My plan is to put vicious on secondary weapons. Otherwise you just suck.

Reskinning derp. My bad

It's not as good as some very rares and legendaries. Build depending of course. No attunement only matters once you hit 4 items

Well the OP was a bit of a strawman. There is a lot of variables to account for. Very few here seem to be playing 5.5. One coukd argue with HP inflation the other magic weapons are underpowered. You won't find vicious weapons in WotC modules. We are level 9 and have some better weapons...

OP put a fairly unlikely scenario. Depends on DM selling them and putting in a lot of cash. . I've put 2 into my game. 1 required an infernal pact.

Probably shrink to some extent up to potentially 80-90%.

That's how I did it. Exhaustion quite nasty. I hit them with 6 saves and they drained all their lucky feats, inspiration etc vs it. DC q5 level 8.

Probably most likely outcome. Sone Pathfinder type game woukd probably rally a few but it's probably back to 3.5 levels or lower interest levels. Social media wasn't such a thing back then so finding players of "Pathfinder" would be easier than say 2009 or 10. Paizo and Kobold Press...

I think it's what items are available. Wand of fireballs hell no +1 armor so what. Hence curated lists of specific items. Atm close to 5.5 DMG guidelines.

Without save or dies and high hit point totals spellcasters are kinda weak at sealing the deal. 3.5 level damage if that except very low levels. Buckets of hit points. Vicious in 3.5 was also 2d6 but mobsters had so much less HP. 5E magic item rarities are not good. Nor is attunement. Pure...

Notice I've been bangingbon about this for a bit. Spellcasers don't suck but the meta is have them teamwork with the martials. You probably won't have twin Vicious weapons at level 6. By 12 it is possible depending on how the DM does things. It's also wh I thought CME wasn't that bad...

Vicious was in 3.5. Originated there. Even made it into the minis game.

New exhaustion can spiral? As I read it 2 levels gives you -4. If the third level has a save that's also at -4?

If it was still available probably It doesn't really make much difference to me. Unless players start getting hard to find. Total collapse I have more than I'll ever need.

Canadian that's different

Well in that event it's because they pooped the bed. So it really depends. If the whole economy system comes crashing down and people aren't interested in playing? It's functionally dead move on do something else. If you can still find players keep going using existing material. I've got...

Probably but that's a WotC problem.

You can still do Gothic horror or post apocalyptic though.

I meant I don't care about WotC doing that. They can't ninja my old books away. Market shrinking would be likely. That could make recruiting players harder. With clones, OSR, back catalog being available it wouldn't fo anything to me. Pathfinder effect. I don't need wotc for D&D. One can...

Don't care. OSR and clones still around. If they're gone as well I have around 500 books/magazines on the shelf. Barely touched a lot of 2E and 3E splat. Pathfinder as well only bought 6 books. If recruiting players is hard/impossible run a smaller group. Back catalog would last for...
