The poor business tactics and underhand woke stuff should have been separated. Poor business tactics looping into them trying to push out legacy content in favor of new content that is mid at best, as well as their company wide current business model of "less and more", where they release more...

Operative word there: won't And yes, having only two true martials and a class that's basically martial (ranger, the only 1/3 caster that isn't a subclass) is just more reason of them being lazy and not just bringing everyone to the same level

You're doing all this but you still have not explained what this "defacto level" IS, how it is quantified. Without that, it's literally just CR by a different name. You use ancient dragons as an example, but an ancient brass dragon (cr 20) is significantly weaker than an bronze dragon, and even...

releasing things piecemeal a class or two at a time with one or two subclasses only, nerfing martials and then half un-nerfing them, changing a bunch of the basic rules but not having any indication how they're supposed to interact with each other, the community squabbling over everything (not...

Ah, whoops, I saw the april and not the 2023 lol. Haven't really been paying attention to one dnd releases since the playtest has been a mess imo. A quick glance looks like they improved the utility and resource management, and they moved stunning strike to lvl 5, but also gave it a small damage...

This is true only if the creature has levels. Creatures that don't are outside of this calculation. Dragons don't have 'levels', they have approximate ages and the power they've accumulated, as well as their color Golems have what they were made with Soldiers (npcs) have their rank Goblins have...

Are you forgetting pact of the blade hexblade warlocks? with just a few levels into that you can make any class a gish, proficiency with any weapon, spells like shield, armor of agathys, darkness cast on your weapon so it moves with you + devil's sight so you blind your enemies but are...

Can guarantee it's because they can't decide what to do with stunning strike. The monk subclasses have all been such ass because the basic monk is considered "too strong" because of it. Nevermind that monk peters off in higher levels and con saves are one of the worst, right down there with dex...

The problem is that the level system is for single characters and the challenge rating system is for groups IIRC the challenge rating system is based on adding up the challenge rating of all the creatures in the fight and that being equal to the level of the party for a 5 character party (the...

The crab pot fallacy If a crab tries to climb out of a crab pot, the other crabs will pull them back down, preventing them from escaping, and dooming them all to death. We can't have better martial classes cuz that would make the other martial classes look worse and we can't be arsed to buff...

Use more limited magic immunity. It's right there under your noses and no one looks at it when considering full casters as OP. Creatures that have the ability where 5th level or lower spells don't affect them. This one really hurts multiclass casters because it doesn't matter if you upcast it...
