[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8592591, member: 2525"] Not sure why it's an edge case. If you went down earlier and were brought back up with a healing word, you remain just as vulnerable to this happening. If you're in the thick of things to have been brought down that far to begin with, it's also more likely. As for attacking a downed target, that's common. Not sure why it wouldn't be? As you pointed out, the setting has lots of ways to bring back unconscious adventurers, so foes would naturally want to prevent that from happening by making sure PCs that go down, stay down. Just like adventurers do that with trolls and such. Of course it doesn't line up "that often." I don't recall death happening that often in any other edition either. Twice this campaign so far seems about normal for prior editions as well. In 5e? No it's not. That's not even vaguely the default in 5e. Only legendary creatures in legendary lairs tend to be solo creatures in 5e by default. Where did you get that impression? None of the rules I can recall encourage solo creatures. None of the published adventures focus on solos either. The default 5e is built on more monsters, not solo monsters. Right, and that's the same for all editions, right? We resurrected people back in 1e even. I have no idea why you think it's unlikely. Can you explain? Do your DMs not attack downed PCs? [/QUOTE]
