@@tinkerer3399 I'd home brew that because DnD character's HP pool generally shows they haven't taken a 'serious wound' yet, nothing that couldn't be addressed by bandages or a basic healing spell and all that. In this case if someone has a sword to your neck/throat I might as a DM rule not only can they attack as a reaction (burrowing from anima) but it's counted as if it's a touch attack for the purposes of AC and depending on the wound type deals a flat percentage of your overall HP based on a D20 of course. Basically, you might survive but probably shouldn't try it if you're even close to half health.

We also had a moment of "Don't daggers only do 2 damage?" but we also argue that when someone is obviously held in a helpless position any attack can be treated as a Coup de Grace. Home rulings like these are a GODSEND in games like GURPS or Shadowrun where any enemy you find yourself against is probably wearing so much armor a pistol won't even tickle him, but if you sneak up and put the gun up under his helmet, it's GOING to kill him regardless of damage.

Interesting stuff! Glad you're back! We usually considered moments when a character was being held a knife point as "coup de grace" moments. Regardless of damage it was usually understood that they were defenseless and entirely at their captors mercy. The deaths of characters on the other hand... We often had players that had watched Dragon Ball, so a slew of bad luck was seen as an opportunity to find a sage who could help us use Wish.

I hope brew that when you have someone tied up restrained(not the condition) or other wise fully incapacitated. Attacking to kill is instantly down to death saves. Like cutting someone’s throat shouldn’t be 1d4+dex and maybe sneak attack. Like damage in dnd is weird because normal people have 5 hp and a +1 to dex so it makes sense that a dagger only does 1d4. But at higher levels the damage scaling is insanely weird

I tend to resort to a much simpler and older rule - referred to on TV Tropes as the Chunky Salsa Rule. "Any situation that would reduce a character's head to the consistency of chunky salsa dip is fatal, regardless of other rules." In other words - even if the hostage NPC is a 20th level Barbarian who's unconscious from a drug or the like and unable to rage, and the villain is able to take their time and properly open up an artery, then he's bleedin' out pretty damn quick. As in I'd just set them instantly to zero HP, regardless of how much they had, with one pre-failed death save. Harsh? Probably. But it means a hostage situation with a blade already pressed to a major artery has actual stakes to it.

I remember my first character's death was in a last stand type of situation. The big bad and just retreated behind a gate that was dropped after she ran by. We were SUPPOSED to go around in order to catch up with her. Instead, my barbarian rolled a nat 20 strength check and lifted the nearly 1 ton gate of steel, if just barely. Everyone crawled through as enemies poured in to attack the barbarian which was al alone. In the end I think I killed at least 15 soliders before I kicked the bucket.

"Randomized stats are weird." Yeah, I had a lanky elf druid that could carry basically twice her weight and lift almost 4x, while still being graceful and smart as heck.

"The elven man, husband of a murdered wife and father of a banished son and murdered son, disappears into the forest to live out his days" IDK, sounds like the perfect setup for a dread necromancer. Someone who would pervert all laws of life and death, pay any price, sacrifice any last shred of sanity or humanity, just to save ONE of the loved ones he lost.

Yes, daggers deal 1d4 damage (average 3), but remember that commoners also have 1d4(+0/1) health (average 3/4). It's not implausible that even a RAW dagger strike would down/kill a commoner easily.

Man all these dramatic deaths. Times I've played it was like "Oh, cool, I get to play a new character now!" while the rest of us are like "So our characters knew that character for like... a week? Should... should we be sad?"

Recently, our campaign had a bit of a double-edged sword. While the party was exploring, we came across a fancy chest buried in the ground, which my character tripped on. With some investigation, and the aid of my character's Sword of Sharpness, we broke the locks and checked its contents: a magic jeweled goblet, and a nonmagical jade breastplate. The goblet had some illusion magic that made water look like gold, and the breastplate was solid jade; not practical as armor, but expensive. Taking those items, we then got into an encounter with a horde of raptors. After our nature specialist failed to communicate with them (and one of the other PC's used a free action to cast Magic Missile) we got into a brutal fight and were forced to run into hiding to survive. Also, most of our rations were wasted to distract the raptors. Our DM would later say, respectively, that they were one of the best and one of the worst encounters he could have rolled for us. Short Version: Found a fancy treasure chest, got ambushed by raptors and sacrificed all our food. Also, we later made 1270GP off of the treasure we found. It was a good time.

You need to reverse the order of the ‘All Puffin Animated’ playlist so it auto plays in order instead of reverse

This is what “helpless” is all about, and a reminder that HP are an abstract fighting mechanic, not life force. Having your vein opened up results in more or less instant death
