    Default Weakest chars to survive the following trials

    What's the weakest chars to not only survive but be able to stay conscious/fight in each of these scenarios?

    Scenario 1: Captain America throwing his shield as hard as possible at their head/weakpoint

    Scenario 2: Killy from BLAME! shooting them

    Scenario 3: Wolverine stabbing the being in their weakspot/head with all his might

    Scenario 4: Pain from Naruto unleashing his ultimate attack

    Scenario 5: Saitama putting everything he has into a punch

    Scenario 6: All of the above at once

    Isn’t 6. basically just 5. plus some chump change?

    It’s like “5. Who can survive having a ton of bricks dropped on them? 6. Who can survive having a ton of bricks and a small velvet glove dropped on them?”

    My usual answer in these circumstances is Butterball, but I’m not sure he has feats for Saitama-level hits. I think he’s maybe been hit by Ragnarok (Clor), but I’m not sure.

    So with that unclear, how about Kitty Pryde? Can Naruto hit intangible people?

    For those who might not be aware, being shot by Killy with the Gravitational Beam Emitter is pretty ridiculous damage. Probably the second hardest hitting thing outside of Serious Punch from Saitama.

    Also, which attack from Pain? Shinra Tensei is the big push that basically devastated Konoha and Chibaku Tensei is "gravitational forces bury you in a newly formed small moon," both powerful but kind of different kinds of damage.

    And my default answer for these sorts of things is, as ever, Adam Destine.

    I always have problems with these.

    Typhon (Creatures of Light and Darkness? Certainly not the weakest (plus Wolverine and Saitama just outright die from attacking him).

    Arrgh. Not sure. I'm better at deciding if a specific character is capable of XYZ, not 'weakest character capable of XYZ'.

    Outside of Scenario 6? Anyone with Death Ward cast on them, so any 7th level Cleric with prep.

    Looking at the description of the spell I see it negates the attack (or perhaps more accurately the damage?) and keeps the target at 1 HP. Either way does that have any upper limits?

    Like, Saitama going all out is like a continental or possibly planetary threat hitting. The GBE hits with wildly beyond nuke level damage in a concentrated beam. Does the spell work if you are like reduced to a stain or something?

    No it's kind of broken actually.

    In the event you take damage that would kill you (reduce your HP to 0) it instead allows you to survive with 1 HP. And they've been quite firm on "any damage" AFAIK.

    A massively stronger spell can't override it, and desintigrating doesn't liquefy you.

    Of course it only works for one instance of damage before it needs to be recast so... a followup shot or two quick hits would murderize.

    EDIT; that said a dm could be like "okay nah that's.. you totally die. But as the spell's intended to work, it's kinda boosted.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Yeah, you could seriously have someone on 1 HP cast Death Ward, have an opposing wizard cast Meteor Storm at max damage, and lolnope.

    I guess you could argue its upper limit is not affecting reality manipulation. Wish and Divine Intervention are still going to ruin his day.

    Hmmm...

    Okay, and I appreciate this might be stretching the rules of DnD a bit here, but what about the implications of the hit?

    Like, say Saitama hits you full on in an uppercut. Death Ward protects you from the effects of your jaw and skull being reduced to a gaseous form but does that cancel the momentum gained from being hit? Are you at 1 HP but rapidly heading toward edge of the Solar System? Or would it be total cancellation of all effects?

    I mean, he's hardly the weakest.

    Obliterating buildings is quite weak for the later rounds, i think he could fit.

    I was going to say Aries after she did one of her "Prevent all damage" moves, but looking at it closer I realized all of it was Normal or Fighting damage. Thus Shedinja (or any Pokemon Ghost really, but Shedinja is by many metrics the weakest and also has some coverage if you argue Wolverine's claws should count as steel type or something) can take it all with no problem.

    What does a weaponised beam of hyper concentrated gravity class as? Because that's in the mix.
