It's no surprise people don't realize how potent it is as it's not a simple number and you get it from something as trivial as the enemy being prone. Despite that it's a bigger benefit than you gain from your proficiency bonus by going from level 1 to level 20!

That explains all the poop. One more year before the terrible twos.

I think the last time this got pointed out it was mentioned to go with the DMG values. The difficulties of the higher level creatures is a total mess however. For instance the Empyrean is a big bag of HP that only offers any sort of threat if you are really careful with how you use it's...

Mercenary soldiers like The Black Company might fit. Try to do as little of the fighting as possible, be effective when you do fight, always make sure you end up with the loot. Maybe some survival/tracking type abilities, some fighter abilities and some social bard abilities along with better...

Why would a wind duke, who mostly fly around and beat up demons and chaos, have a weird weapon like a flail? Anyway, how about it does an additional d6 damage when used to smite demons.

Lots of better games out there, including 5.5 other editions of D&D and D&D clones like Hackmaster and Pathfinder, no need to force them to do something they don't want.

Yeah, nice thread necro. He's talking about the playtest, numbers are all wrong etc.

Generally most fun for the group is what the expert designers intended, which is what the OP was asking, not what your houserules are. Saying "ignore all the rules, have fun" is an entirely useless comment. This isn't a case of something being broken, there is nothing to be "fixed" here to be...

Have it only apply to the first attack in a round. You aren't going to be seeing double 1s or double 20s much, and when you do it is likely to be on some random kobold no one cares about. Advantage is already almost doubling your crit chances, I don't think you really need to enhance that...

Having your bow string snap 5% of the time is pretty high. Having it snap almost twice as often because the opponent is in the dark or fog so is giving disadvantage doesn't make much sense, nor does being in a rage or attacking a prone target making your weapons almost never break from...

You're welcome. Now in the future you'll have more fun.

You can't have deadly fights with random initiative as it is a way of randomly making fights harder and will too often turn a deadly fight into a TPK. Without a mechanic like Savage World's benny system to soak hits when team monster goes back to back it's very easy to butcher a D&D party where...

I like how level 1-3 are apprentice levels so the free interns who carry your torch, polish your armor and make the coffee also are able to keep the party blessed and toss healing word to stand unconscious people back up.

WotC is busy giving them higher AC with things like Mariner. Advantage would only double the hit rate if they were getting hit only on a 20. At 50% hit rate it is only a 50% increase in hits. If only all attacks were physical or psychic and if only the damage output of both were the...

Seriously no one in this thread knows what people do with eggs? The kingdom has to have some 3 star restaurants around that will hand you a bag of gold, shake your hand and ask you to keep 'em coming. They'll turn that egg into 100 500GP omelettes.

3 levels of sorcerer and you can fire cure spells 30 feet. Because a dragon had it's way with your ancestor.

Their original intention was that you could use 2 hand crossbows, which is why they made it light, the definition of light being "good for using with 2 weapons." It isn't original intent, they have changed their mind on hand crossbows because they realized they're too good. Yes, human...

The problem isn't the healing, it's the half damage. At higher levels a barbarian has a lot of HP. Double that and you have so many HP that barbarians can solo CR 24 monsters without dropping. Healing Word's efficiency or changing the efficiency of healing while rage is up doesn't matter.

But not a weapon attack.

Half-Orc "savage attacks" only lets you reroll the weapon's damage dice, so doesn't work. There are a whole bunch of similar issues, Sneak Attack for instance.
