Difficulty is within the control of both players and DM. If players want to play on hard mode they just don’t select healing word. All of a sudden 5e is hard as any edition since 2nd.Also difficulty is a simple a case of turning up the dials on what an encounters foes can withstand and up on what they can dish out. There are so many ways to do that within the game.When players use the internet to research killer builds, find optimum spell choices etc then it isn’t the game system that’s powerful, it’s the players approach.A first level character in 5e has the same number of hp as a character in 3e. Less in a lot of cases.</blockquote>
