Depends. To me the only outlandish thing seems to be how much effort that character had put into his plan rather than outright bringing justice by fire. (To those he thought of doing wrong - which is another kind of debate) I once had a Lightbringer in another System (Pretty much the Paladin...

You do realize that there is a vast community of enthusiast pick lockers that tackle the state of the art stuff in a constant race to pick NOT break them? That those guys for example use youtube to showcase serious design flaws in locks that were thought to be safe? Like Abloys? Yet for some...

So you got a bad one. In my country you can sue them if they destroy it without need for it is a pretty common scam to sell you a new lock afterwards.

Diabolic Resistance For a 1st Level Abilitiy this is quite potent. Basically cold resistance on top and poison, fire (Most prominent elemental damage type) get as close to outright immunity as they can get. Fiendish Fortitude Free elimination of one of the major weaknesses of Full-Casters...

Take a look at a good professional locksmith. They get pretty much everything open quite easily and fast without any damage to the lock. A woodworkers biggest enemy is that wood is a natural resources and thus can cause damage to the product without any fault being made by the artist.

Looks like warlock (esp. Hexblade) but quite stronger. For a homebrew group its okay i guess but i would not allow it with regular classes.

That is pretty much the perfect answer to it. If such a feature that seems well accepted to this point and - to my knowledge - rarely brings up any problems, is such a hassle for "you", maybe it is the DM who still has to learn a bit.

Outright ignoring locks and stuff for the Rogue to do is imho on the DM to be honest. Just because he is so good at it does not mean you can completely ignore it. Just because your fighter can roughen up some tavern brawlers without even standing up, those do not stop to be around there from...

True, though there are als plenty of builds with near “constant“ absurd ac that prove that bounded accuracy has its limits, by design. You may call that failure, icall that the nature of.the beast. In the end, what i am saying is: bounded accuracy is a design philosophy, not a dogma one has to...

That has nothing to do with bounded accuracy but 1 and 20 being criticals. The best archer in the world may have rolled an 18 for his dex, meaning (Ranger or Fighter in this case) he only needs his first ASI (LvL4) to always hit a commoner unless he failed critically. As for the best Wizard, he...

The disadvantage thing sounds great as long as not suddenly gives disadvantage that is. As for the advantage requirement, that would make it pretty useless given that on average your advantage roll is way better than just taking 10.

How do you intend to balance this agains a monk for example. Is a bare fist fighter not Allied then or are improvised weapons always worse. What does the monk get in return? Also keep in mind that you may delay the developement of a class in a severe way if you link it to level anyway formartial...

Thing is: Maneuvers are NOT linked to weapons but the class. So it is even better - every weapon works just fine with them. So when you change the weapons, do you also intend to overhaul the fighter? With battle master he has plenty of tactical opportunity and once you got the magic weapon X you...

They prove a general statement to be wrong. A paladin even supports his group. I'd also argue that you do not have to sacrifice much in your build to get decent saves. There are only 3 important saves to have, getting resilient for another one is rather easy and for plenty of builds even...

Imho the thread mostly boils down to peopne not knowing where weapons are useful. And that is a dangerous stage to start for homebrews.

As for your Questions regarding the d10 weapons with reach or stuff like the hand crossbow. Those become the most powerful/versatile weapons in the entire game with their Feats. If you want to specialize: Get the feat, everything else is just basic education. Thing is, not every weapon has a...

Monks and Paladins might have a say here.

On our table you do not just call "stealth" and roll for it. We describe actions like "I want to dash from rock to rock" and the DM then makes us roll the Stealth Check. Against Tremorsense that would fail yet learning that you can otherwise sneak as in walking very slow, silent and controlling...

What do you guys actually think of class features that grant super useful spells for free, the whole day? Do you remove those too? Maybe DnD is simply not your system if it is such a big problem for you that high level characters get extremely potent by design. There are plenty of systems out...

So while you try to make a pseuo-realistic progression system for weapon, the spell caster have their same progression and break reality anyway? I still wonder: What is the actual goal of this change?
