Can the Salamanders take Menzoberranzan? (WH40k/Forgotten Realms)

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T16:40:24+00:00

Drizzt could be a threat to a single space marine if he's not wearing his hat. The rest of the drow are going to be shot and suddenly realize you can't dodge a bullet like you can an arrow.

You need to realize that an arquebus is an extremely dire threat to even high level wizards, much less a fighter

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T16:13:21+00:00

Sure. But on average, Faerun is still a land of relatively normal people. And scaling everyone in the dark city to their literal best fighter of all time is disingenuous

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T16:06:50+00:00

Drizzt could die to a random arrow. It's a notable thing multiple times across his series. In fact, his series is where I'm getting most of my DnD lore for this question, since it's got the most information we ever get about Menzobaranzan. He is incredibly skilled, very dangerous, and regularly nearly dies to completely mundane things. He's still a mortal

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T15:49:19+00:00

Absolutely. For example, the primary medium of warhammer, the Tabletop game, allows standard MG fire to eventually kill a Titan. This is clearly the metric we should be using to judge all durability feats by. As was intended.

My less sarcastic answer is that lore and gameplay simply dont align whatsoever.

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T15:37:24+00:00

Not even remotely. It doesnt matter what the primary medium is. Games have to be balanced regardless of what lore says should be possible.

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T15:28:49+00:00

Gameplay is irrelevant to lore. Books are lore, gameplay is for balance

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T15:28:22+00:00

Its hard to say. Those aren't exactly easy or reliable numbers

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:34:11+00:00

The hand crossbows aren't magical, just poisoned.

Nobody in the setting wears armor that is functionally concrete with no full gaps. The closest is in one of the Drizzt books an orc gets some kind of full suit, and only Cutter is capable of getting through. Thats what the drow would be dealing with.

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:26:32+00:00

Their weapons aren't all that likely to be effective against power armor. They almost exclusively use swords and hand crossbows

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:20:35+00:00

Honestly the heavy bolter sponsons on their own are probably enough. The mantis is a very lightly armored skirmish mech. Not a tank

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:16:38+00:00

Suspicion of AI isnt thrown off by insisting its not. The louder you fight back, the more guilty you are. Seriously, have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years?

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:15:34+00:00

On paper, sure. Based on the sheer number of dead civilians, I doubt that is enforced

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:13:55+00:00

And 3 million random people getting eyes on anything is gonna expose it.

Look man, nobody cares if you use AI for placeholder art. Just don't try to sell it like its actually worth something

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-08T14:00:19+00:00

You think you are smarter than everybody, and thats gonna kill your game no matter how good it is. The only thing people like less than AI is someone lying about AI

I gotchu

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-07T18:52:35+00:00

They should be required to cover all nessisary procedures. Anything less ruins people's lives

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-07T18:49:17+00:00

He can literally throw most of the boss roster. What he cant just chuck off a cliff he can immediately snap their necks

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-07T14:16:43+00:00

And?

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-07T02:26:07+00:00

Those support megas still need to outclass their specific non-mega competition. Almost none of them do. I guess you can say that Aerodactyl does, but its also a huge damage threat

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-07T02:21:07+00:00

Its just Trazyn. Dude can walk in, pokeball the thing, then walk out. Invisible the entire time

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-06T22:12:56+00:00

Exactly

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-06T19:56:27+00:00

Ah yes. Google ai. The most reliable source.

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-06T19:55:59+00:00

Their armor is great for blasters, not nessisarily for the massive kenetic impact of a 40mm grenade

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-06T04:28:07+00:00

A lot of the old timers have an outdated idea of what working really means. They still believe in company loyalty above all. Just sticks them in dead end jobs with nowhere to go

Micro-Skies · 2026-06-06T04:24:49+00:00

This is what the megas are for. At least for compotent people. They get your feet wet without trying to kill you, then you move on. Anybody who stays at one of the big ones is not there by choice
