Whoa. That hasn't been my experience (or from what I've read, the experience of most groups unless they're playing something written by Jason Bulmahn!

I kid, but I'm very interested to hear what you're running that has a PC death list sessions?

I'm running Age of Ashes and a conversion of Hell's Rebels plus a homemade game for my podcast, and no deaths so far in any of them.

I don't know what to say. The new crit mechanics heavily favor GM characters. An average midboss character 1 level above the party level has 5% more crit chances and 5% less chances to be crit, 10% at some other levels if the stat boost kicked in.

In the same vein, this system made encounters below the PC level completely trivial. Our party mows through the canon fodder without spending much resources... but we get completely stonewalled by anything above our level.

I only had 1 campaign in 2nd edition yet, but rules as written, I don't see how we could have a different experience.

But party is well balanced. We are all experienced TTRPG players. I don't see this as a "user error".

For me it seems less lethal.

The party I am gming is at level 18th now and so far no deaths, some close calls, but zero deaths indeed.

Less Lethal?

I just discovered that there was an obituary thread but my group could probably double the amount of listings.
My coward of a wizard is the last original character from the party left. some players have had 4 character deaths... and we are only level 11
