in a way. it's removing dependency on a OKish spell that consumes 90+% of the Concentration slot, making every other ranger Concentration spells complete waste of print space. it's not helped with later subclasses doubling down on hunter's mark. it makes for a boring class to play. ranger...

replace Hunter's mark with Divine favor in favored enemy feature

Fey step: Elves can teleport as Bonus action up to 50ft+10ft per level. they can split that distance in as many instances but each instance must use atleast 5ft of distance.

4 Factotums.

Solution is simple. announce what level is the next session. maybe last 2 sessions your PCs managed to do something important and they advanced the story from 4th to 5th level. have anyone coming to next session be 5th level. while you can make different levels work in a same party to a...

or you can just stack advantage/disadvantage to keep it simple. now you just need to determine the cap, if it's needed at all, it's diminishing returns stacking advantage. Elven accuracy adds +1 die if you have atleast 1 advantage die. maybe limit to 4 dice rolled max(5 with elven accuracy).

few things about firearms in D&D: 1. They are simple weapons. Anyone can be trained in basics of firearm in few minutes. Then comes practice to improve your aim and muscle memory for reload speed. 2. Reload for playability should not be Longer than 1 Action, so you can attack every other...

Hunter could have been a subclass for all HM BS that is tacked on base class. Bonus spells for Hunter 1. Hunter's mark, DOH! 2. See invisibility 3. clairvoyance 4. Dimension door 5. Hold monster

reach could also be more granular then. with reach 1(normal) reach 2 reach 3(10ft) reach 2 could be for most 2Handed melee weapons and longer 1Handed reach 3 would be for polearms. reach 4 for pike.

One solution to make stat rolling mean less is: use abilities just for ABILITY checks, rest uses only proficiency bonus: Attack: 2×prof bonus, or only prof bonus if non proficient AC:10+prof bonus(if proficient with armor)+ AC bonus(if any) Damage: base damage+prof bonus(if proficient with...
