They miss some of the Pathfinder options on occasion, but mostly seem to enjoy figuring out ways to make use of their 5E abilities.My main gripes are based on DMing 5E. Creatures are very weak, especially creatures like fiends which are often big bags of hit points that the party easily carves through. It's the Bounded Accuracy effect. Just makes it too easy to do a ton of damage. The creatures don't have enough hit points to make fights interesting. They rarely get to use their abilities. If you were watching a movie with some of these 5E battles the fearsome demon or undead would jump out growling and seeming like a scary enemy, the party would kill it in six or twelve seconds leaving the audience underwhelmed. Since most of my players play this game to live out the fantasy stories they've read or watched, it makes for underwhelming battles that leave the imagination unsatisfied.</blockquote>
