I always thought it was because the guy rolling lightning damage which is about 1 dice per lvl was frustrated. If a monster has an average of 10 hit points per challenge rating level then at 30th level it will have 300 hit points. If a 30th level character does 3d10+(an ability modifier bonus of a max of +25) He or she could knock down that 30th level monster in under 5 rounds. I know that reducing bonuses is a goal in 5th edition but there are other stated goals. Reducing dice rolls and combat times.Furthermore, taking away toHit bonuses extends combat as there are more misses. I have been running the math of these 5th edition play-test encounters every day and noting all the misses and extended combat time. Rolling 20 dice for anything is just not a good plan. The play-test fighter gains 2d damage at 2nd and 3d damage at 3rd. He will be rolling 20d damage soon.</blockquote>
