Well Said ! And a pretentious prick . I ' m just so tired of everyone jumping on the SJW bandwagon . <| sep |> I am 19 , never been in a relationship . Never got a first kiss . Guess we ' re normal and if not it doesnt matter <| sep |> Judging by how they heavily showcased the Lupus vs Vidar fight in the recently concluded Gunpla Expo , you might be right <| sep |> Is this an allegory for Crimea ? <| sep |> TL DR The party make up doesn ' t determine how difficult combat is . The DM does . So there is a theme to about 23 s of the responses that is quite misleading . It is clear that many players believe that a wellbalanced party makes combat less lethal . You can believe this , and your DM may believe this . I know many DMs feel that they don ' t have the tools to make combat difficult enough in 5 th edition . The simple truth is they don ' t understand 5 th edition . Under the guidelines of 5 th edition , a DM can make a combat as difficult as he wants with only a medium encounter budget . I appreciate the some maybe most don ' t believe this , and for some reason don ' t like it , but it is what is called a fact .
