I mean, Firebolt does say that it ignites flammable objects that aren't worn or carried. I think people are glossing over that part. It's still a goofy idea most of the time, but I get why the confusion occurred.

It does less damage than whacking the door with an axe, and would take a really​ long time to burn a door to ash. Also it would be incredibly unstealthy due to light/heat/sound/smell. Pretty terrible idea most of the time, all things considered. Easier and faster to kick it in, stealthier to...

All I came to say is, you aren't being a bad DM and shouldn't ​feel bad about having the problem. Stuff like this is a real pain and can really mess up a game.

Ranger, no doubt.

Yeah I think a low to moderate power X-Men style game is the beast/easiest way to go.

1) Superhero movies haven't increased the sales of the comics they are based on. 2) RPGs are niche, but superhero stuff is decently popular in that niche. There have been a fair amount produced over the years. 3) The genre conventions of superhero comics are difficult to build mechanics...

I don't care what they call them, but I definitely think shapeshifter and nature magic guy are both worthy of full classes. Animal companions should have nothing to do with a specific class.

Six out of eighteen is "many?"

I mean, they clearly were.

For the record... 18 feats. 4 of them deal with bonus actions.

Oh I didn't mean to imply double proficiency isn't a great feature. But at the end of the day, its just more numbers. Double proficiency kind of like the skill version of the +10/-5 combat feats. And that to me is pretty boring. But if Brawny is for grapplers, why isn't it called Improved...

Yeah, its not your fault. The design of these spells is very clumsy and not fun at the table.

Well, you have another big problem- proficiency in a skill isn't by itself a huge bonus, making being trained in a skill not really very impressive. Especially at lower levels. These feats do solve that.

They all share a +1 Ability Score and proficiency/double proficiency. These are solid but boring numerical bonuses that really limit what the rest of the feat can do. Acrobat- If your DM uses difficult terrain I think this is useful. But really pretty dull. Animal Handler- Okay. Though I'm...

Yeah, that's why a wide level range and a sandbox don't really work.

It's always shocking to me how many people that are hardcore into D&D also seem to hate many of it's component parts. "I love D&D! But I hate dwarves, monks, halflings, bards, dragonborn, bastard swords, vancian magic, dark elves, regular elves, color coded dragons, feats, pencils and paper."

How are they sillier than most of the other stuff in the game? Music magic has way more real world precedent​ than Magic Missiles.

Why wouldn't I?

I would much rather have none of these superfluous subsystems and use all those words spent on them to give me cool ideas to use.

Those little charts you roll on do not have remotely enough options.
