You can get badly hurt from one strong strike or one strong spell at any level. At higher levels, yes you can get hit by a powerful spell or a powerful flurry of martial attacks (that can crit you, which many spells can't), but you also have more hitpoints to absorb it. The fact that you can get nearly killed from one powerful spell or flurry of attacks is just what happens when two powerful characters fight each other. It means faster combat and a heightened sense of danger, and I see that as a good thing.This is not confined to just casters. If there's a rogue assassin NPC hiding in the woods, the first person they hit with an arrow is going to be hurting or dying. I like that sense of danger.</blockquote>
