Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 371012" data-attributes="member: 277">In the 3E dumbed down thread and other, people complained that 3e is not deadly with it CR junk.This is wrong. 3E goes out of it way to provide a chance for survival and the modules go out of it way.Letting the whole party survive or not having at least 1 dead Pc has been something you no longer see in the modules. Look at White Plume and some E.G.G. comments on how deadly D&D used to be. In White Plume falling into lava sucked.But as I game from 1 to 3 the modules have became NICER. The monster matched the party power or it was well below in some 2  ed modules. Now 3E as some say is computer RPG. Because the game mind set is to match the party. Can we change?Yes we as DM’s and modules should have an Extra room or encounter. You know the room, where you know your the extra red shirt beaming down with the good ole captain.Now Forge of Fury did have CR10 creature but I have not heard anyone dying from it. Plus the module goes out of way for you to be Nice and let the party escape.Does 3e have to been combat heavy? No like the other editions the rules are set up for combat x.p. but once you get tired 5 th level party slaying 10 th level 1 st edition party. Let a 3 rd take on Cr 10 and they 5 th level.  Read the rule book and notice the alternate story award x.p. wording.You adventure writers include a bad nasty in the dungeon so the party either has run away, sell the hobbit to it for a tasty snack, or die!Go for the TPK if the players are too stupid to run or don't believe the ancient green dragon would not eat the party if they attack when it want just one horse.</blockquote>
