I'm not the only one complaining about 1st level being too lethal. The Challenge rating on many of the monsters is too low. The hit points and the damage is too high.
I was a play tester for 4th edition too. Advice given at that time was ignored. Always listen to the customer and consider any negative advice as valuable in improving the product.
