However, 5e is specifically designed to make the PCs significantly better than commoners, and they then get even better as they gain levels. Where in AD&D, higher level characters had a better chance of succeeding on their saving throw, but the consequences were still much higher than just taking some damage. Thus, players would often alter their tactics against such things, even at high levels.This is theoretically addressed in that higher level monsters with a poisonous attack deal more poison damage, but it's still ultimately just causing a bigger chunk of hit points in damage.</blockquote>
