Calico Jesse

I have determined the best way to make a universal monster danger rating, regardless of system.

You calculate how many peasants it takes to kill the creature.

Peasant Rating? Peasant Threshold?

Will need to run some numbers. For science.

What about monsters that are invulnerable to peasant attacks?
Show threadCalico JesseMar 6
@rdm we might need to measure how many they can kill in 10 minutes or some fixed time.

@deinol
That seems legit.

Sort of an LD50.

@deinol Are we talking concurrent peasants? Or in sequence? Or ppr (peasants per round)?

Imho concurrent makes most sense, but the other methods sound fun... I mean important scientific metrics too

@deinol What if the peasants join the creature?

The most dangerous monster is Revolutionary Socialism.

@deinol So a Gargoyle or any other "magic to hit" monster is infinite peasants.

@mdhughes

Yes, I think we determined it’s how many to kill it OR how many it can kill in ten minutes.

gotta measure how many peasants until they get it under a net. no? [email protected] @mdhughes

@mdhughes Ok? wait! Thinking.

Trogdor isn't going to get killed or trapped, but has a relatively low Peasants Per Round. A D&D Dragon might have their wings damaged and then get swarmed but a way higher Peasants Per Round. Cthulhu is going to devour 1d6 peasants per round but also drive most of them mad, but never die! A gargoyle will do lots of damage until nets can be made. The Dragon above will be invulnerable until the peasants get crossbows. What if one of the peasants is Farmer Giles Of Ham?!

@deinol we'll need a full PR campaign, to get the word out.

I shall stop now, but I am amused by the peasants knowing they are involved in developing the rating.

@Printdevil @malin that is quite amusing.

@deinol Oh, interesting.
