So I overkilled a Gnoll last session.
Me: Paladin bard lvl 3, AC of 19.
Gnoll: has 23hp left.
Me: rolls Nat20 with radiant whip, rolls Max damage of 9 (+5 mod) doubled is 18. I decide to roll my Devine smite as well. 2d8 max damage of 16.
Gnoll: knows it’s about to die.
Me: Deals 34 points in damage 16 of which is radiant.
Dm: How do you want to do this?
Me: surprise me.
Dm: Your whip cracks, wrapping around the Gnoll’s neck. You hear a strange snapping sound and with a final pull of your whip you decapitate the Gnoll, a spray of crimson flying through the air.
Gnoll: dead, so very very dead, missing it’s head and at negative 11hp.
Me: ...Huh. Didn’t know I could decapitate someone with a whip. Let’s do it again!
