it would be a nice and easy counter, but I think it also has a forcefield floor.

it's a 3rd level spell to defeat a 3rd level spell. seems about right. and if PCs are waiting inside, more and more opponents have time to gather around it and wait in ambush. I have more problem with it that it removes Survival challenges for finding a shelter, but if you are running that...

it's not powerful, it requires intelligence to defeat it. it's a safe haven vs mindless beasts.

you put that as ground floor where one PC is on guard and 1st floor above you make an empty room for bedrolls. 4-5 people can sleep in empty 10by10ft room.

https://dnd.arkalseif.info/spells/complete-arcane--55/leomunds-hidden-lodge--460/ this can be reworked as 3rd level spell in 5E, ritual. just change fixed survival DC30 to spell save DC. shelter can be found, it can be broke in, it can be destroyed.

I'm considering changing second wind and it's effect on skill because of this reason. I do not want fighter to outskill a rogue in possible High DCs at any tier level. but I do not want Second wind to be useless in roleplay/exploration. and I kind of like rogues reliable talent so one solution...

I have been to apartments with security doors, and only thing that was worth the effort to steal from those apartments was the door. sometimes the security it self is worth more than the price of stuff you have at home.

well, it depends on the base damage and how much scaling is of HPs of opponents. spirit guardian as AoE over time might be ok with just +1D increase, maybe with +2D for 6th and 9th level spell slot. it's especially bad comparing to utility/control spells. fly from 3rd to 4th level gets +100%...

one situation about Leomunds tiny hut. we used it once to take a break with clearing a huge goblin lair. goblins could not get in OFC, but the did pile up wood and oil on it. then a goblin shaman came with a grin on his face and a piece of paper and written on it with bad common writing was...

upcasting for damage spells is horrible in 5E. 3rd level fireball is good at level 5, 4th level fireball is weak at level 7, much better spells to spend that 4th level slot. upscaling needs a boost for damage spells, with extra boost at 3rd, 6th and 9th spell level slots. IE: Fireball: 1st...

few solutions for Concentration: 1. you can concentrate on amount of spell levels equal to your highest spell slot you can cast. I.E. 17th level caster can concentrate on one 9th level spell, nine 1st level spells, 3 3rd level spells or any combination up to 9 levels. when you lose...

just limit full casters to 1/2 character level/round up. that sorts most of the things

while I like the flavor of prestige classes requirement, it should NEVER be implemented in mechanics of getting the class. Unless you are running option of needing a trainer for every level up. some prestige classes "need" an organization and some don't in description, but it's unfair for the...

I used that spell for one session, it kills any suspense in the game, changed it for next session at my own request. there are uses for the spell like having a drone to spy on an army, but it kills dungeon crawls. @OP; wait till players realize that they can throw corpses of enemies on a...

I would keep abilities for ability checks and general description of a character.

add half prof bonus to non proficient saves.

maybe not, maybe that is just not thinking what your PCs need. but why would you give bunch of magic items no one will use? just give a sack of gold/gems then. it's the same thing. sure, now and then you can give item that has sense for NPC that is set against the party, but not throw those...

I make characters under assumptions that DM will not be a jerk.

Masteries are OK, good idea, but they could have been better as I mentioned in OP.

unless we are talking about this kind of experiment, I have not seen a fighter take Defense style with anything unless focused on 2Handed melee as GWF style is complete rubbish. and if planning of playing battlemaster, you will take the style for extra maneuver and dice.
