Your valuable responses have got me wondering whether 4-5 max would be more manageable. This would spare some time for an hourly ritual cast of phantom steed and give that poor wizard a few minutes for snacks... Managing 2-3 disks would be easy. This is what got me thinking more about the...

So one wizard sits on a pony, horse, phantom steed, broom of flying, carpet of flying or other moving thing and ritual casts a succession of floating disks. Hopefully, this can be done so that subsequent disk can replace those preceding. Other ritual casters sit on these floating disks and...

Mau Glee, my raised by wolves, Chultan, halfling barb3/druid6/cleric1, was flavourfully suboptimal. For optimisation it would have been better to have stuck to 14 dex, sought a breast plate (over than Kiplingesk nakedness), gone for a single weapon rapier (over clawlike, dual wielded...

omg, that's awesome. You hit while raging to give disadvantage via ancestral protectors. Even without swashbuckler, you can cunning action disengage leaving opponents with disadvantage and (barb5) even go, try and hit someone else. (Allies next to the hit opponent or who can get next to them...

We also read that "The servant springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range." Words such as "that you can see"... don't appear so, RAW, cast the ritual on one side of a locked door while getting your friends to occupy nearby spaces on your side of it and just hope...

Sure and, if an interpretation would fit the requirements of rules as fun, go for it. There's still plenty you can do with RAW. While the unseen servant is mindless, perhaps it's fair to consider that the servant's "best of its ability" may (in non-strength-related ways) be better than a...

With int 13 you could start with 3 levs of artificer for hulk smash gauntlets. They would give opponents disadvantage in hitting anyone but you and, if you don't reckless, they wouldn't have advantage on you. A real taunt tank, Banner style. =D With bugbear you could hit opponents to give them...

"Unseen Servant ... creates an invisible, mindless, shapeless force that ... has AC 10 [and] 1 hit point". Is there any way to give it temp hp?

That's more of an extreme buff than a rewrite. You might as well expect the servant to fly.

But only in performing light duties on one thing at a time. " It has ... a Strength of 2, and" can "interact with an object".

Unseen servant Why do you suppose that the directions can be complex? It says, "Once on each of your turns as a bonus action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object." I wouldn't allow directions beyond: "fetch x", "clean X", "mend X", "fold X"...

Something far better than happens to many people as they get old. (but this isn't really the topic of the thread).

I could say that a zombie "doesn't take initiative on its own". I could also say it was mindless. Either way, it can still obey instructions, at least "to the best of its ability".

very true.

The spell is telling us that "The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine," and that, "Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its...

Unseen servant is an example of something that, "... can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine."
