[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 8269957, member: 6696971"] I mean, long story shot (too late)... 5e Team PC is going to EAT THAT ENCOUNTER FOR BREAKFAST. Its not going to be particularly threatening to them. In fact, the overall scenario is MUCH more dangerous/threatening for Blades in the Dark Crews/PCs. Things turn to a fight in that scenario for 5e Team PC they just pull out the LOL BIG GUNS and obliterate the enemy. Things turn to a fight in that scenario for the Blades Crew and they are in deep trouble. Op-threatening (at minimum) kind of trouble. But (a) that is by design and (b) the reality is that the decision-point menu, the cognitive workload, the resources that can be martialed on a per PC basis is entirely different between Team PC in 5e and a Blades Crew. And a Blades Crew is fundamentally going to be able to perform all kinds of successful Ops in ways that that Team PC in 5e just won't be able to consistently pull off (and consistency is everything...because if Team PC faces an obstacle in 5e and that approach sucks 8/10 times...that gets removed from the menu)...or at least won't be able to pull off without pulling out the big Wizard/Bard/Cleric Spell guns (which...again...is an entirely different play aesthetic).
