Looks right. Also, note that it's half damage on a successful save, so the group will always do something. A +4 attack bonus at 5th+ level may result in all misses, depending on what they're attacking. If it's 5 or less, and the individual creatures would present a reasonable threat, I would...

I don't see a species called out in your plan. If Sailor fits the story (and mechanics), and you just like the Magic Initiate feat, why not go human and take is as your bonus Origin feat?

What exactly did they roll? With standard Teleport, there are 3 bad results: *Mishap - take damage and roll again. *Off Target - 1d10x1d10% of the distance in a random direction. *Similar Area - end up somewhere similar to the destination. (They could end up in a similar hut to where they...

Not sure what RAI was, but I would just add "may" to the spell. If you don't have a spellcasting ability, or if your strength/dexterity are higher than your spellcasting ability, just use the normal modifier for the weapon attack. Given the effects, it wouldn't really create a power concern.

The way I look at it (and yes, I'm a GM), it that the armor proficiency gives consistency rather than the highest AC for casters. Let's take a wizard as an example. Given the cost, this is probable only realistic above 5th level. Wizard 1 *Gains proficiency in Half-plate (the best medium...

For most campaigns I wouldn't have an issue with them aquiring it. Though it would be 200-300 gold (50/month), plus the cost of the specific armor learned, so it's unlikely to be a pre-playing thing unless the game starts at higher level. Personal preference - I like the option of doing it...

I'd put it on the same time/cost as learning a weapon. Seems like the most comparable thing.

I think Forgetful is reasonable balance-wise, depending what can inflict the condition. It could use more direct clarity. Assuming I understand your intent: *You cannot apply your Proficiency, Specialties, or Expertise to any Ability/Skill checks. *You cannot communicate in, or understand...

(Fairly certain I'm remembering what each edition used below) #1 and 4 are kindof the same reason. After 3.5, there wasn't a split between your attack and damage stats. In 3.5 and earlier, Dex was used for determining ranged accuracy, but didn't add to the damage. Composite bows allowed...

This would be highly dependent on the DM's leniency. The feat allows spells that target "a single creature or have a range of touch." It doesn't specify primary targets. The spell lists its target as "One creature or object (primary) and up to three additional." So the spell could be...

You couldn't Power Attack. Basically you either do or do not have Advantage/Disadvantage. Saying having them both "cancels them out" is a bit inaccurate - their effects cancel each other, but you still have the condition. It's why you can't stack advantage. Poisoned - Disadvantage Attacking a...

5 attacks. Action (2), Action Surge (2), Haste Action (1) Optional Addition: Bonus Action (1 off-hand) Action Surge just gives you an extra Action. The bonus Haste Action is once per your turn.

Action Surge and casting? Just don't use a Bonus Action spell (or two concentration spells), and you're good. The only restriction on casting multiple spells in one turn is if one is a BA - then any Action spells have to be cantrips.

At least in my copy, it specifies that you can copy a spell into your book as long as it is of a level you can prepare. You cannot prepare level 3 wizard spells as a level 2 wizard. You do have the spell slots for upcasting though

Touch spells would be questionable, depending whether the DM says the target actually needs to be touched, which the ally is not doing, or just need to be within that range. If they're fine with it, or the ally is touching the target, then you're good
