[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 5797588, member: 32740"] On the other hand. I think this sort of thing should have been done as far back as 2E so it wouldn't have been an issue in 3E. However, the statement CANNOT be evaluted except in light of a number of other factors - PC hit points, monster hit points, the number and level of spells that a caster might have, the ability of PC's, NPC's and monsters to reduce or resist damage of any particular type, the ability to recover damage, the ability to recover spells, and on and on and on. Essentially, Monte's statement is UTTTERLY MEANINGLESS outside of the detailed context of the rest of the 5E ruleset in which it is implemented - and about that ruleset we know effectively nothing concrete. It CANNOT be evaluted without extensive detail of the rest of 5E. Read into it what you like, but I think it safe to say that anything you guess about one way or another will ultimately prove to be incorrect. [/QUOTE]
