There is a point in the advancement story of D&D where certain things which were obstacles at low level are no longer, needing to rest could be one of them like letting martial types recover like they had a short rest after every 2 encounters no actual resting involved with some selectable or...

Perhaps one could enhance the martial analog to Magic Initiate to include gain a loyal Battle Squire as well as the other explicit knowledge of maneuvers.

The DM vs Wizard war news at eleven.

This isn't exactly Twitter well I'll be.

And never has been... can I remember reading about these monster types for clues about their vulnerabilities (both basic ones and special) is another question? No but the fighter remembers listening to fireside discussions about it AND the rogue remembers the listening to adventurers tales at...

Define crits for non-combat abilities and have the Champion get that too?

Sure If the wizard is clever player is clever he has more options to combine with

You were responding to someone who said specifically "not many" .... you proved them correct

sounds like a druidic flavor of familiar

When I talk about adjusting maneuvers so they are more versatile (even just in combat versatile), I am afraid they are still going to be less versatile even with my adjustments than much of the above. Non-casters are reliant on skills when we step out of combat and 5e skills do not have the...

possibly more extensively than just a recollected element from a dusty old book you read 10 years ago ... a full round sounds pretty heavy what is the average benefit? a bonus action seems far more tempting.

Buffy the vampire slayer and similar use books (or her wizard analog does) ... the idea of Wizards researching the big bads is just spot on flavor wise and don't blindly rush at them. The idea that combats should all be surprises and that it is a pure guessing game does not seem to conform to...

Summons are crazy ... smdh

Knowledge checks as a standard thing? Or even DM just informing the guy with the right background.

And by and large they paid attention to that element and its tactical value Yes but even just a Web Spell can be a real corker... hurray for a level 2 effect

One of the criticisms of Level Up I have heard is they worried too much about damage capacity when they were making balance adjustments and didnt pay attention to how overwhelming the control spells were.

Of course a fighter has no such option with attacks... and no ability to find a rock paper scissors opening

Well the description of the tier before that includes transformative events like a druid becoming a force of nature I really think that is the epic in question not that underfed/underflavored over 20 bit. (don't remember the exact wording but Its nearly identical story wise to 4e's epic tier...

magic can break the laws of physics and be weak as hell. It's arbitrary how strong magic is or isn't. Most magic might all be ritualized for instance there is a lot of fiction for which that is true, and next to nothing for combat : the abilities can utterly trounce on the laws of nature but...

But are you in 5e? I mean in 4e and 3e there were tools powers and feats you could take to make that much more likely. The 5e designers went into this with a just say no attitude about that in 4e my fighter can pick options to get damage resistance which nullifies low end damage (not reduces)...
