Like 1st level PCs are _far_ more likely to die in 5E than any other level of PC, even though you'd expect the stakes/danger to increase or stay level as you face more dangerous monsters, not decrease. Once you hit 3rd-4th+ level, the "one shot" factor largely disappears though. 2nd level moon druids are terribly tough / hp efficient when wild shape comes online, sometimes briefly breaking games until the group realizes what's going on. Little mathematical bumps in the road that may please groups, or drive them nuts.</blockquote>
