    Funny meme but I think people( and DnD) fail to realize how dangerous a sling is. Just a regular one can cave in metal, let alone human bone.

      Plus it didn’t kill Goliath but stunned him. David then cut his head off.

      So, you know, those who fall by the sling die by the sword

      Most weapons can kill in one hit IRL if used right. In D&D, 1d4 is both the damage of a sling shot bullet and the HP of a commoner.

        A commoner has 1d8 hitpoints. In 3.5 their hit die was d4, but it wasn’t clear how many levels the average commoner had.

      It’s a demotivational poster, way older than Facebook. It belongs in a museum!

    Naw…

    I’m pretty sure, as far as we’re aware, that the meteor that caused the K–Pg Extinction Event was the first Nat. 20. (Taking out Goliath has nothing on taking out most of life on Earth, including the dinosaurs…)

    Actually, I think that’s a misconception.

    I think it was more “staying out of melee” than “Nat 20”.

    Would have still looked legendary to the people though.

    Goliath was the one who would have hardly stood a chance.
