[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9420896, member: 5889"] I will agree that part of my issue with WOTC monster design is (especially at high levels) is their assumptions about party competencies. Now personally I have no issues with assuming "newbie" status at low levels. A lot of players at those levels are new to the game or new to their characters...and so yeah you want to be a bit more softball. But to me, if your playing 15+ level dnd.....then you better bring it. This isn't amateur hour, you should have a good understanding of dnd, and likely have played your character for a while. Now sure people do a 20th level one shot for fun, but that shouldn't be the assumed norm. And further, high level dnd has tons of ways to correct for mistakes. If your party messed up and someone died, ressurection is SUPER EASY. I mean hell if the party TPKs, they probably have an in with a god at that level anyway so maybe they get sent back "just because". So that is my philosophical disagreement. I think WOTC designs both low and high level monsters with casual groups in mind, and I don't agree with that. [/QUOTE]
