Oh I HATE the 1d&d attempt to make every class feature a spell.

I still don’t understand how they are spells in this edition at all.

Oh my. Can you imagine the outrage a wizard would have at being told they could only learn X number of spells. Let’s look at a 9th level fighter and compare to a 5th level wizard RAW Fighter gets a fighting style action surge second wind extra attack and indomitable. So let’s say that...

To be less wordy the problem was when they WoTC editions took more and more restrictions off casters.

Can you imagine a game where you are a 6th level wizard, and you just went up to 7th. You know r the he main enemy hates most spell casters and have none in their army. Can you imagine that? Now think about how every time you put up a wall of force they have no way to get it down. I am not...

Oh. Good one. I don’t normally thing of that with games but that is a great use.

To quote Ben Grim “I’m starting to thing there never was a real Dr Doom”

Simulacrum Is a problem. I can’t understand why it still is a spell.

Paliden and Artificer (I will leave ranger out due to some issues) have a unique space where as a half caster with cool features so they can more or less keep up most times with full casters while not over loading the non casters anywhere near as much. As much as I dislike the new warlock in...

I do things like give second wind to make a monster FEEL like a fighter during the fight.

I needed counter spell and a hood breatheeapon would not hurt.

Did you see the tarasque comparison earlier in the thread. That beast is a joke. I once took the stats of it and made a medium version (no change to HD hp or attacks and damage) and called it “an Armageddon beast” and my 9th level party had a real issue fighting it. Took everything they had...

I mean as it stands when one class is brought down to another it may seem that way. I just broke out my copy and am reading through it now.

My 2e and even 3e experience was most maybe 40-60% of casters had 1 list of spells and then would swap out 1 or 2 spells on odd days Some larg minority like maybe 20% tops would have 2-3 lists and label them “dungeon day” “town day” “travel day” or something like that and still swap out the...

I don’t have much 1e experience I joined this ride in2e. However I remember more than one really powerful mage that got dropped due to a bad roll or two. It wasn’t until a ways into 3e maybe even 3.5 that casters were being seen in my games as Star stealers.

Gotcha

I’m not sure I would want 2e back. But I will say it didn’t feel as much like there was a huge power difference. Yeah wizards and clerics COULD get powerful but the limits where there

My understanding was that the book was balanced internal as long as you didn’t have outside class and subclasses. This intrigues me

I’m very shocked. I have never heard a complaint about useing the AiM book as just those classes being unbalanced.

What would you change about their bard? What about there ranger is off? If you are afraid of speaking badly I will starts. They have a dumb barbarian subclass that lets you where heavy armor then lets you add dex. The healing in the scholar make little sense mechanically or narratively.
