The point was that I was low-balling the results, intentionally going for extremely easy combats rather than brutally difficult (which everything I've ever seen about 5e indicates 90%+ of DMs favor brutally-difficult combats, both my personal experiences and what I read on this forum and elsewhere), intentionally under-estimating the amount of HP the PCs need to restore, intentionally over-estimating how much HP they'd get from HD, etc.I took essentially every possible assumption I could in favor of this explanation, and the math still come up unfavorably.Not interested in engaging with you on this a fourth time in the same thread. I know where you stand. You know where I stand. It hasn't changed.Whether there is or isn't isn't relevant. The point was the claim that(1) Parties can acquire an amount of healing potions which make them functionally unlimited by level 5(2) The listed quantity (30-ish) is in fact an amount that would make them functionally unlimited for most groupsI believe I have conclusively shown that neither of these statements is reasonable. The first cannot be assumed because of the explicit leeway the text gives, and the initially prohibitive cost. (Perhaps by level 8, I could accept it, but 5? No, sorry, don't accept that.) The second I have mathematically shown to be a very flawed assessment, despite making assumption after assumption in its favor.</blockquote>
