Low-fantasy D&D aliens?
I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I’m worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What’s the weirdest alien you’ve ever thrown at your D&D party?
Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this?
Palladium RPGs have a concept of mega-damage. It’s 100x standard hit points. So 1 md = 100 hit points. But more than that, regular damage points make no effect on MD items, vehicles, etc. Like how a very powerful character could deal 100+ damage, but if they tried that against the side of an aircraft carrier, it wouldn’t hurt it structurally. But if a tank shot it, it could damage the ship.
So there could be a lot of calculating of effects and then there’s no effect that actually applies.
Something like that.
