[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9194456, member: 6801845"] Unless I'm playing an elf, almost guaranteed to play for hundreds of hours. Most games I play don't have that high lethality rate, that's just not the expectation any more. For that matter, it wasn't an expectation back when we played OD&D either, different groups have different expectations. If it's an elf, well then it wouldn't matter because they'll die before they reach 3rd level because they're cursed*. Which, if I were playing 1-shots or very short term campaigns I still wouldn't want to roll because I find rolling annoying, not rewarding. But I would be okay with it. Since I don't play 1-shots or short term campaigns it's not relevant. *[I]Although my half-elf has actually made it to 8th level and only come close to dying a couple of times in our Curse of Strahd campaign. So maybe I should try playing an elf again. After all, the last time I tried in 5th edition it was could have been just coincidence that they died at the end of my first session. [/I] [/QUOTE]
