SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Like, it's well known (at least where I look) that 5e falls apart at higher levels, and the CR system is completely broken... With Monsters several CR levels higher than the PC's being easily killed.

I don't think it is so much that 5e is broken, more that most WoTC higher level (10+) monsters are heavily over-rated, their CRs should be considerably lower. Dragons tend to be an exception, and Kobold Press have mostly accurate high-CR monsters IME. A Stone Golem should be an 8 not a 10. An Iron Golem should be an 11 not a 16. A Lich should be a 13 not a 21. A Vampire should be a 9 not a 13. Beholders seem accurate at 13, conversely.
