We also took on the Half Dragon as a team and beat it, but just barely and because the DM gave us some archers on the keep walls.Well, ignoring your snarkiness, yes, there is some truth to the fact that other classes can cast a few of the BEST Wizard spells. It's not a matter of casting spells, it's a matter of taking the Wizard signature spells and handing them out to other classes. Our party Bard can cast Sleep. The best offensive 1st level spell a low level Wizard can cast. There is actually very little design love for low level Wizards. At higher levels, sure. No problem there.There is no doubt in my mind that if our group had not played two levels of LMoP as a playtest, that what happened to your group could easily have happened to our group. Having that playtest experience, though, let us know that low level 5E is hazardous and stealth is a premium skill for low level.Blaming experienced D&D players for a bad experience, though, is kind of like your "My Little Pony" comment. It seems a bit harsh. Blaming the players of a given style because the game system doesn't quite support that style as much anymore. Meh.</blockquote>
