In the interest of making me a better and more informed DM and possibly sparing my PF players a TPK I'm curious what you think the deadlier elements are.I'd have to take issue with 'deadliest'. 3e is by far the deadlist (to PCs) iteration of D&D IME, except for 1st level 0e & Basic. Certainly much deadlier than AD&D or C&C.
Lots of 1E modules are full of instant-death effects. Low hit points mean more potential for swing and faster combats mean more combats and more potential for death. That was my rationale.
Also as a DM I'm much more willing to kill my C&C players than 4E/PF players since I know it would take them a lot longer to make new characters.
