How many are too many? When it isn't fun. The Wizard getting out their light crossbow probably isn't very entertaining to them. But oddball things like this are great in campaigns. Like teleportation-free areas (take damage if you misty step), anti-magic, all the oddball undead things like...

I was under the impression there would be rum.

Sounds too much like old True Strike and giving up two attacks vs 1. You lose out on +x weapon damage and on Cleric Empowered strikes, and you have to wait a round to kill.

Most summons aren't very strong, the power is in "emanation" spells. Nerfing summons to make them burn your action every turn would mean no one would use them, probably wouldn't even waste a memorization on them. To compare them to Druids you need the druid concentration spell running as well.

sure, but what it takes to put it online when you have the pdf is about 10 seconds of effort, versus scanning in 200 pages just to give them away.

There's nothing wrong with wanting it, just don't expect them to put it in a form for people to post online for free.

Torches were bigger back in the day because humans were the default race. In AD&D there were entire classes you could only play as a human, and there were lots of level limits on races in other classes.

Beast Master does fine with damage.

Magic Initiate Wizard and the new True Strike lets you actually be a combat Cleric without sucking at it.

We need a "Find My Orcs" options on our smart watches then.

Harry's hippogriff skimmed over the water just fine I'll have you know.

One would think that Dragons in such a world would know to fly nap of the earth.

Having all the school's spells automatically prepared is a massive buff. Playing a wizard is always about choosing which spells to prepare and which to leave out. Book casting is also super-powerful, what's to stop me from doing this 3 or 4 times until I make the check? And 2025 Wizards get...

I think the advantages of ranged attacks are mitigated by proper use of cover rules (super rare in practice). But in general, having mobs that aren't just all on one side of the map qnd/or having cover from ranged attacks does a good job of stopping ranged characters from being so strong...

So you mean talking animals not as animals but as playable races? Plenty of examples of this, we have bunnies, cats, fish, turtles... Use these as a comparison and have a Dog if you want, but you really need hands.
