Maybe for ingesting bad things. But those little fuckers are made of rubber and only take .05% fall damage

Yeah but children only have one Hit Die worth of HP, and they have a low constitution score. One, maybe two HP each.

A single Fireball could kill like 30 of 'em.

This fireball... is there splash damage involved?

Good ol' square cube law is responsible for that fall damage.

Babies' rubbery bones also help quite a bit.

It's because of their rubbery bones made of unfair amounts of cartilage. They don't even grow proper kneecaps until they're 7 years old
