However you have the video game balance idea that pervades modern dnd. Everyone should be equal. Someone holding a knife should have roughly the same dps output as a wizard.Thus magic can't really be as lethal as it should, because what about those without it?Add to this that later editions, but especially 5th are designed for you to win. Its actually pretty hard to die in 5th ed compared to older editions. The dm has to intentionally want to kill you. If magic was more lethal - players would die. however 5th ed is designed to tell the story of how the players win. Victory is a foregone conclusion.</blockquote>
