[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6002446, member: 87792"] Congratulations. You have just said that the party vs dragon fight should not exist in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Can I just check this is what you meant? And this is me asserting my belief that I and most other DMs I know would literally rather gnaw off our own right arms than work under the system you prefer with having to custom-craft almost all monsters based on a half-finished monster-manual. We have jobs, we have lives, and we have other hobbies - and some of the burned-out 3.X DMs I know spent at least a dozen hours preparing per session at mid level and have described it as a full time job. If you have your way there is no way in hell I am running 5e - and I appear to have just started at least one and possibly two 5e campaigns given how successful my recent playtests were. 3.X was the outlier here - and even the Pathfinder players mitigate it by running a lot of pre-made adventure paths that actually have fully formed monsters. If you want the naturalistic philosophy, GURPS does it much better than D&D. And get torn apart by the action economy. Especially e.g. Liches. This. [/QUOTE]
