Get knocked out and down? Sure, happens frequently but die outright? Why was your wizard being critted by a greataxe? What the hell were your players doing?And if your players are so incompetent and/or don't care about helping each other than what were you, the DM doing? Low level should be scary. A bugbear should be a big deal, that's part of the enjoyment. Making low levels weak and swingy/extreme emphasizes the growth of the characters as they level. It does a MUCH better job than 4Es perfectly even treadmill which has absolutely no relative value. Each level feels identical in 4E. Do NOT want to see this in 5E.Would I still support the edition even if it follows 4E in this way? Yes depending on everything else. But I do not at all prefer that style and think it diminishes part of the experience. If you want to be stronger when you start playing, Start at level 3-5. Very simple.</blockquote>
