The druid ability Timeless Body, for example: "For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year". So, if you are human and you get to live to be 90 years old, you have passed 10 to 20 years being really old and plagued by the disabilities that aging brings. But a druid will have to be this old and disabled for 100 to 200 years! Is this a blessing or a curse?
Another thing that bugs me is that the mechanics make it really really difficult to actually verify what's real. For example, you meet someone and you agree to do a quest for him/her. But did i really meet someone or was it an illusion? Or a shapeshifter? Was it a human or a vampire? I cast Detect Evil and Good. He is human. But Nystul's Magical Aura exists. Should i cast first Dispel Magic and then Detect Evil/Good? Did Dispel Magic work? Can i do that to everyone i meet? Of course not. All these are wonderful hooks to start an adventure and are part of DND's charm. But shouldn't be a way, at least at high levels, to have a clear view of things? Only the warlock approaches this opinion of mine with Witch Sight. Isn't a little sad to be a 20th level character and still get fooled by little tricks like these?
What do you think does not make sense rp wise?
