[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6687605, member: 7006"] What I'm reading here is that the group [i]didn't[/i] win "handily". If 4 of the 6 party members went down and 3 of the 4 NPCs were lost... that's not "handily" anything. What are you using as the definition of "handily"? That they won the fight and there were no actual deaths? More often than not... depending on the type of DM you are, you WON'T see any deaths because the odds of those unconscious PCs reaching 3 failed Death saves via rolling each round tends to be very rare. But did you have the Balor ever curbstomp any of the PCs that were unconscious? You start doing that, and those automatic failed Death saves from damage pile up right quick and you can kill characters much easier. But if you aren't the type of DM that attacks unconscious PCs, then getting to death doesn't happen that easily... not when there are all kinds of ways to stabilize PCs during combat. So if you are looking to actually kill some PCs, next time you just need to be more cutthroat about it. [/QUOTE]
