[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 9269894, member: 12731"] The other poster tried to further the inexplicable (and frankly, trolling) argument that playing with DCC level zero characters should always end up with all of them dying. This is absurd. As if regular D&D level 1 characters are [I]that[/I] much more resilient?! (If you start at level 5 or higher, and NPCs remain the same where few common humanoids you'll meet in the street have more than three hit dice) I could absolutely see this. But at level 1? No way.) Sure they are definitely stronger, but going from traditional zero-to-hero campaign to "everybody just dies, and rightly so" is just an amazing instance of having bad luck when thinking! So thanks, but I don't need actual characters. My point is that the difference is must assuredly not even close to being so big that you can argue that if you play with L0 characters - in any iteration of D&D - you all should "realistically" die, while (presumably) that's not the case for regular D&D L1 ones.
