[QUOTE="Dessert Nomad, post: 7523959, member: 6976536"] Your definition of 'exceedingly unlikely' is hugely, radically different than mine. Rolling a six is pretty common, if someone said 'roll a D6 each time you play a new module/adventure/major plot point/ and if you roll a six, your characters die and we start a new campaign' would you really think it 'exceedingly unlikely' that your campaign would get wiped before 10th level? If someone asked to borrow significant money and you knew there was a 1 in 6 chance that they wouldn't pay it back, would you feel confident lending it to them, since it's exceedingly unlikely they wouldn't pay you back? Also, water is wet. I'm not really sure why people make blatantly obvious statements that are irrelevant to the question asked. I asked if I was missing something about the strength of the monster vs the characters, I'm well aware that I can change anything in any module that I run that I want to, or ignore the result of a roll, or any of the other typical DM stuff, I figured that out in the 80s. That simply wasn't the question asked, and the question asked clearly implies that I'm aware that I can do that sort of thing. Good thing it wasn't, then? "Oh, you disagree with me on a factual basis, you must have just wanted to argue!" And I ratheer doubt that the people saying the 1e version of the fight is so much tougher than the 5e version have actually run both fights. Disagreeing with people and presenting numerical facts to back up your position is pretty much the opposite of trolling. [/QUOTE]
