    What solution for "Cantrips don't feel magical"?

    I played with a friend, who played 5e for the first time and he was completely smitten and felt very magical and powerful, because he could cast Light over and over again, to the point I had to Presdigitate - soil his stuff just so he would stop casting Light on my stuff constantly Does not...

    Is it just me or is the spell Rope Trick kind of absurd?

    Oh don't worry, Leomund's Tiny Hut is just around the corner and that is the proper abuse material.

    DMs! Have you ever had a “boss encounter” turn into a cakewalk? What happened?

    there are no CR 9 beasts, and only 1 CR8, 7 and 6 beasts in the official material, so that would require some homebrewing I think polymorph is limited enough resource (lvl 20 wizard has only 3 lvl4 spell castings), that it should be powerful, big bads have legendary saves for that

    False truisms in 5th edition

    not to harp too much on this, but shouldn't the 18-20 mean 15% crit chance, and thus using your formula be 67.5 total, 3.375 per swing and 0.45 difference (almost double of what you have) not that is really makes up to the extra damage die anyway

    in addition, with Xanathar, both cleric and wizard will be tolling the dead most of the time them having weapons is more an aesthetic choice, unless you have warcaster, you still will need an empty hand for casting

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Feat Option = D&D On Easy Mode?

    I don't know about you, but most guides advise to take ASI before any feats, so you could say that rolling for stats and getting that 18-20 main stat at level 1 is way more impactful than allowing feats - and rolling is the first thing that the rules offer you to do (on the other hand, I pretty...

    Highest level spell combos

    As nice as that would be, you should know by now that BBEG Solo fights (especially against 6 characters) just don't work. At least then it wouldn't be random mooks but copies of himself. Anyway, using control spells like forcecage on the melee damage and maze on the non-int caster should help...

    Highest level spell combos

    It would not be out of this world idea that Acerarak could have a simulacrum or two of himself. Then you have several high level spellcasters wrecking the party, just the initial round of forcecage or maze (most "optimized" characters will dump INT, so that should be a fun one) should be enough...
