Oh, those rascally barrels!

There could even be a possibility of coding it in a way that it takes away a set percentage of health from every Nord it hits instead of doing a set amount of damage.

This.

But isn't 80% from the strong bosses a bit too much? would make Thor or Odin a piece of cake.

Maybe if there is some way they can ignore the bosses, or take less health from them..

Yeah, just throwing a number out  there.  If this were to be implemented, the exact number would obviously be up to the developers.

For bosses, it could make sense for them to be immune to the barrel, especially the gods, but what if instead they had barrel resistance, taking half (or less) as much damage as regular Nords would?

Of course, with the set percentage rather than actual damage that is NOT repeatable, bosses and regular Nords would no longer be able to die to barrels.
