[QUOTE="Micah Sweet, post: 9220586, member: 6747251"] But the thing is, there is a line of how much escalating damage and hp and how many and how prevalent DoaM and similar mechanics is too much and too many for an individual, and you can't expect folks to just decide that their line makes less sense than your line and come around to your point of view. For me personally, for example, I was fairly comfortable where the line was in 1e and 2e back in the day. Damage and hp escalated, but less than they have in more modern times. 3e stretched it, but I could ignore it because I still liked a lot of what I saw. I gave 4e a decent shot, but in the end if just went too far for me. 5e brought it back to a place I could handle for a while, but lately its been creeping up again. Also, my line has shifted in recent years in the opposite direction than WotC has moved it. That, and a host of other reasons, has led me to reject the current design philosophy WotC is following with their version (and it is only a version) of the game. For those who do like it, I wish them happy gaming, but I'm under no obligation to agree with their line. [/QUOTE]
