Kek. Do you roll for 1st level hit points?

Do you die at 0 hp?

No?

Then it is objecitvely NOT the most hardcore edition yet.

Please continue to make excuses for shitty design by claiming it's "hardcore" though. Russian Roulette is hardcore, too, but that doesn't mean it's a well-designed game.

But you do roll for first level hitpoints. Dying at zero hp would be up to the DM.

Not in 5e dumbass.

Death saving throws are for PCs. It's only optional for NPCs. Unless you get overkilled (take your max hp in damage after 0), or you take damage while you're down, you have about 2-5 rounds to get revived. Even if you nat 1 all your death saves, that means at least one turn-cycle before you croak.

That said, 5e can be pretty lethal. Mooks are more of a concern than before, and players don't have many broken tricks to save them when things go wrong.

5e is definitely more hardcore than 3.5. I have to try pretty hard to make sure that my players even make it to level 3, otherwise they just end up getting obliterated.

I guess me and my group did something wrong, we all rolled for our Health Point value.

According to the PHB, first level characters get a full hit die+ CON bonus. It's not really that big of a deal, your group probably is just going to die a lot more often.
