In game play, Grim & Gritty (2.6) actually made lower level PC's harder to kill, but also made large/huge creatures truly fearsome and spellcasters formidable.  PC's were played smarter for fear of death.  The HP spiral slowed down greatly.  The halfling was almost unplayable because he was so weak, but did have some spellcasting success before death.  The Giantborn Barbarian with a Greatsword is a killing machine who is very difficult to take down.DM</blockquote>
