It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Grog Strongjaw, a goliath barbarian . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Keyleth tries to decide how to help and eventually casts Sunbeam at Yenk and Vorugal. She then goes into Air Elemental form and flies by Vorugal.
DM: 46 points of bludgeoning damage, reduced to 23, plus ten points of ice damage as the hooves slam into you, leaving these frozen cracks where the blood should be emanating from. It seals the wound, almost.
Player: 14, so I reduce that by 14.
DM: Correct, reduce that by 14, and then make your retaliatory strike.
Player: Great weapon master, reckless.
DM: Go for it.
Player: 26?
DM: That hits.
