dumbest thing about 5.5e is moving all sub-classes to 3rd level. sub classes, all of them should be at level 1!. now, what power level of that 1st level feature it is can be debated and in most cases needs to be split between 1st and 3rd level, but what is mandatory for 1st level is: extra...

3rd, 6th and 9th level spell are at new tier of play and give more power bump than other spell level, so scaling should be little extra also. IE: cure wounds 1st level: 2d8 2nd level: 4d8 3rd level: 7d8 4th level: 9d8 5th level: 11d8 6th level: 14d8 7th level: 16d8 8th level: 18d8 9th level: 21d8

paladin smite +9 damage on average. double if you wait on a crit. ranger: 2 attacks for 1d8+3 at 2nd level at 60% accuracy: +9,2 damage more later on, but probably less if you use it on a high AC target, target that probably matters. this will give on average more damage than smite, but...

2 dice per AoE, 3 dice per single target. +1 extra dice for levels 3,6 and 9.

this is one broken ability that does not save the class. either it should be once per turn, or all other people learn how it works so you are bombarded by magic missiles so it drains all your ki pts. yeah, shadow monk is fun, even if it's on the weaker side.

OFC yes, anyway in 99% of the cases 1st level spell casted at 3rd level is weaker than 3rd level spell off topic, fix upcasting; for damage spells, it's waste of an ink ever writing upcasting options.

Eberron, re-finance of the artificer. this whole book can be 2 page errata of 2014 version.

Backgrounds should give floating +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1 and all feats should give floating +1 ASI. feat DC should be based around highest ability mod, or just 2×prof mod. that will remove 90% of min-maxing.

This is why temp HPs, or healing should not be rolled, but be fixed value.

well, as someone also who played several monks in 2014, I can tell you that they are mechanically trash. In roleplay, they can be great. They can be good in exploration. Social they are also F tier. About Stunning strike, It's so hit and miss, that you are better spending ALL KI points on...

I agree, but I would keep it available to anyone that wants it. even tho I hate it. See above, I dont mind if anyone plays wizard with only magic missile, shield and fireball, I just would not play it myself. But, the system must be designed to most complex play ever(or most powerplay), then...

if anything, the revised classes of 2024 were not revised enough. if my old PHB was not a salad by 2024, I would not bother with buying a new one. Most changes you can be written in by pen in the old book or at worst with post-it note. wizard was basically not touched, just "refined", it is...

paladin has a "non-magic" option or better yet, low-magic option. it's smite. you can play non brainer paladin and just use every single spell slot for smiting. something similar for a ranger: Hunter's fury: once on your turn, as a part of Attack Action you can spend a spell slot to make extra...

This sound like 5E needs better skill system, or just better table of what can be done with certain skills. what can be done with each skill with what degree of difficulty, and what is gated behind having proficiency and having expertise. IE, without proficiency max DC that can be made with...

most dragonmark feats are trash, especially "greater" version of them(maybe that is my hatred towards d4 dice is spilling out), so potent dragonmark stands out. Yes, it is very powerful feat, depending on your base dragonmark feat. but it does not break anything. maybe the solution for your...
