I prefer it that way as well but this is one of the most common changes in my groups. Some of my groups don't allow any other spell granting feats.

Magic Initiate: Choose a class: bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard. Your spellcasting ability for these spells depends on the class you chose: Charisma for bard, sorcerer, or warlock; Wisdom for cleric or druid; or Intelligence for wizard. You learn two cantrips of your choice...

I made a few classes based around weapon styles. They each have two stances and four abilities. I'm working on consolidating them into a single class.

lol

Change Fighting Style so that it is no longer a choice. You just get different benefits based on what you are wielding.

Invest in 4th edition it's the most popular system. If you are looking for homebrew check out D&Dwiki it has the most widely used and accepted content. When invited to a home game it's expected for you to dress as closely to the vision of your character. It helps set the mood and gives the...

Not always, some classes like the paladin and eldritch knight are only partial casters and you can increase your level and not your caster level by multiclassing with a class that isn't a full caster.

It increases partial caster levels like multiclassing, 1/2 casters 1/3 casters and so on.

One of the homebrew changes my groups sometimes use is having Magic Initate grant the spell as permanently prepared and increase caster level by half, up to character level.

I'm fine with it if I'm given the details of the changes before the start of the game. If the GM feels the need to change something on a character that is already built. I would prefer the GM and the player discuss it before hand and make sure it's something the GM can't work around.

Any that jump out at you more than most? Is there any chance you know of a place where this has already been discussed? I would love a remake of the spells I think there are to many as is and I would prefer a more generic set of spells. So they can easily be fluffed anyway the player wants.

I completely forgot about the weapon draw limit. All the groups I play in have a homebrew that fixes that. Well darn that's just another mark against strength based builds. Okay that makes sense, you can't balance unless you understand the mechanics. So what do you think are the major...

Would you be okay with them if they were refluffed to be less magical or if they had a material cost like an arrow? You could try increasing the casting time of all 6th level spells or higher. I once tried making them take an additional 10min to cast and they could be held to delay the casting...

So it's more fluff than mechanics you have a problem with? You could just give a version of Shillelagh that works with all proficient weapons in place of a damaging cantrips. You could use thrown weapons, but I do understand where you are coming from. My main problem was range attack options...

Do either of you think cantrips deal to much damage? If so just change them, make it were cantrips don't increase in damage but gain a bonus to damage equal to the spellcasting stat modifier. Example: Firebolt 1d10+Int/Wis/Cha
