[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7511916, member: 29398"] This speaks directly to what someone mentioned a few posts upthread: non-damage monster abilities have been nerfed. A decent-sized red dragon against a low-level party? First off, if the dragon had a fear aura half the party - give or take, depending on their saving throws - would be fleeing in terror as soon as it showed up. Second off, if the dragon could just fire-blast the party through the pipes without revealing itself how did the party ever manage to get to it to kill it? As for vampires, they lost their lustre and their player-side fear factor once they stopped draining levels two at a time. Try converting a 4e adventure module and running it in 5e. 4e, for all its other issues, did turn out to be very good at staging and handling the big set-piece battle. Maybe your 5e set-pieces aren't as strong and you'll pick up some pointers? [/QUOTE]
