[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6635909, member: 5834"] It does. That's when bad things usually happen. In 3E we countered this with a powerful healer. I built a healer in one campaign that could cast that spell that revives the dead and could quicken a [I]heal[/I] for 150 points of damage. She could bring someone up pretty quick even if pasted with multiple crits. Sometimes the damage was too much. Then again that is what Fort armor was for and elemental form. In 5E crits aren't very bad from most creatures. So not as much to worry about. Three 20s in 5E can hurt, but doesn't always kill the majority of the time. You stated why we all scratch our head when players tell us we don't need a dedicated healer. We tried not having a dedicated healer a few times from recommendations from players on ENworld and the [I]Pathfinder[/I] boards. We built a class with healing ability like a cleric, but that would do more offense. We died a ton. So we went back to the dedicated healer waiting to get people back on their feet. We couldn't survive the battles without an optimized healer. Most of the players are paranoid about playing without a character built for healing due to our play-style. I think 5E we can get away with less healing due to how "pop up" healing functions. So far I've found the game less combat healing intensive. I hope it stays that way. [/QUOTE]
