[QUOTE="WhosDaDungeonMaster, post: 7521715"] I haven't been into 5E long at all, but from what you're saying I would just reduce Bless to a +1 bonus instead of a roll anyway, maybe a static +2? It would speed up the game and it [I]is[/I] a 1st-level spell so should not be very powerful IMO. You do need concentration, which limits it sometimes depending on the encounter, and boosting attack rolls is fine since hitting more often seems to be the intent of 5E. I wouldn't let multiple spells stack, but I would be fine with spells and magic items (however rare you choose to make them) stacking. Also, at the level you are probably talking about if someone has a high +X weapons, Bless isn't likely the spell the Cleric will like want to spend every round concentrating on. I could easily be wrong about that, but that is my thought. I can more see people arguing about magic and spells buffing AC since keeping AC lower in most cases is also a thing for 5E. If that is the case, I wouldn't let magic items stack, but again it depends on your own experiences and flavor of your game. What I find interesting is how quickly 5E is to add damage instead of attack. For example, if a character deals 8 damage on average, gaining a +2 to attack raises his expected damage by 0.8. But, the game seems to be happier granting a +2 damage bonus instead, raising his expected damage to 10. Which is a more powerful boost? ;) [/QUOTE]
