Ahh, I assumed Tough was relevant since he left it in the quote, but that makes more sense. Also, no wonder War Caster is so popular, all three of its bonuses matter!

Tough doesn't help with Concentration saves though. Are you thinking of Resilient (Con)?

I'd certainly excuse you for that being your first thought, but surely you realize this isn't the only possibility? I picked this example because I knew it is polarizing. Personally I love the flavor baked into the Warlock's pact, but if I had a player that had made a Warlock and played out the...

Because it's a fun game? I also play a bunch of flash card RPGs and have a lot of fun with them, but sometimes I want to play something more mechanically complex and I have a couple players that wouldn't even attempt to learn such a game, yet happen to have acquired a good foundation of...

You bring up an excellent point here, which is why I would like to clarify my position. I only support refluffing where the crunch and fluff make sense together. If you have been a Wizard for most of the campaign, but want to take a 1 level dip in Sorcerer, and want to write your new spells off...

If you tell me that you're playing a Paladin then I would expect you to play them like a Paladin because you just told me that you are a Paladin like it is central to the character's identity. That's perfectly fine, but I don't think this needs to be the case for all characters. You can even...

I would totally allow my players to refluff races/classes as each other if it helps them make the character concept they want to make. You tout the strengths of a class based game, but don't list any; I wish you would have, as none are apparent to me. I disagree. The lore tells us what Paladins...

Who said anything about the game just being mechanical effects? What I want is to write my character in whatever way makes the best story, as opposed being presented the dilemma of "Take an entirely unnecessary mechanical penalty or insert contrivances into your story so that you fit the...

Honestly I've seen the opposite problem. Whenever the topic of multiclassing comes up around here, I see a lot of "I allow multiclassing, but only if they have a story reason to." Why? If I'm a paladin, and I wanna take levels in Warlock, why can't I just take the mechanical benefits of the...

Absolutely. But the point is that the DM's right to veto what they want goes without saying. I agree with you on just about everything here. I'm happy you posted this though, because it helped me find the phrasing I was looking for. I suppose what is baffling me here is that people here have...

This. If this thread was "PSA: Humans are core" people would be like "Yeah, and...?" But since it is something that seems like it should be a variant, people are responding with the equivalent of "So you are trying to sneak/force a standard human character into your game without specifically...

In this case Spontaneous = Known, since you don't have to prep them. I realize it's an out of date term, but I figured people could put together my meaning from context; am I mistaken? That's the thing though: Since the Wizard gets more prepared spells than Sorcs get known spells, they could...

Does it though? Wizards can prepare their choice of spells from a great list every day and can ritual cast spells they don't even have prepared. The Sorcerers pick spells from an okay-ish list (unless Divine Soul) and get to change their spells out 1-at-a-time only upon level up. Wizards are SO...

Furthermore, to my knowledge Suggestion has no effect that I would call "instantaneous".

If I am not mistaken, one of the DMG tools for estimating DPR says assume it hits 2 targets.

Not with that attitude! :p

The exact wording says they can't be on the same turn without making any mention of order, but I admit it is definitely phrased less intuitively than it could be.

My comment there was because GFB is not a melee spell attack. I do, however, believe the restriction on bonus action spells is retroactive, but I don't have evidence on me at the moment so I can only be 90% certain.

Might wanna double check that GFB spell description.

Can't use this spell the same turn as a bonus action spell, because it isn't a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action. I also think it's just a little strong and would nerf it a bit; make it 4th level, or make it Sorc exclusive, or something like that. Otherwise fine, and probably not game...
