The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

I'm really not a fan of the cops arguing that the cyclist was partly to blame, though, and a €1000 fine is pretty damn low for breaking someone's leg and wrecking a good six months of their life.

helmets provide a flat +5 armor value, if you wear 10 helmets you are impervious to most forms of damage.

    Exactly, it's unironically the type of situation where an overly pedantic DM or player would be mocked if they tried to argue helmet armor in regards to something that only does leg damage.

    But you still take full fall damage.

    gotta make sure to punch yourself in the face as you're about to hit the ground, to give yourself some i-frames and thus cheekily negate the fall damage.

    or just outright parry the ground approaching you, dealing massive damage to the planet and even giving you some health back
