(e.g. 0e or Basic D&D) is likely to be much more common than in a system where you get multiple rounds of saves to avoid it during which time you can be cured up from a distance (e.g. 4e or 5e D&D) and where you almost certainly started with relatively more h.p. in the first place.  Further, early D&D editions (pre-3e) include level draining and a relatively good chance of losing magic items now and then, both of which have been either removed or drastically scaled back in the newer version (post 3x - 3x/PF itself falls kind of in the middle here).Edit to add: and these differences in design/rules are inevitably going to affect the play style at the table. which is my point.Lanefan</blockquote>
