Line 298:
** How do you know you're Made of Iron in ''D&D''? When it becomes literally impossible for orbital reentry to kill you, you're a little bit too tough to exist. If you can then fly back out of the atmosphere and do it again for kicks? Now you've reached the level of absurdity. Some of the meanest things in the game can literally do this all day long, while on fire and immersed in acid.
** Specifically to avert this, 2nd Edition introduced a rule that required a saving roll to be made if a character took more than a certain (admittedly, quite high) amount of damage in a single attack.
* ''[[Traveller]]: The New Era'', especially compared to the more realistic wound rules in previous and subsequent editions. When you can take a blast from an [[Big Freaking Gun|FGMP]] and have a fair chance of making a full recovery, ''something is wrong''.
* Some units and characters in ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' have the special rule "Feel No Pain." They have a 50% (roll a 4 or more on a six sided dice) chance of ignoring any wounds inflicted that didn't kill them outright.
