Maybe things were just that different in 1e but the most unrealistic part of Stranger Things is definitely Will Byers oneshotting a thesselhydra with a DC 13 fireball
Well, DCs weren’t invented until 3e, so yeah, that at least is different.
Let’s see… a 1e fireball does 1D6 per level of the caster. Minimum level for a magic-user to cast it is 5th, so even at the lowest possible level it could do up to 30 points of damage.
A 1e thessalhydra has 12 hit dice, so a hit point range of 12-96.
So yeah. Not sure what level the kid’s MU is, or what his DM rolled for the monster’s hit points, but a one-shotting is mathematically possible.
