[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 7510530, member: 5889"] I think this is less poor Dming than old school dming. I have fallen into this trap a few times myself. In 3e I found overall the skill checks were more frequent and harder. I've had to get used to 5e where many things "just work". And there is nothing wrong with that. One thing I am very curious about is the notion that 5e is "deadly". I've played and Dmed 3e, 4e, and 5e....and so far I've found 5e the most marshmellow of them all once the group gets to 5-6th level. Like I am routinely throwing way over the top CR monsters at my parties and not only are they not dying....they aren't even going unconscious. One recent example. I had 5 6th level characters in a dungeon room go against 20 wights and a wraith. The wights have bows. Letting the paladin tank while the rest of the party used the doorway (ducking back behind the wall as needed)...the party mopped the whole room, with only the paladin needing some light healing. 5e characters are very very durable.
