The problem we have is that we evolved to use tools, and no longer have a strong bite or crushing strength. Monkeys still can inflict deep damage with fangs. Ducks have short talons but would suffer similar damage from a kick as we would from a punch from a gorilla. This was posited as the...

I don't think I would lose to 100 ducks.

Do you believe you would lose to 100 ducks?

While this is true, I don't think you can get the necessary weight correctly distributed to kill the gorilla. They have the strength of like 8 men. Even when heavily exhausted, it's bite would be fatal, and it'd be able to harm the humans. I don't think the humans can effectively harm it...

Even if you dogpile it, average men lack the strength to suffocate a gorilla. They're built differently than humans, you can't strangle it, and you aren't going to be able to smother it without losing a hand, allowing it to breathe again. Small cuts won't kill it fast enough. You have 2...

In a fight to the death, I ask you, how do you intend to kill the gorilla. Gouging the eyes out is very difficult on a gorilla. They're backset, it has extraordinarily strong neck muscles (meaning restraining the head, even when exhausted is nearly impossible), and it's bite is twice that of a...

A gorilla, an average gorilla, would lose, easily. The question was a silverback, which is a prime male gorilla who fights other gorillas regularly to keep control of a harem. This is a gorilla who is familiar with fighting not only other gorillas in single combat, but fighting other threats...

The question to consider asking yourself is if you think 10 average men could beat mike tyson in a fight in his prime without weapons. If you think the average men would lose, then there is no shot the men can beat a silverback.

The way I've been handling it is that dwarves have cities situated near mountains, but can operate underground for long periods of time. You can't have a one way in one way out fortress. You can have a bunch of tunnels going to a centralized space with exits on all sides of the mountain in...

I think everyone here has read a bit too much power fantasy. This isn't a situation where, once exhausted you can even kill the gorilla. How do you propose the men kill the gorilla? They can, at most, blind it. Our teeth can maybe MAYBE do some damage to their muscles. That'd be the humans...

Just so everyone is aware, silverback gorillas aren't just a species, it refers to the largest male troop leader gorilla. They only get to that position by defeating other gorillas. A silverback gorilla can lift 800+ kg (1700+ pounds). Even if the men dogpilled it, it would be able to...

I tried it twice for D&D campaigns I worked on, and it was brutal and not worth it. I only dig into it if I need to. The good news for a LitRPG is that you have a lot more flexibility in what needs to exist.

Incomplete as in you aren't skilled enough as an author to do everything peripherally that an author should do. It shows that you probably don't have a good grasp on being an author, and that could indicate other quality issues in writing. It's like if you went to a mechanic's shop, and all...

To expand on this, there are people here on the forums who will say "I actively avoid reading anything with an AI cover." These people are the vast minority, and assuming everything else about your story is sound, you'll get far more readers with an AI cover than with no cover. I wrote an...

It applies to informal and some formal situations. If readers complain about grammar, they mean bad grammar. This is 100% correct. When readers complain about flow, ease of reading, or even sometimes pacing, they often actually mean grammar formality. I break grammar rules all the time, from...

I'll come at this from a different angle that will frustrate non-native speakers even more. There are 2 versions of English. British English and American English. There are grammar differences between them. Grammar, in essence, are the 'rules' that determine the flow of the language. There...

I'm working on a project that does this. The trick isn't to have it write the whole prompt. It's to know what goes into a good prompt and ask it the right questions to get the answers. That project is on the backburner because I have 2 other projects that have deadlines coming up though...

You don't need to have all of it planned out, and you can wrap the system around the plot, that's fine. You just need to have a mental map of what checkpoints are important along the way, and where you want the characters to be by then. In practice, it is something like writing two plotlines...

This is a good leaping off point. I would advise putting some additional thought into the concrete numbers, and what progression is going to look like over time. Right now, it sounds to be a non-traditional LitRPG, which is fine just something to be conscious of. I'm not opposed to it, my...
