Don't think of it as Paladin without spells, think of it as "Fighter with some Paladin powers". Compare it to other types of Fighters and see if it seems balanced with them. This seems strictly better than a Battlemaster Fighter, for instance.

This one breaks the usual design rules but what about "Keen Senses - You never, ever have Disadvantage on any Perception check or on any Passive Perception."

Something else to consider is that most parties have someone on watch at all times. In my groups this is usually split up into four two hour watches. If there is going to be a nighttime random encounter I usually roll to see which watch it will be on. If the encounter is on the first or fourth...

The first game I ever played on a grid used one of those 1" dress pattern cutting boards as the grid. It worked pretty well but we had to keep it clean, so that the DM could give it back to his mother. Add a clear plastic sheet on top and dress pattern cutting boards still work pretty well for...

That was in the before times. It's turning into pick one. :(

What about Gamma World as a D&D setting, not as a separate game?

"Can", but won't; just as I "can" eat babies, but I won't.

Wasn't he the medic too? Maybe training in Medicine? Also, Tuck could read Latin, maybe add in another language?

I call dibs on TSR 4 to TSR infinity. I won't do anything with them; I'm just stopping any future bad actors from using them. [Yes, I know that "call dibs" is not a recognized legal concept in this area, I'm being sarcastic.]

Or you could just 1) Reduce the price of a spyglass to 100 GP in your world and only then 2) give them a spyglass. This way the most they can sell it for is 50GP, and that should not break any campaign.

I'd handle it as a Madness with a difficult Save against, just like Madness from encountering Demon Princes and the like. If older Dragons are powerful enough to alter an area with Lair effects than they're powerful enough to affect characters minds,

"Living like a Rock-star" is 10Gp per day, so even one million GP's will last less than 274 years. Therefore elves are going to need to be the greediest.

No, I was being serious. I think that bards are too powerful as is, but making them half casters would make them too week. A three quarters caster would top out with 7th level spells at L17, just as a half caster gets L5 spells at L17. (The Bards L8 spell Glibness is pretty cool, I would keep...

I would like to see more (probably most) spells scale, not just the damage spells. Most up-cast protective spells would probably have longer durations, and not greater effect; so a L9 Shield spell still gives only +5 AC, but it lasts for 9+ full rounds. Oh, and a much better index.

Played? Maybe 1,000 hours. Ran? Maybe 2,500 hours. Prepped to run? Maybe 1,000 hours. Read? Maybe 1,000 hours. This is starting in late 1978.

For them to finally realize that this is a setting for novels and not a setting for gaming. It's always been too railroady and too restrictive and modern gamers hate, hate, hate both of those. But if they really have to do it, than they should use the Devotion rules from Theros to measure...

That's why we need the three-quarters caster bard, the perfect compromise between two weak and too strong. (If we can have quarter casters like Arcane Trickster and half casters like Paladin than we can have three quarters casters too).

They can smite on any hit but that's just a trick to get Paladins to waste their smites. Maximum damage output per day requires that you only use it on a 20.

Disclaimer - Answers may be broader than original question Ranger - rewrite the basic Ranger to not have spells (and to be a bit more powerful). Include Expertise in Nature or Survival at Tier 3 and in both by Tier 4. Create sub classes that do have spells in a manner similar to Arcane...

He listened to the 2000 remix of "Tracks and Lines" in 1994? Wow, I guess D&D really is magic.
