How tough are zombies?

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

How tough are zombies?

Unread post by ghost2020 »

Just curious...how tough are the zombies?

I fear that they're going to be high AR, and something like 200 SDC or something ridiculous like that.

They should be easily blown away. (More or less).


I fear the same thing for the Heroes Unlimited Demon book that all the demons will be these super high SDC/HP monsters and just tough to combat in a mob.

Do we know that the zombies don't heal? And, to assume the natural function of muscles breaking down from exertion when we are referring to an unnatural fictional creature is not a good assumption. The muscles are no longer being supplied energy from blood and using oxygen to break it down. So I don’t think they would fatigue in anyway.

Lucky wrote:one hand, they have access to the full use of their muscles without the natural human safeguards of pain or fatigue. This means they can seem stronger, faster and untireable to a point.


I think this a good explanation for at least part of the zombies strength. But I think there may be an additional zombie element that we just can’t explain.

Just my 2 cents.

I hope they are tough to kill unless you know how. Put a little learning curve in there and make it dangerous to mess up. If only a significant blow to the head or destroying them by fire kills them, then you better get it right the first time every time or your in trouble.

Maybe you were thinking of Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy as Zombies.....
