→why do all nukes across dnd seem to top out at about 20 dice of damage?
:20d is common for a practical purpose, you can only roll so many die IRL before you must break out a digital dice roller or it takes forever to count up. The other is that 20 shows up a lot and its nice to keep the pattern. Of course the biggest thing is that, at least for the closer ranges, the threat isn't a ton of dice, it's instant atomization. The dice are if you succeed. Seeing that most objects automatically fail their saves, the castle will not be standing around any time soon.
:As for the 5%, they could survive the instant death but will surely die to the damage unless they were lucky enough to be Braveman the PC Class and had levels, and even then the negative levels will probably get them. And if it doesn't, they get to enjoy wandering the burning, oxygen deprived, radioactive crater while blind deaf and on fire. In short, no one will survive close up unless they're some kind of badass, and lucky. Anyway, who uses a nuke to kill some adventurers? This is for removing cities (and Godzilla) off the map. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 20:37, 10 February 2018 (MST)
