Yes... but... because classes are not used in the game in isolation, always tied to race and backgrounds, the fact that a class is less versatile in one area than another is less critical if they can gain function in those gaps in backgtound or race. Sure a mate can have spells to help with...

Anyway, just to see how funny the responses get... Shcroedinger The Wizard of Nowhere Forest Gnome – Minor Illusion Cantrip, Dark Vision, Gnome Cunning, Speak with Small Beasts Background – Marshall – Investigation +5, Survival+4 , Herbalism kit, Elven, Watcher’s Eye Abilitiy Scores (Point...

"The wizards probably not going to have a drastic amount if rituals over a warlock at least early on." Drastic amount as defined by... Schroedinger? Not that i have argued they would but just wondering how we determine the difference between a dratic amount and just say a significant amount or...

I find sighs to more often represent weariness or boredom - at having to repeat a point again being one such case. Yiu have never seen someone sigh over anything but condescension? That's very different from my ecperiende, to be sure.

Sigh... again because it seems you missed it - the first arguement that was put forth was Warlock slotting unseen gave it an edge up because the wizard would only ritual it. My counter was if it was seen as beneficial, the wizard could do it. The second argument was that put by ou that wizards...

How do you get to "while witch bolt is 13 damage 100% of the time on subsequent damage at 3rd level. " Witch bolt is 1d12. If you uptick it, it only gains extra d12 on the initial shot not subsequent ones. Is this yet another campaign specific tweak or assumption that helps lead to favorable...

Re wizards prepping rituals... "My point was there's no reason to and that's why the wizard wouldn't do it." But then you are just wrong. The issue was brought up by others due to how having the option to cast Unsern Servant as a slot in 1 action not as a ritual has advantages - including not...

You can compare anything to anything. You just might not get convincing results. But in general picking two features out of classes with quite different combos of features and comparing them is faulty. Wsrlocks dont just get EB and Diviners dont just get Portent. It's the overall packages and...

But, what is being ignored are the following... HEX last longer at higher level is right, even past short rest - long as you dont do rituals st all during that time and that whole book of secrets for more casting then falls out a bit. Matter of fact, when one factors owls for advsantage into...

In camspaigns where all the above are true, all the assumptions are true, where the warlocks and wizards are built by you and judged by your specs and value- I have no doubt in the accuracy of your conclusion. But from a broader scope of cherries than that, it's not necessarily the case. For...

This is the point most worth noting in this imo... "Unless you have a wizard subclass that adds 4 cantrips wizard are behind based on class potential." No, not really, it shows they have different counts on numbers of cantrips. Different classes have that all over the place. Not just in...

Ok so use std array for comparison but the warlock gets rolled, ok. I like how you focus on damage output details while quoting my observation about overvaluing combat damage output. Again, I now agree, in the campaign condition you choose to limit it to, in the rules you choose to employ and...

Well not seeing rules in detail prevents an exact conclusion but yes the more different reset rates and resource vs time cases the rules allow then the more varied and different types of scene and encounters you can present. Currently in 5e I can have a case where between long rests the...

It strikes me that it would lead to more forum threads about the 5 minute work hour and how the short rest mechanics are limiting fiction, breaking immersion, too easy to overpower scenes and basically almost all of the issues we have now - including the "balance" between "no rest" abilities and...

But, as others have pointed out, the mechanics do work in other placings- even in the ones you seem to not prefer. Every combo of "these are the mechanics" and "these are the preferences I have for what I want it to feel like" will greatly limit the types of adventures you can bring to life...

"2. Grant proficiency bonus to all saves. This prevents the "auto fail save" issue at higher levels; against an even-level foe, high stats save a lot, low stats save little, and it doesn't get worse." I have a question - just a question not more - why does having the possibility of having an...

So, should the thread be titled "Solving MY 5MWD." if the solutions are specifically to be geared to support the specific fictional environment that you prefer?

"This heavily benefits those classes that only have "daily" resources. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, really." Thar depends on the specifics. If a fighter goes from one action surge between short rests to one between long rests plus the ability to spend 2hd (maybe more maybe less)...

Actually, that's funny. From my own experience fpthere are serious differences in what AND means depending in context and explanations. You seem to be using what I call the database AND where the statement "A and B" requires both A and B to both be true. But for non-developers a more...

The OP said "Suggests that the only way the goblin will survive is if he throws the sword back". Was that changed in a later post to be lacking the "he" part and replace it with "somebody"?
