[QUOTE="Erik42, post: 6557825, member: 6782023"] This is going off on a tangent, but I also feel like it's too hard to die in 5E. Today I was in 7 player party in an Adventurer's League game, HOTDQ. We were in a fight with a Black Dragon. Since I've been playing the adventure I haven't read it, so I don't know its age or size or stats, but I think a group of 5th level characters should not be able to kill any but the youngest, smallest of dragons. Not only did we kill it, but there were no deaths. A lot of characters got knocked out - after taking ridiculous damage. 50, 60, 70 points from an acid bath? No problem, I'm a mighty 5th level warlock with 36 hp. I don't like dying and I don't like killing characters, but there should at least be enough of a fear of death to...I don't know, sounds like my problem. I came up with dragons being something that only a high level character would consider tackling - I guess I need to re-calibrate the way I gauge things in 5E. So that's my tangential rant. Thanks for listening :) [/QUOTE]
