@evilbob Also, the 2014 rules don't have the awarded magic items table in the DMG, they are in Xanathar's Guide, chapter 2, page 135.

There are limited rules in the 5.5e (2024) PHB. The 2024 DMG expands those by listing what tools are required for each kind of item (for example: "Tinker's Tools or the tool required to make the nonmagical item on which the magic item is based" for Wondrous items), as well as listing the...

There is also the 5.5 Starting at Higher Levels rules.

FYI, your link is missing the .com

Just a reminder, the tables and rules for magic items by level don't say the number is permanent items, just awarded items. So those tables include consumables. As for myself, I lean toward roughly matching the "Starting at Higher Levels" tables/rules for how many permanent magic items a...

Q1: Permanent 27 in Strength is definitely simpler than permanent Haste, especially when you consider the interactions of a permanently Hasted Monk. Q2: Consider this line from the rule (emphasis mine): "The strange ingredients used in creating potions can result in unpredictable interactions."...

Looking through partnered went faster than I thought. From The Griffin's Saddlebag, Book 2: Soul Pendant (Rare, Attunement) Sash of Sorcerous Synergy (Rare, Sorcerer Attunement) Rod of Thought Protection (Uncommon) Life Turner (Legendary) From the Book of Ebon Tides is the Collapsible Mountain...

To preface: My criteria has been 1) things that specifically call out "a ___ you can see", 2) Effects to apply to allies, not enemies (we can't rely on enemies having a map), 3) Effects that are usable more than once, or present a substantial bonus. Looking at items, there isn't anything from...

I haven't seen this addressed elsewhere, but there is still a fundamental flaw in Replicate Magic Item: It lets you choose items that grant permanent benefits, like the Deck of Wonder and the Bag of Beans.

2014 Paladin: Oath of the Watchers - Watcher's Will 2024 or 2014 Ranger: Fey Wanderer - Beguiling Twist 2014 Warlock: Great Old One - Awakened Mind Fathomless - Fathomless Plunge 2024 Wizard: Evoker - Sculpt Spells (I guess this is beneficial) 2014 Wizard: School of Evocation - Sculpt...

2014 Barbarian: Ancestral Guardian - Spirit Shield 2014 Cleric: Twilight Domain - Eyes of Night Life Domain - Preserve Life Arcana Domain - Spell Breaker Grave Domain - Sentinel at Death's Door 2014 Druid: Circle of Dreams - Balm of the Summer Court 2024 & 2014 Fighter: Psi Warrior -...

I think that would mainly just adjust the effective range, but I am not that much of a power gamer, so I'm likely missing things.

From this UA: Greater Mark of Warding - Improved Warding From either Artificer: Flash of Genius Battle Smith - Arcane Jolt healing I won't be looking any more tonight, so any other class features or item benefits will be up to all of you til tomorrow.

As for races: Gem Dragonborn from Fizban's Treasury Kalashtar from Eberron: Rising Both for their telepathy.

I don't know what is best, but useful options I can see from just the 2024 rules (in Level order): Message Spare the Dying Bless Sanctuary Haste Telekinesis Heal Mass Heal Power Word Heal From official 2014 sources (not counting spells that reappear in 2024), still in level order: Air...
