Everyone wants to be tall, but they forget that Goliath went down after being hit with a pebble.
With apologies for the pedantry, the sling stone was more likely "from the size of a billiard ball to a tennis ball.โ and capable of โslightly less stopping power than a .44 magnum cartridge.โ
So yeah, being tall doesn't stop you from going down from the equivalent of being shot in the head..
Exactly. Sling yes, pebble no
To a giant, that's a pebble. ๐
most pistol bullets are pebble sized for humans
Most pistol bullets are shot from pistols, not slings.
So you're telling me that dwarfs are immune to a thrown brick?
lower centre of gravity, less chance of toppling over
You want to fall over. The more energy goes into moving you, the less energy goes into destroying you.
I mean... more than Goliath.
If you try to throw a brick at Bridget Powers, she'll fucking stab you!
