Since starting to play 5th Edition, seems like there are lot more instances of near party wipes occurring when there is combat. It's become common for 2-3 members to be in overflow and the rest seriously injured. We've even had several members have to burn edge to avoid total death.
The main thing I can pin-point is the change to automatic fire rules, i.e. now they reduce dodge instead of increasing damage. So I'm looking for ideas on how to mitigate some of this lethality. I played 4th Edition pretty extensively, and it seems like lethality has quadrupled in 5th Edition. |
