I would have no problem with that. The problem I have is they can shrug it off even if they roll garbage. They can shrug it off even if they roll garbage twice in a row. Why bother rolling at all? Just give them legendary resistance. It may be the point but it was not fun in our game, YMMV

At high level the fighters indomitable blows away the Paladin Aura and the Monk proficiency. Those are reasonable, indomitable is not. +20 is a lot more than +6 and if you have a Paladin with a 22 Charimsa in the party in the party the Fighter is rocking a +26. Is there any save that high in...

Our experience wasn't so great. I think everyone at the table prefered the game experience with te 2014 fighter. YMMV The guy we who played the fighter in the first 2024 campaign disliked it so much he is playing a Wizard in the next game. He has previously played a Fighter, Paladin or...

Most of the time a 20th level fighter in 2024 will succeed on a 1. With indomitable, a 1 on the die is a 21 then you add proficiency, ability bonus or any magic item or spell buffs. With Mage Slayer, Indomitable and Heroic Warrior, I don't think the fighter in the campaign I just finished...

In 1E, fighters were generally the best at 15th to 20th level, although Magic-Users were better at level 21+ and better at low levels. Even so though they were not as good as high level fighters now. For example a fighter at 20th level in 1E saved against spells was a 6. This means they will...

I find it immersion breaking and so did the other players at our table. If saving throws just don't matter than what is the point.

No it is the +1d10 they can get from Tactical Mind. There are several issues with it, first off it is +5.5 on average which is more than proficiency until 17th level. Second you only use the resource if you succeed. What this means in play is Fighters without proficiency are better at...

It might work mechanically sometimes but the wording is a hot mess. Hiding makes you "invisible" and invisible means you can't been seen .... but to try to hide you need to be fully obnscured which means you can't be seen anyway .... then breaking cover does not break invisibility .... So RAW...

That is one of the complaints, another is the extremely high damage and a third is the skill system that lets them outshine dedicated skill classes at times.

Playing high-level D&D may not be the norm, but a lot of people do it. I have played a number of 1-20 campaigns in 5E and completed one 2-20 campaign using 2024. The one using 2024 was not that great, maybe they will get better, but the 5E ones were for the most part pretty awesome. In any...

IRL I have not come across anyone who complains about the imbalance. I come across players who mention it, but they all are either ok with it or in some cases actually prefer the imbalance. In the games I play I've actually heard more complaints about the new buffed fighter in 5 months of 2024...

When you say "slave" does that include summoned magically summoned sentient creatures? Most of them are essentially slaves.

This is what makes Gish-type character so attractive to me personally. They have both options and can go hard into melee. I am including Rangers and Paladins in that.

It has to be an illusion or Enchantment to trigger Beguiling Magic (and by extension Beguiling Twist). There aren't many of them that buff. Heroism I guess? But that is concentration, and I think I would rather concentrate on something else. There is mirror image too.

I am playing a multiclassed Fey Wanderer Ranger/Glamour Bard. I have 9 levels in Ranger and am wondering what enchantment or illusion spell I should pick up from Bard 3. I only have a 14 Charisma so the save DC on my Bard spells and Beguiling Magic is not great (DC 14), but I have a 20 Wisdom...

My advice is pay attention to the masteries. If our experience is common you will need to remind your players in the beginning.

Following are some details. A bit long, but it is a cool story for anyone with the time. It does feel truly epic. So when I did this there was a bit of a roleplay conflict going on between me and other party members, something that rarely happens. The rest of the party were supporting a...

Two of my 2020 campaigns have a Rogue-Paladin My I just finished a campaign with a PC that had Rogue and Paladin: Halfling Rogue 10/Paladin 1/Fey Warlock 8/Bard 1. She took the Paladin dip very early at level 2. She primarily used a Sortsword, Vicous Dagger and Rapier with Agonizing...

I have seen mostly the same in the two 2024 campaigns, one we played level 2-19 (did not finish last week like I thought, finishes this week), the other we are 11th level. We did similar on backgrounds, everyone either uses a 2014 or a custom. I have seen similar on almost everything you said...
