I’m semi new to dming but nobody else will dm so it’s up to me. my campaign is a semi gritty semi dark fantasy setting that mainly takes place in the forest of deadwood a forest cures with life where nobody can truly die(their is still consequences to death) and it’s up to my players to stop the spread of the curse( I have a whole story written but I don’t have time i can answer any questions tho) but my problem is I want the equivalent of dark souls level combats where although you can survive death is expected

sorry if this is vaguely written this is my first time posting on Reddit
