>The world gains experience points when it kills a character

>OP gains experience points for shitposting

Why do you think wars are always followed by such huge setting changes, such as technological progress?

>The world gains experience.
>That means it gains levels.
>That means it has stats.
>That means it can be killed.

We must excise the core!

>The world gains experience points when it kills a character

>The world is a vampireeee
>sent to draiiiiin

Fair enough, I do remember that scene. It's a shame, I have a thing for old timey porn and brunettes.

>That means it can be killed.

Well of course. When the sun goes nova, I'm pretty sure we're fucked.

But what counts as the world killing someone? Natural disasters? Disease? Wild animals?

I mean by hands of player characters.

Why not all three?

>The World kills people

Already working on it.

ZA WARUDO!

I fucking hate monsters/stellar phenomena that have "death throes" mechanics. It's one thing when it's a draconian and their effects on death are the main mechanic of interest. But balors don't need that shit to be an interesting fight, and neither do stars.

THE WORLD gains experience points when it kills a character

Just play a Hulking Hurler and throw the planet into the sun.

Think of how much XP you'll get.

>a PC is killed
>the world now has enough experience to level up
>it takes a level in Bard
>musical winds start to blow women's skirts up in the street
>singing trees lure women into floraphile sexual acts
>the drum-beat sound of vibrating sand dunes makes nomad women ovulate

How do we stop this sex pest?

We don't. We thank it. I want first dibs on those ovulating nomad women, seems only fair because it was someone in my party who gave it enough XP.

Sol's not big enough to go nova, but it will go Red Giant at some point.

It's not going to catch Terra in an explosion - it's going to /eat/ this mudball.

>implying we can stop an entire planet
>implying it's not going to seduce us next
>implying we're not going to be left shallow, love-dazed shells of our former selves

I can only pray that the gods deliver my Paladin a swift and merciful death.

i'm sure it will be very interesting when your neighbor's skeletal thrall is watering his lawn

Sweet, I've always wanted to play in a Demon Souls inspired game.

HP of the earth

Each 5' square has 8 hardness and 15 HP.

So to calculate the hp of the earth, we need to have the volume. that's 2.59876×10^11 cubic miles. 1.84x10^9 miles of that are iron inner core, instead, which has hardness 10 and 30hp per inch of thickness.

That gives us 258036000000 cubic miles of rock and 1840000000 cubic miles of iron. The cubes are 6366.39 miles and 1225.385 miles on an edge. the rock has 45197490000000 squares and 403374470 inches of thickness, and thus 273,472,700,000,000,000,000,000 hp. The iron has 1674453000000 squares on a face and 77640394 inches of thickness for 3,900,155,700,000,000,000,000 hp.

Total HP of Earth: 277,372,855,700,000,000,000,000

... be sure to deal an extra 18 damage to account for the hardness per inch.

Wouldn't it be easier to just go with some Save or Die? Killing things by hitpoint damage is for scrubs.

actually the hardness of the 'Earth' is a gradual increasing as you get to the core

I know there has to be some rules for earth excavation in a system somewhere...

I'm giving it immunity to all save or die effects as it is too large/powerful

>Animate object -> The earth
>Assassin skill
>wait three turns
>Hide in Plain Sight
>Punch -> Earth
>retry until nat 20 or earth rolls nat 1

...

What if we figured a way to switch the HP between two beings.

Or what if a particularly large Lich makes the Earth into his phylactery.

>people who practice English understand manners.

>Or what if a particularly large Lich makes the Earth into his phylactery.

That's just a really powerful Druid, user.

I've done them before, I call them "Omni-Druids" for lack of a better title.

>omnidruids

Honestly not sure how to react, but it sounds amazing

Unless you play in this setting, in which case an earth sized planet is described as only having about 115,000 hp

>the golem can deal 250,000 per fist attack

What in the fuck is this. And I thought Epic Level Handbook annoyed me.

This is how James Cameron's Avatar happened.

>Level ??? Earth

...

...

>it can be killed
No shit
