Do you think 5e is deadly enough and do you finish off downed characters?

[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8414180, member: 6855114"] The game is deadly enough with alternate rest rule where HP are not recovered overnight. And I will finish off fallen characters but only in a few conditions. 1) The whack a mole has been started. A fallen character has been healed back up and fights. Intelligent villains will finish off fallen character as they would a troll. Two to three hits just to be sure. 2) The enemies are aware of the group's tactics and powers and knows that a fallen character can get back up fast. Intelligent enemies will not hesitate to take a fallen character hostage. 3) The opponent is an animal or has animal like instincts. It will get away with a fallen character if it can get away with the body. A wyvern will fly away, a manticore will do the same. Undead, however, will always finish off characters unless highly intelligent. Zombies will eat a fallen character. Specters, wraith, weights, shadows and other undead that creat other undead will make sure that a fallen character becomes one of them (or servant undead). Only intelligent undead such as a lich, a mummy lord or a full fledged vampire will act in an other way. All others will try to feast. [/QUOTE]
