Pretty sure you always add you proficiency bonus to spell casting. Will try and find a reference. Don't believe there is a High Elf focus item though.

I think the answer to this has already been expanded upon rather eloquently by epochrpg above.

Have you considered using the same Slot Level table as Warlocks, which caps at 5th level spell slots at level 9?

Which 100% contracts the RAW. If you decide to ignore that, yes the Wolf gets better. I am still not convinced it gets much better mind, a Bonus to hit in game with universal low AC is not fantastic, nor is a minimum of 4 hp per level. As for your argument that a Challenge 1 Imp or Quasit is...

I would roll back to 5e but base it on a pact of chain warlock. Challenge 1 creatures, Check (Imp or Quasit) Pet Acts on its own initiative without you commanding it, Check (except Attack actions) Pet can't actually be killed, Check. Ok, the Chain pack Warlock doesn't get a single other...

Interesting point. Given that Darts and Dagger have almost identical stats (cost and weight are different), its odd that if you classify them as Dagger monks can hurl shuriken for d10 damage, but if you classify them as Darts they cannot. You could speculate that either Monks are not supposed...

I feel powerless to resist the urge to say 'yes, that works.'

Just noticed that I never replied to this. I did do one version that was loaded with immunities, but it seemed not to really fit 5e style. This is the edition were Undead are not immune to Fear after all. Open to suggestion on languages, although Telepathy makes them pretty moot.

To be honest, I don't see that quaffing a potion with Cunning Action is an issue. But using it to cast 'Ice Storm' should be right out.

These have turned out as a bit glass-cannon, although as a flying ranged attacker they are a bit nasty. I have purposefully deceased the size from the MM entry, as them being large bee people is not very cool imho. Also stripped of their ability to cast sleep, which I will reserve for Drones for...

I think a better solution would be the Magic Item requires the appropriate Action to the effect. So if you are using a Wand to cast a spell - the action you are taking is 'Cast a Spell' rather than 'Use an Object'.

Kill Lizardmen, loot spiked shields, watch DM cry.

Apparently you can't use Cunning Action to Activate a Magical Item (probably for that very reason). From Twitter: @Hadan_Ashcroft : Rogue: Fast Hands (Use an Object) so every round I can drink a potion, use a scroll or wand as a bonus action? @mikemearls : nope - use an object does not refer to...

Because the Critical Hit Doubles the Dice rolled, and Assassinate Doubles the Total Damage Done, I believe they stack.

Yeah well, suddenly dragons hanging out with kobolds makes sense... ;o)

If you run it as a Group check, as log as 50% (i.e. 2 in your example) beat the target's Passive perception, then all the group would count as succeeding and the monster's would be surprised.

You also might want to bear in mine that Druids can shape-change into any Beast of Challenge 1. I think a lot of the Recharge on Rest powers are there because of that.

Wand of Winter has a Save DC of 15. I am not entirely sure how they determined that as its bonus to hit is +5. Edit: Ah! looking at the scroll table referenced by Agamon above, looks like it is based on the level of spell in question.

In this case, that would be the Lion's Pounce feature.

Yeah, every time I read Assassin the Alert feat becomes more and more tempting! ;o)
