[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7340700, member: 92239"] I agree with this sentiment, but I'd say I'd TPK about once a module. I think the catch is knowing how you roll dice, knowing your dice and being smart about how you load your hand. If you know you have a long roll across the table then do yourself a favor and face the 20 on your D20 at the bottom of the tip of the last finger to touch the die before it leaves your hand. It's a sphere so if you make sure that you toss the die on the axis of the 20, you just doubled or tripled your chance for a crit. On magic items and assumptions in 3e, it's pretty clear that the game expects you to have at least one magic item in the party by level 3 as the first incorporeal monster in the lexicon is CR 3. Beyond this it's clear that the rules expect there to be at least one crafter in a city of a certain population size. So yes, there's some balancing there that DMs need to take into account. However, if the players meet the one crafter in the city and end up making an enemy of him, they need to move on. That said, 3e is not 5e and folks can do what they will to do what's right for their game. Just understand that the need to balance 5e exists if you go overboard. [/QUOTE]
