[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8115646, member: 6801845"] In 4E there was a pretty explicit treadmill of expectations of what level of magic you would have by certain levels (before that I'm not sure they did any math). With 5E they assume basically no magic and expect the DM to adjust the game to match whatever threat level their group enjoyed. That does mean that for a 6 PC table that can get a long rest whenever they want, glowing with magic and above average ability scores, 5E will be "easy" if mods are not adjusted. It's all about DM empowerment and the expectation that the DM is the best person to decide what makes sense. So the game works just fine whether you use point buy, a generous rolling generation method that assures everybody is above average or 3d6 in order. It just means that the DM needs to take some initiative and responsibility to adjust the game to achieve the play experience the group wants. [/QUOTE]
