I still see a busted mechanic, 1/5th damage aside, not something I'm "afraid of", but something I think would convince me not to buy the product or use the creatures involved. And no, S'mon, no one has obliged me to include anything I dislike, that was my point. Frankly, U_K, I don't care how you want to phrase your philosophy on epic play, I'd rather suffer the possibility of permanently losing 1 hp/HD or even utter death if a fight ends so badly that an epic character dies rather than anyone lose x% of HP permanently, win or lose. Calling me a chicken doesn't fix that, nor does saying anything trite like "you know the risks", or "you didn't have to get into melee with it", because all that boils down to is that you'd rather minimalize my opinion than consider that the power is a bit overmuch. If you want to instill fear in epic games, this is a shoddy corner-cut to doing so. As a final note, I'm not "scared" of your ability, I'm turned off by it and dissuaded. It's something I'd expect from a poorly designed 3rd party company. I actually had held you to higher expectations. I guess you will all have to agree to disagree with me.As a PS, I'm not at all offended at all by the "chicken" comments, as most have been accompanied by the smiley things. I do feel minimalized, though, as it seems easier to "name away" my concerns as "fear" rather than an honest balance issue... but go ahead, multiple the CR modifier from damage by 5 and we'll see if that does squat to placate the people who gets forced into armchairs over this.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
