So for the most part I run 5e with few houserules, mostly simple stuff or things added to change the basic play loop.
However!
If I could change one big thing in 5e, it would be this:
No static numerical bonus stacks with another static numerical bonus, ever.
Your shield can add to your AC because it’s a bonus and a calculation, not two bonuses, but a shield and a ring of protection would not stack.
You might end up needing to change some stuff, like make shield work a little differently (maybe it changes your AC to 14 + Spellcasting mod +proficiency, for instance), but it would eliminate an Avenue of cheese while simplifying the game, I think.
What about everyone else? What is a BIG bit singular thing you’d change. Something that can be stated in one normal sentence, preferably.
And keep it civil and don’t snipe at others’ ideas.
