[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8747748, member: 93670"] That's kind of the point though, in d&d5e death is the only consequence and crits were one of the big ways for that to [I]possibly[/I] be a risk. [USER=12731]@CapnZapp[/USER]'s post you were quoting when fate's death hurdle was was raised talked about the importance of the heroes being able to feel risk The death comparison becomes questionable & maybe even misleading without system knowledge because there are numerous other risks that come into play for the heroes before the possible death. I'm neutral on the crit changes because we don't yet know any details on the monster changes they are supposed to make room for. It could very well be that the other side of this coin turns out to be a great thing but it's a change that objectively does a lot to reduce if not eliminate the mere possibility of a PC being exposed to what is d&d's only real risk the heroes can face. That elimination makes the need to have some other forms of risk into more pressing need for many. [/QUOTE]
