Indeed switching to another plan allow to change the scale and the power level of the world.

For my understanding I rather use 1-4 minor league, in training, often disorganized 5-10 professional: warrior, wizard, criminal 11-16 Elite status. Special ops military, gifted wizard, uncanny assassins. 17+ Legendary. Best of his generation. Seen only once every ten years.

The problem with those assumptions and rule of thumb, they got derailled as soon as you are concretely playing high level on a regular basis. To sustain a high level adventure you need a immense amount of legendary characters or even only famous like a 12th level character. all of them will be...

The high level fighter ( or Captain America) is standing in front of the King with the rest of his party, what are your expectations of his possibilities? Same thing the on the sea side, his party need to travel oversea, what do you want Hawkeye the fighter to do?

Actually the game allow that. Players describe want he want his character to do. DM say: Yes, No, ask a roll, or rely on a precise game mechanic, then describe more clearly the result.

Written fantasy very rarely apply the logic and the pragmatism to would use players in same situation. But the result is what most viewers and readers want to be satisfied. Even based on true life story are usually highly wrap up to produce a good entertaining story. The same thing would be...

That is a cool and underused DM trick, using critical hit to shape the fight on favor of one side or the other.

Next time add a breath weapon, 30d6 force damage. that would help!

I like it, to have more flavor a DM can use the Balor, the Marillith, the Pit fiend as template to create a badass mighty warrior.

I think that one thing that fuel this war, is that people seek a rule set that fit perfectly their needs in term of challenge, play style, world building assumptions, etc. While the designers are trying to make a rule set that offer the greatest possible variety of challenge, play style and...

In 5ed there is no rules or even hint about the rarity or the commonly of high level character. On the other hand there is plenty of assumptions and tropes that come form older editions. A DM may put all his plots in a small kingdom, or into a tribal or post apocalyptic world. the social role...

Henry Calvil is huge fan a 40k universe, and a proclaimed Geek, but not quite sure he actually play dnd.

There are numerous way to describe a 20th level character, a kind of super hero that watch over the world, a agent or knight at the service of a powerful kingdom, or a trash character that sometime have problem to pay for a beer in a inn.

And I will add that this rule is base on the assumption that the players and the DM trust each other and will collaborate to create an epic adventure.

I think we need to realigned this thread on his original goal : Provide solutions to the martial-caster case. Ok, I agree I didnt help much in that way. I would give a try to a skill system where there is no ability modifier and use instead the PB bonus or a fixed bonus Like +3 or +4...

”Drink Coca Cola” like messages will certainly be the more common usage!

I would run it as a Conan like story. Throw enemy evil Wizards and kings on his path, meanwhile let chance to make trustworthy friends and allies. I don’t see reason to limits any the usual stuff we can see in DnD . in Fact a solo champion fighter have no limitation in DnD. The main concern for...

Thank for the data. Those stats are always surprising, considering the unsatisfaction we see here about the fighter. The new playtest have not change fighter that much on the major points of unsatistaction, but I guess that we will have the same stats in 2030. so there is still a mystery to...

I guess that you need more to play the most valuable character of the party.
