I'd say it survives because of the Ranger's training of the pet. That's why it has more hit points based on the rangers level. Better saves would also be from training.

I'd have to say that 3rd level seems a bit high for being only resistant to Bashing damage and also a concentration. If the caster put it on their self and took 8 damage. they take 4 and still have to make a Concentration check. Really hate the Concentration mechanic but that's a problem with...

Yeah Third edition especially used regular stats for NPCs. You really don't want to do that for 5e. So find one in the list of NPCs in the back of the MM and adjust them to match any NPCs you need from the module. You don't want to spend a bunch of time on them because they will only last a...

Yeah , I would check the CR to make sure it fits with the PCs levels. Then I would go through each encounter and total up the XP and the adjusted XP levels. After you know that, add or subtract to match the desired challenge. I'm betting that for the most part you can use almost everything as...

It's because players aren't designers. They are trying to create what they seen in the past and don't understand the balance. This is the main reason why people ask WotC for this stuff. It's not because we hate 5e. We want to see it work better than it does in our eyes. It always amazes...

If the solo is isolated, the 10 orcs will have advantage and deal double damage.

That's why I'm not a designer.

Just like there was a generalist wizard in every other edition and in the playtest as well. Just because there are no negatives doesn't mean I want to be known as Conjurer or an Evoker. I just want to be a wizard. I think they could have metamagics like the Sorcerer gets and maybe an extra...

I honestly don't like the sorcerer as a class but it and the Wizard need a "regular" version for those who don't want to specialize. I am very surprised that the Druid wasn't talked about. Also it seems like they haven't read any of the comments in the surveys or I'm betting Concentration...

I just don't think taking a feat should be a fix to this issue. But that feat definitely helps.

I think the DMG version of Flanking would break the game. It's too easy to get advantage without adding in Opportunity Attacks vs leaving threatened squares.

Paladins and Rangers quite often are in melee. Clerics too. None of these have proficiency in Con and have quite a lot of Concentration spells.

Both Hoard of the Dairy Queen and Lost Mimes of Flanders have quite a lot of magical items. Granted You don't see most of them in HotDQ until the dragon hoard at the end. But in LMoP my group found a Magical Sword and a Staff of defense and we barely made 3rd level.

I think 5e is already low magic.

Let's take your example of Drizzt, which one could argue isn't a beastmaster ranger since he is using an extra cool magical item, but let's use it anyway. He probably is high enough level to have 3 attacks for every attack action. He can easily use one of those attacks for his offhand weapon...

If it's a big issue for you, make it either a bonus action or a replacement for a regular action like they have already.

I don't think it's a problem. They already lose an action to have the companion attack. With my idea, they lose a bonus action. My idea gives them an extra attack that is more powerful than just dual wielding. If they have to give up this bonus action to cast a spell then oh well. they...

I don't know about the rest of you but a big reason why I play D&D is the cool magical items and finding out what people do with them. Having everything default to low magic is a drag. I think part of that Eberron module should have been rules to play in a High magic setting.

I really dislike feats that fix problems. I think if you think it's a problem house rule it.
