That's been an optional rule since the beginning, but the default is +1 per level. You forgot to count healing surges / hit dice. 4e got 9+Con mod healing surges, worth 1/4 your HP each. 5e Fighter has maybe 500HP a day, including hit dice and second wind. 4e Fighter would have closer to...

It is. In 4e, it would be more like +6 to hit vs 37 AC wizard. You would get +1 every level, and 4e to level 30. So 5e goblins hit a max level fighter 300% more. Also each hit does more % or total health. Note, Pathfinder 2e does the +1 per level scaling. If you want like a bigger power...

Goblins have 15 AC Ogres have 11AC Still need to aim, but not as accurately.

Pulling the trigger isn't the part that takes time. Aiming takes time (and reloading)

Yea, but I really nerfed the THP, so removing effects is the main benefit of using channel divinity. Especially at higher levels. Also, it only ends effects at the End of your turn. So getting hit with Hypnotic Pattern or Fear will still cost your allies a turn. Just not multiple of turns...

Just reduce the numbers. IMO: 1: 30' darkvision, or increase it by 30" if you already have it. Can still share it. Same advantage on initiative CD: Temporary hit points equal to half your cleric level. 6: Fly until the end of your next turn. 17: is fine as is. All the same features, just...

Generally no restrictions, and I will do light homebrewing if a player has a particular idea that want to play (i.e. acid sorcerer gets acid fireball). It's rare but I have banned something for setting specific reasons. I.e. I ran a dwarf vs elf war. Players had to pick a side. They picked...

They definitely didn't think of every combination in 2014. So a lot of Sage Advice was "I guess we did write it that way". I mean, your comparing maybe 10 people who wrote it vs hundreds of thousands who look for exploits. The 10 are going to lose. They do a better job with 2024, as you...

Depends on the race I guess, but that sounds reasonable. But still seems easier to do feats with level prerequisites. Or racial Epic Boon

I think feats fit 5e better. We already have elven accuracy. Adding in a Dragonborn Improved Breath feat would be easy. Having 1-3 level prestige class could also work, but I wouldn't force it. Also i would spread it out, not have it all be the first few levels.

Right, but I go a bit further. If your swapping to acid, you get acid. An acid sorcerer doesn't get to keep lighting bolt. (Maybe a storm theme can do thunder and lighting). Cantrips can still be non-acid. I want to encourage thematic characters, but not just swapping fire for acid because...

I already let my players do some damage swaps for thematic reasons.

Once they get deflect attack monks are already slightly tanky. Just don't get surrounded.

Kinda. 4e did that with minions. But they ended up with. Boss ogre for lower levels, normal ogre for mid levels, and minion ogre for high levels. Which was pretty awkward. So with 5e they wanted to keep AC and to-hit a lot more restrained. Now a goblin can still stab a level 20 fighter.

That video was for old 2014. 2 cantrips (no attack) is for the new 2024 rules. But I agree it's not broken either way. You have slightly higher damage, but lower other stuff.

Jeremy said it worked in this video. No sage advice for 2024, but IMO, it works too. Bladesinger let's you replace one attack. EK lets you replace one attack. So you can replace 2 attacks with 2 cantrips.

Sentinel, world tree, grapple, shield master, ect... Which means parties are now going to be 80% small. Like, who doesn't want a free +1 AC?

So every tank is now small... Why not just Small: cannot use 2 handed weapon.

I don't think taking 1 damage away from a rogue is going to do much. Just do it your first way. Tiny, but can't have more than 10 Str. No extra bonus (still get the gnome saves). You have your flavorful penalty, and it doesn't hurt game balance.
