[QUOTE="Corpsetaker, post: 6864821, member: 6776548"] I want to come back in and say a few things. Lethality is not just about hit points and HD. There are many other things that exist in 2nd edition but not always in 5th. [LIST=1] [*]Magic Resistance. [*]Magic Immunities. [*]Loads of Save or Die effects. [*]Age penalties. [*]Death from massive damage. [*]Aging effects from Ghosts and other undead. [*]Elves being restricted to Resurrection only. [*]Racial level limits. [*]Weapon Speeds. [*]Resting. [*]Item saving throws. [*]etc... etc.... [/LIST] Now these things could possibly be added to 5th edition but why would I do that when there is a system that already has them?
