Massive damage
From NWN2Wiki
Massive damage is at least 50 points of damage resulting from a single attack.
If a character sustain damage so massive that a single attack deals 50 points of damage or more and it doesn't kill them outright, then they must make a DC 15 fortitude save. If the saving throw fails, they die regardless of their current hit points. This amount of damage represents a single trauma so major that it has a chance to kill even the toughest creature.
[edit] Pre-release notes
- It has not yet been revealed whether the massive damage rule will be included in NWN2.
Updated, since its been 2 years. No there is no massive damage rule in NWN2 or any of its expansions.
[edit] NWN comparison
- NWN1 originally included the massive damage rule, but it was removed when the Hordes of the Underdark expansion introduced epic levels.
