There is no sense of danger ?

Damn, I was hoping this was going to be a real discussion of the lack of peril in a standard D&D game, with all the many ways to solve every problem from dismemberment to death. Curses, being turned to stone, etc are all easy problems to fix. With enough money, every problem can be fixed (except the problem of not having enough money... and with Wall of Iron, even that can be dealt with).

There is no sense of danger, no weight to something that happens, no real stakes.

See, this *could* have started a real thread...

Same. It would mesh well with the discussion going on in the 3.5/PF sub-forum about optimization. One of the points brought about is that challenge is unnecessary, and this is something at least I disagree with.
