[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 5838048, member: 2804"] There are many assumptions in this thread for people's preferred playstyle. I've never felt it heroic that level 1 parties are expected to gang up on and slaughter lone orcs and kobolds. Even at level 1, a fighter PC should be able to duel and defeat a monster of equal level by themselves [I]at least [/I] 75% of the time. A 1st level party should be able to explore a small 10 room dungeon facing about 5 encounters before needing to camp or rest. Not every encounter has to be a 4e style big tactical battle. But I don't want it to be lone kobolds and single orcs room after room either. That means that the party needs to be durable enough that even at level 1 they can potentially take on multiple foes of their level in a single battle and be reasonably expected to come out on top, and after resting momentarily they should be able to recover, or still have enough resources to be able to do that 2-4 more times before they need to camp.
