_ Sorry, running joke with my D&D group. It went something like
DM: k...There are a lot of nice places to sit under lots of nice trees around the marketplace. There's a pretty garden and everything. With a gazebo!
Player 1: neat!
Player 2: I want to attack the gazebo. #ddsurface
The last thing I want to have to do on a space station is make a saving throw:
You try to close the airlock. Make a saving throw against your agility:
1 Botched Throw: Your bag of chips explodes and, while you float around, munching, you crash into the ant farm. You destroy years of research into ants' ability to sort tiny screws in a weightless environment.
Failed Throw: James Taylor forces you to listen to his easy listening adult contemporary music, including all of his hits from the Seventies
Successful Throw: You close the airlock door, saving the supply of Tang from being sucked into the cold pitiless vacuum of space.
19-20 Critical Hit: You find an inanimate carbon rod and wedge it in the door handle. When you get back to Earth, they throw a parade in honor of a true American hero -

"There is a clearing. In the clearing stands a gazebo"
"I shoot an arrow at the gazebo."
"The arrow hits the gazebo. The gazebo is still standing."
"Is it hurt?"
"No. The gazebo takes no damage."
"I shoot another arrow at the gazebo."
"The arrow hits. The gazebo takes no damage."
"What is it doing?"
"It's just standing there in the clearing."
"What kind of armor is the gazebo wearing? Is it wearing armor?"
"No. The gazebo is not wearing armor. It has no weapons. The gazebo is just standing there - with two arrows sticking into it."
"I cast Magic Missile at the gazebo."
"Magic missile hits the gazebo. It takes no damage." #ddsurface
