But I find that combat is generally the least interesting part of my games. At least in 5e, it is often a foregone conclusion that the PCs will win nearly every encounter. The failure rate is down near 5% or below. That means that the majority of combats end up a lot of waiting for other people to take their turns for something that has very low stakes. I'd rather emphasize the other parts of the game--who do we engage in combat, what long term plans are we making, who are we allying with, what goals do we want to accomplish. And then I want combats that can get out of the way quickly, so we can get back to the real game.</blockquote>
