Yes I did.  Unrealistic and the worst sort of melodramatic palp.  One of several inserted scenes in that script that actually worked against the grain of the story.But back to D&D.  A group RPG isn't the same as a movie. Different requirements and very different elements make it 'good'.  Scripted hack melodrama isn't one of those things.@phobos- here's the thing.  By default, you can't interrogate your defeated enemies now.  They're dead.  Automagically dead.  No prisoners, no interrogation, no trying to convince them to help you or change sides.  Just dead.   That helps contributes to the cardboard cutout feel.Again, its failing to be believable.Ouch. Between the automatic poison damage and the '20 saved us all', this sounds more bad than good.  I'd much rather see something about 'So and so's ability or clever idea saved us all' than 'a single die roll determined our fate'.</blockquote>
