I’m getting them on almost every page on my iPad Pro running Chrome. Not on my PC, also running Chrome. No extensions installed on iPad.

I’m commenting on the basic hitting ability. What happens after the hit is a different matter. Martials generally have no better chance to hit than pure spellcasters, given the same stats. A Dex 14 wizard can hit with a rapier just as well as a Dex 14 fighter.

One big problem is that the martial classes aren’t any better at hitting with weapons than the caster classes. Both use d20 + PB + stat mod. All classes can use Simple weapons. I’m not sure how to solve that.

How about centaurs, minotaurs, and half-ogres?

To riff off my earlier suggestion about horses, rather than horses getting larger maybe it was humans that got smaller to be better able to ride the small horses? Humans evolving to be smaller has happened in the real world with Homo Floresiensis.

Something I suggested in another thread was that in campaigns set in far antiquity halflings might be masters of the plains and cavalry as horses were too small for other races to ride, being limited to chariots. Maybe in your world horses never got larger and halflings still fill that niche?

I suppose it's a bit of an 'uncanny valley' effect.

I have Theros and as a classicist it just rubs me the wrong way. If you want a milieu based on mythical Greece then I urge you to find a copy of Hero Games Mythic Greece and adapt it for 5E.

Is this at all like The Folly from the Rivers of London series?

Yes, that feels good. That you can't use it yourself is actually a net positive: you can use it from safety. Sneak Attack with a melee weapon requires getting up and personal. In general, I like your ideas; I just think that they need a little toning down. If you were to base everything off...

I did indeed. I blame autocorrect.

It gets a feast at 10th level.

Only one of your attacks. And you get them before the BM. And you can spam them ad nausea. And you can use them in conjunction with BI and Increase Damage.

I think you should simplify Battlefield Insight - just have everyone start at 1d6 with a maximum number of dice equal to your Proficiency Bonus or levels in the class, whichever is lower. You can increase the die size at later levels, e.g 1d8 at 5th level. Improve Damage needs a bigger cost than...

If alignment isn't useful to you or relevant to your game, just toss it. Like they did in Xoth.

I remember a story in which stevedores had been replaced with undead and were causing trouble for the militia. The owners of the harbour were making money hand over fist - no wages to pay - until the necromancer controlling the undead revealed his other plans...

This is explored in the Navigators of Kulthea / Shadow World.

I really hope they reverse this. Rather, they should expand the use of the short rest by giving long-rest classes improved ability recovery on a short rest and diminished recovery on a long rest. For example see this.

Is one in a million (roughly) really so many? Remember that some of those will be liches and demiliches. Remember that many will be too far away, tied up in some potentate's court, exploring other planes, or otherwise inaccessible. Roman-era Britain had a population of about 3.5 million: are 3-4...

Upthread a Roman legion was mentioned. For me, the skirmishers would be levels 1-2, the legionaries level 2-3, centurions level 4-6, and the senior centurions levels 6-8. There would, of course, be the odd exception.
