Message: <blockquote data-quote="WhosDaDungeonMaster" data-source="post: 7521101">The biggest factor is the super high HP for everything I guess. In the case of the ogre, for instance, HP is triple what it was before. Despite their lower AC compared to 1E, they are much more dangerous. Having lots of HP and taking hit after hit reminds me too much of video games. What can I say, it is a gut reaction and usually for me, first impressions are correct LOL.I guess that will always be a matter of opinion and playing style. For my games, 1E with some 2E (mainly proficiencies) thrown in was always balanced and enjoyable for myself and my players. When 3E came out and the D20 system in general, min/maxing when rampant! It was so ridiculous, it stopped being funny...I will probably use the grittier options in the DMG for my 5E since I prefer the older-style of play.</blockquote>
