I recall looking into 4e shortly after starting with 5e, and mostly being turned off by the power presentation being so different. I've been thinking of giving the PHB another go recently, but I've heard a lot that the math was all broken on release, so never really felt like it was worth the...

A blue whale. Only on land though.

I found Cowboy Bebop pretty boring.

The true use for Monks: use Evasion to dodge the shrapnel, Deflect Missiles to block the cannonballs, then stunlock whoever is firing.

I've only played high-level 5e in a westmarch, so mostly one-shots. Was pretty fun, but kinda ridiculous, monsters were pretty much all homebrew, and had insane abilities. One of them was like: Magic Resistance, Legendary Resistance, the normal stuff. Legendary Action teleport. 31 AC at base...

I do find it odd how weak most are, so I guess they're mostly ribbons. They could be useful in a situation where bringing weapons would be innapropriate, like in a temple, or fancy dinner/party, but the hosts asking you to cut off your claws would be rude. Edit: I like the idea of extra...

It's the armor that is causing the miss, when it can't realistically do much to stop the blow, if anything it'd just hinder you by making it harder to dodge (and there are moments where you just can't dodge at all, if you're paralyzed or stunned, for example). Maybe big attacks like that should...

I don't think I've seen anything in 5e beating the Simulacrum chain, maybe some of the Magic Jar/Nystul's Aura shenanigans, but it seems more sketchy.

When nerfing abilities for realism, I always think of something going like this: DM: "The Storm Giant swings his gargantuan hammer . . . for 16 to hit." Fighter: "My 18 AC plate blocks that, I'm good." DM: "Wait, how is your non-magical plate helping against a hammer the size of a bus hitting...

Mostly if it's an obviously overpowered exploit (Simulacrum chain, coffeelock, etc), for stuff just on the moment. If I just really dislike it, then I can make it clear from the start, but probably not deny it mid-game.

Thread reminded me of this:

People can definitely keep playing games they find an unbalanced mess (ask any League of Legends player).

One more reason to not have Multiclassing.

I imagine deleting Ki and making Stunning Strike once per turn would help things out quite a bit, my experience with Monk is that Ki runs out super quickly even by mid levels. At worst for the base class, they'll get to reroll saves and be invisible forever at high levels, which should be fine...

I do believe Monks have gigantic issues and might be the weakest class, but I've also seen DMs rage several times about how they're busted, mostly against one big enemy who gets unlucky, or a hit and run foe who gets chased down and stunlocked. I can definitely see how certain playstyles will...

Definitely supernatural, you can't be mundane and be expected to run into melee against giants, dragons or fiery demons, although I don't think you need an explicit power source, they can just train a lot and do impossible stuff like you see often in fiction (like Batman and other superheroes...

The party Cleric summoned some invisible angels to stealthily do everything for the Fighter, so they wouldn't feel bad about themselves.

The incapacitated condition also disables Legendary Actions, the MM mentions it.

The beauty of it is that a Monk, Rogue or Ranger with the Evasion ability can actually just stand next to a barrel of dynamite and dodge the whole explosion without cover or moving.

Those are some tall dwarves.
