Why would anyone ever choose not to MC?

wow, that would make it kinda OP...

In this day and age, I believe no one wants their kid to experience pure holy goodness

We should mail him some special d8 for him to use just with his divine smites

Would you fall for that when you were a kid?

Did he use a katana to do Divine Smite? Is his char a gnome?

sure! I'm not saying one character was built wrong, or the other was min maxed to be superior to the others. What I'm saying is, the rogue is not just a rogue, it is a MC, the gives him a lot of raw power. It should be acounted for. The fact the fighter went for defense should be observed to...

*Fighting Style cost

It seems to me that your rogue was built to do a lot of damage, and your fighter was built to be defensive. And that's what is happening in the game. If the fighter wanted to do more damage than a multiclassed character focused on dealing damage (even if it is not the best MC build for damage)...

It's a Magic Card, from Ravnica.

I'm not that familiar with Greyhawk, and was under the impression it was fairly similar to FR in genre and mechanics, being more of a "standart" fantasy setting. Am I woring in that? what an adaptation would have to include? What makes 5e as it is now unfit to play a Greyhawk campaign? Would...

Now I completely understand why the rogue was doing a crapton of damage XD

Man, and the adventure is so good... at least it played awesome when I ran it in 5e, without those (in my opinion) absurd restrictions.

well, for 5e's parameters, he has power-gamed the character. What I don't understand is how the fighter is not dealing more damage than that? sure assassinate is awesome in the first round, but action surge is equally as devastating...

Maybe that's the best way to go at things... Instead of changing the class in a tricky way, and risking a player feel you robbed them of their powers, trying to find a justification that fits your fiction of the world.

I feel crap loads of damage is an exageration, sneak attack makes the rogue just close to marcial classes in damage output.

But I always comeback to the point, it's not about the creature you target anymore, it's about your power to extract advantages. Going by this it gets real easy to justify sneak attack.

The problem is that there's an expectance of the rogue nowadays for being a good damage dealer, so it needs to have a feature that grants significant damage output. I understand why it doesn't fit your fantasy, why it's hard to suspend your disbelief. But still, if you limit sneak attack there...

One way you could go about this is skipping the quest by the new characters to unpetrify the old characters. Start the session with them coming back to life, and discovering magic was used to bring them back, and now they have a debt to pay, a favor to retribute, something like that,

It's funny how this issue happens with people who are used to the reallity of previous editions. It happened to me and my group, and seing the responses here, it still happens a lot. In 5e the reasoning for sneak attack is not the same as in 3.x, it's not about hitting soft or vital spots. The...
