[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 3978507, member: 36160"] Hey. So, funny story, I'm with you guys. I actually don't like much grim or grit in my D&D (despite frequently staging combats in abbatoirs or charnel houses. Shush, I have problems. :p), so I was more making this thread as a way of demonstrating that while, yes, D&D is moving heroic, that's really really easy to fix (to taste). Also, I like to tinker, so it was pretty much in my way :) There's some fun to be had in a system with constant churn. I wasn't throwing that out there as "Constant character death is terrible for the players!!!" -- I don't feel that way, and I didn't mean to malign anyone. I was just exploring how one could up the lethality of D&D with the minimum number of house rules for the maximum amount of payoff. But I agree, a D&D with lethal combat and long lived heroes is a D&D with fewer fights. [/QUOTE]
