I never had that problem since I'm stupid irl anyway.

Death saves and saving throws in general are plot armor enough baked into the system. No need to go out of your way to give them even more. Besides, sticking to the CR guidelines makes it almost impossible to kill the PCs anyway.

"Be a fan of your players" makes me roll my eyes so hard every time I hear that.

Didn't say anything about bad or good. It is what it is.

They also find absurd the idea that character death is a natural part of the game. Just look at how many Reddit threads we get every day with players complaining about their characters getting killed and even more threads with DMs asking for "help" to not TPK their parties with some published...

Twas a shadow. You die at 0 Strength. No appeal.

Why are you being so forceful, Mr. Moderator? Red text? Did I offend someone?

Honestly, we only keep debating this over and over because people insist on drawing a clear line between biology and culture when in reality, things are not that clear cut. At the end of the day, for your D&D game it doesn't really matter if your evil humanoids plunder and rape because they...

Yes, I understand you perfectly. I too like my fantasy vibrant, with well defined cultueres. Some people will inevitably end up conflating such strong characteristics on fantasy races with real world stereotypes and that's a shame. It's really frustrating because you can't even talk openly...

I have a word to those people who like to talk crap about the French: Verdun.

This sounds more like a 5e design issue than anything else tbh.

Very few setting books and quiet a few big hardcover modules that are not as useful as the older, smaller and self contained adventures.

5e can't even claim to be "well supported" if we compare it with the number of sourcebooks released for the previous editions. Also, more often than not, 5e rules lean heavily on "DM decides" anyway.

Finger of Death doesn't automatically kills the target at 0 HP.

Being vague with your action declaration usually forces the DM to call for checks to determine the results. I wish Skills were optional just like Feats and Multiclassing so I could remove them from my games at once.

My salty opinion is that they should have left the player's options out of this book to make space for unique and fun Great Wyrms.

This. Players kill because that's usually the easiest, most straightforward way to achieve their goals. Put a XP reward on top of that and the decision to kill becomes a no brainer. If you really have a problem with all the killing, you just have to offer alternative ways for the party to...

That's right. They are not interested in learning because they already have their target audience.

People who think dragonborn have tails are usually the folks who skipped 4e.
