Good news, it was only Power Word Pain so. That was nice.

    For those who don’t get it

    Power Word Kill

    You utter a word of power that can compel one creature you can see within range to die instantly. If the creature you choose has 100 hit points or fewer, it dies. Otherwise, the spell has no effect.

      Easy to make misstake, but it was Power Word: Pain, not Kill.

      You speak a word of power that causes waves of intense pain to assail one creature you can see within range. If the target has 100 hit points or fewer, it is subject to crippling pain. Otherwise, the spell has no effect on it. A target is also unaffected if it is immune to being charmed.

        Thats what ended up being used yes, but the meme pretty obviously is referring to someone being scared they’re going to be Power Word: Killed

    Sorry, why did you need to math your hit points? Were you not keeping track already?

      One of my friends started doing a thing where he adds his damage together. When it’s as high as his hit point total, then he’s down. I am trying it out. So I just needed to math the subtraction. Not a lot of math but shrug.

        Makes sense. One of those “it’s easier to add than subtract” things. I probably won’t do that, but if it works for you, then that’s good.
