I'll explain it later. Just gotta conclude some match-ups
If I recall, the regen only applies to the heads and if she can somehow decapitate all the heads at once, it'll die
Okay, but I feel like the Hydra might unironically outskill her because it has Martial Arts and she doesn't despite the intelligence gap.
I mean, that'll just help. She does have very good dodge feats against giant directed explosions so at least it has that to make up for that
The martial arts is based on their bite attack. They are particularly adept at biting way smaller opponents than themselves. However, as a CR 12 creature, it can take on a group of four comparable adventurers, some which by that point can have access to extraordinary intelligence feats, both in combat and strategic planning (the fighter and wizard classes), and people with a truly insane variety of spells and equipment at their disposal.
Huh, should I give that to her? Because the thing is, Lizardy does have a similar weakness in which if a large portion of her detached body is destroyed in a short period of time, she will get knocked out so seeing a regenerating opponent might prompt her to try it out
High 8-C base hydra (first key) is 2.25 tons while Tokage is 2.7
This is incorrect. At least, the way it is stated.
This is also incorrect. The Hydra that's fighting here is the 12-headed Hydra, who possesses the feat that grants them martial arts.
and the fact that Tokage can slam dozens of 2.7 Ton Attacks into it at an incredibly high rate?
It really won't. That ability is nothing new. The typical Monk already can do it via their multiattack (correcion: the ability is called Flurry of Blows) ability. The Hydra can fight them and at the same time other 3 people simultaneously, and still can go on top. She's alone here.
There is a difference between the monks limited amount of fists and the max 48 pieces tokage can hit with.
"To make it the strongest possible thing"
Lol yeah
yeah I genuinely thought it was cr 11 big L
Yeah makes sense (I never know how to properly translate the saves in DND, sometimes you get a nat 20 and obliterate an enemy and against the same enemy you get a nat 1 and break your hand)
Maybe? again dont know how to translate abilities and stuff
Here we take the average roll of 10. Since the take 10 mechanic is canonical, and also eliminates the random chances. By eliminating the roll factor, the number that's left behind becomes a layer of resistance.
Adventurers and monsters can keep on fighting at top condition even when suffering mutilation. In fact, it is noted in the manuals that until an adventurer falls into a death saving throw, it will continue to adventure as usual (until actual exhaustion, which takes entire days depending on their constitution score on a 1-to-1 basis).
Although, this rule only apply to skill checks, and technically does not exist for the current editions.
To be fair, current DnD does not expand into mutilation too much; former editions, however, consider broken bones, bleeding and severed limbs/heads a possibility, and one adventures wouldn't fare well in these conditions.
Can she even cut the head, she seems to mainly pummel the enemy with body parts
Meh, it's still the statistical average of a d20 dice which is what you roll for most stuff so
Without bladed weapons, she hardly can, but I doubt she would even try.
Then, that would be the current accepted standard, not the "take 10/20" rule from the game.
I used it as an example on why the standard got accepted in the first place.
