Combat is this difficult (or more) in D&D IMHO. Lvl 1 characters are very squishy.


The first goblin ambush in the module "Lost mines of phandelver" is a wrecked cart with some goblin archers hiding in brushes both sides of the road and attacking from height (from trees or a slope).

And that´s for level one. You are level 2 in the game after the hell prologue. The bombs are a little overboard, that I agree.
