[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6867305, member: 463"] I guess you're encountering small bunched-up groups of 20 hp foes? :) I've definitely not found this to be an issue with 5e; tough enemies have too many hp to be taken out by one area-effect spell, and my high level 5e group have encounters with hundreds of weak enemies - the Cleric's area spells & Turn Undead destroy dozens, but I've been resolving combat 10 rounds at a time, and the Barbarians are slaying 15-20 foes a (Raging) minute, likewise. I have found it an issue in my Classic game, but mostly because my son's MU 11 (12 w Ioun stone) Count William and allied dragons have been adventuring alongside 7th level Fighters who have lots of hp but are doing ca 1d8+6 on a hit when William and the dragons are doing 36 points of area effect, enough to kill Classic hill giants.
