    D&D 5E (2024) Martial vs Caster: Removing the "Magical Dependencies" of high level.

    i don’t think it’s an issue it’s not the best 4th level soell I mean banishment is just a better save or lose spell and evards is a better control spell Charm monster and the new summon spells can just give you another fighter.

    Again this is “cater around the casters” If you’re playing with a 15th level fighter and 15th level rogue a warrior is fine as an end bad guy. If you are playing with a 15th level warcleric and 12 level hexblade/3rd level paliden well banishment will end that figh so better give your end bad...

    That sounds good but you can spruce it up. You already said in this post you want them to be the SG1 equivalent who wants to over throw the evil pantheon. So maybe something like “I want you to know that the gods you wireship and that control your lives are more or less evil but up until now you...

    Focus on your initial plot hook and come up with 1 or 2 more. Then worry about what your players say BUT be ready to improvise and switch if you need to.

    This is great advice if that is what the players are looking for but she is doing this for an “always DM” and no one else wanted to step up so I doubt they want to work that much on this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you see Fighter players at your own table?

    What it tells me is that she was right in another thread to say it is pretty even split. She was just wrong to call it 10% it was closer to 20-25% on each side

    There is no one right answer. I think you are doing well with your bullet points and lomits However if you want an example of the other way I will tell you about the Kobold Kill Squad My buddy pitched it to us not as a DM but as a player “I want to play a kobold fighter but what if we ALL...

    That is complex but both. You need a bar and a kobold cave before you can give an NPC in the bar a hook for the kobold cave. BUT also you need a reason why you are making a bar. 3 hooks is a great rule of thumb. If you are going to use them or not doesn’t matter each location you plan on...

    D&D 5E (2024) Should Wish be an Epic boon?

    If anything that shows the problem. A spell a wizard or sorcere can cast every day at 17th is not something that should be better then things you can’t get till 20th

    Anyone can DM do not be afraid. You got this. Trust me everyone that has ever run a great game has also run a “omg why did I try that it fell apart” game. All you need is to keep trying.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should Wish be an Epic boon?

    I would not say typical but I see no reason not to give it as an option. Remeber you have your choice to take other boons if you don’t think this fits your character.

    I have to ask how is a sword bard war cleric or hexblade not a good bonus to melee good hp AND have spells of a level equal to half there level?

    100%. When people get used to at will and major numbers of slots and the like taking them away seems like punishment.

    Having multiple classes. Even if the one I want gets put in an optional book I feel is the best option. To be honest I want an arcane half caster martial class a warlord and a sword sage alongside the fighter.

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial vs Caster: Removing the "Magical Dependencies" of high level.

    Oh that was our 2e and 3e norm. People (especially my bestie Becky) want to play martial heroes. So DMs bent over backwards to make them extra relivent. The problem is the creative player. It’s the green lantern issue. Tell a player the ring can do anything but it won’t kill. “Oh by...
