Why? Stoneskin significantly ameliorates a spellcaster's primary weakness: relatively few HP. That should carry a heavy cost. And I urge you to think about how it can be abused. Consider, for instance, a Fighter with Heavy Armour Mastery using the standard spell (perhaps via an item), then...

One was featured in one of the early collections of short stories. It had managed to refine something it called Gnomium and then from that created something it called Plus-Gnomium...

It's weird. It's wild. It's wacky. It's an interesting concept. Go for it!

Why would it need balancing?

A small restriction should be that the user of a non-magical chair can only wield a one-handed weapon or a shield in close combat, but not both. The person in the chair needs one hand on the weapon or shield and one on the wheel of the chair to manoeuvre.

I fear the swinginess with such disparity. Have you looked at using a much lower CR monster but adding the Mythic trait from Theros? Basically a one-off instant regeneration from death. Or perhaps eight-off for a feline!

You don't need to. Spear + Shield + PAM + Duelling style works just fine. Yes, you do a base of (1d6 +2) + (1d4 +2) damage, but that's fine. Giving an additional +2 per attack would give +4.

I thought these were supposed to be advanced styles, not ones you took at low levels.

Not Divination, but Teleport might be a better option than Simulacrum.

Perhaps the Foresight might be permanent? Would she really have Simulacrum memorised for an encounter? And I'm not seeing any great escape spells. Should the recharge for Foreshadow be 'casts a spell of 1st level or higher'?

It's still an add. It's still stealing class features. On top of any other bonuses. What if a Paladin takes this? Does she get both adds to damage? And those include the Quarterstaff and Spear, both of which can benefit from Polearm Mastery, and the Spear can benefit from the Duelling style to...

Sorry but that's a whole heap of No for many reasons. Principally because you're stealing / obviating class features (e.g. the Paladin who doesn't get to add radiant damage to a normal attack until level 11) or fighting styles (Prowling Wolf) or violating KISS or - like in particular your last...

That doesn't sound like fun.

This is Not Fun. Don't do it.

Don't forget dual wielding throwing daggers + Sharpshooter + Archery (+ TWF at later levels)

Rather than foreign diplomats, how about them being younger courtiers, say of different (loyal) nobles, eager to make an impression (to gain notice and preferment), who have separately - and unbeknownst to each other - been advised of a possible assassination attempt? For example, one PC might...

The Hit Points don't seem right. The clamp and chain attack: did you mean 30 / 90 feet? That asphalt attack should be lingering - take damage every turn until you make your save. Nice to see Legendary Resistance made a Legendary Action.

RIP Your Majesty. Long live the king!

But what if you were a medieval peasant?

But your typical medieval peasant would have years of experience using them, though not necessarily in a martial context.
