* ''TabletopGame/{{Mystara}}'' has the Elfwar - a war waged against the Elves of Alfheim by over the curse of rule of not one but two kings of Darokin, a nation that surrounds Alfheim on all borders. It was a colossal humilation for Darokin, that undermined authority of the monarchy itself and kickstarted it's decline, which over the course of centuries lead to Darokin becoming a republic. The kicker? Elven history doesn't mention this war whatsoever, because the Elves didn't even realize human attacks on their forest were a part of an organized military campaign.

* In the backstory of ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'', it's mentioned that Sigil's mysterious ruler/protector/overlord, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Lady of Pain]], has killed ''gods'' in her time...and the confrontations were not the usual, cataclysmic, ground shaking clash of the titans one would expect from a duel between major powers. They were much more of the "angry Lady = dead schmuck" variety. The ''only'' entity that has ever so much as slowed her down is [[OurLichesAreDifferent Vecna]], [[TimeAbyss a millennia old liche]] and [[PhysicalGod greater god]], who was in the process of [[UpToEleven reshaping the multiverse]] at the time. Everyone else [[BoomHeadshot just dies]].

* ''TabletopGame/TheWitcherGameOfImagination'' has this stance as default toward random mooks and similar enemies and mechanics that actively support that. Characters with Poor or Average skills or stats, short of pure luck, stand almost no chance against those with Good or Excellent parameters, not to mention [[UpToEleven Legendary]]. Other than that, there are few in and out of universe examples that can turn really, ''really'' nasty:
