i'm going to try giving all of my monsters their maximum hp value for today's session and see how it goes. my players are just tearing through encounters right now. the ranger especially is really fucking good. i don't know why people complain about rangers man, this guy is consistently dealing more damage than anyone else every turn. like 40+ if he gets both hits.
it's not really too fun when you have to roll for initiative and then there is only one round of combat and the enemies don't even get to do anything cool. so i'm going to boost their hp just to see how it goes.
