I think that it all comes down to the concept of classes and how they need to work especially at low levels A class is a predefined combination of features envisaged to work together to give some kind of iconic, easily recognizable "character type". Makes going in the game easy as it's one...

Why not? It's not written anywhere that they aren't, and it could simply be that through magic they can have the same if not better benefits without the drawbacks (Bracers of defense +8, permanent Shield spell maybe through an amulet, and why not a Black Blade of Disaster always ready). Would an...

In a way or another, the other clear example where gold and wealth in general give characters other means to acquire features similar or identical to class features or skills is through magic items. You could "rationalize" a wizard learning to wear an armor as if he acquired a magic item...

It's an interesting comparison. I'd add that if you can wear armor, you'll have to pay for its maintenance but you'll also be able to equip magic armors. Armor can also make you drown and/or encumbered and can be targeted by spells like heat metal or effects like the rust monster's, but still...

If I were forced to only keep ASI or feats in my game, I'd take feats without hesitation

Yes, it's kinda sad when all the interesting options get overshadowed by one combination that's clearly the best.

Yes, the spell synergises with itself and allows to chain other effects very easily. It's a no-brainer

This gets even better the more I think about it. Unless an enemy is immune to disease and therefore to the effects of the spell, a single casting of this spell can wipe out all 3 uses of Legendary Resistance and still be effective for those 3 rounds, since one use or LR turns a failed save into...

I'm realizing that there's a crazy combo one can do with this spell. Cast it and choose Slimy Doom as an option. So, the target will have disadvantage on the follow up saves of the Contagion spell, AND, every time it takes damage it gets stunned until the end of the next turn (no save!). After...

The spell applies the disease with a successful attack. After the attack, the target makes saves every round. What happens next depends on whether 3 saves are failed before 3 succeed. I 3 saves fail, the disease lasts for 7 days, no additional saves are allowed to remove it. If 3 succeed, the...

Given how it's written I'd 100% use this on my allies Edit: or on paralyzed/stunned creatures

Good catch. But also this makes me realize that a 20th level fighter with the appropriate choice of maneuver specialization can have one extra attack every round as this reaction can always be triggered as long as he has at least 1 exertion

Well, the maneuver specifies being attacked as the trigger, not being hit or receiving damage. One could also be missed and still trigger Speed over Strength. In case you're hit, you do deal damage before receiving it (as reactions interrupt the trigger), but you receive damage even if you drop...

I'm really curious about this, what adventure path is it?

Is the Fiend Summoning a new kind of system?

I never considered subscribing to a VTT but THIS one may make me change my mind, it seems great!

Yeah, something along those lines. IMO in a purely systemic approach there should always be a way to use a feature from one class using a power source from another, with an efficiency loss commensurate to how far away those classes are. We see an example of this in a5e with how the herald powers...
