Fighter: I punch through the glass to kill the monster.
Me, the DM: …you want to punch through reinforced bullet-proof glass, of which the monster sprayed with acid on the other side.
Fighter: Yes.
Me: You know what? Fine. Roll for strength.
Fighter: *Rolls the first Nat20 of the campaign*
Cleric: Oh my god-
Me: Somehow, despite the fact that this glass is fucking bullet-proof, you manage to shatter it with a single punch, and you kill the monster the second your fist makes contact with its face. Congratulations.
i mean… the DM could have said the acid the monster spit made the glass weak enough to be punched through.
In shows like x files, supernatural etc. when the main characters go investigate some supernatural thing and they’re talking to some professor of the esoteric and they’re like “how would we destroy it” and the professor gets all weirded out and they say some throwaway line like “this is…just all old stories and legend…” and the main characters are like “oh yes of course”
As IF a professor teaching this stuff wouldn’t be like “in fact here is my thesis I’m writing about how to Kill God and yes I think that’d work. why? did you read something??? Do you have a link????”
