Depends on the ability for me. A level 17 psi knight having something similar to foresight is fine for me. Assuming its a shorter duration. Casting meteor swarm not so much (a dragon disciple fighter with a breath weapon dealing lots of damage is probably fine as well). Depends on the...

I'm a permanent DM we tend to play to around 10-14th level. And what's gonna mess you up is fear effects and flunked wisdom saves. Charisma and int to a lesser extent. I spammed FoB a lot because open hand. Monk sanage was decent except vs the -5/+10 feats which distorted things a lot...

Assuming speed rules were used. When it was daggers and darts tended to pelt spellcasters (good vs stoneskin). Using an item was often a good idea fir wizard due to being interrupted.

When we played CoS we had a lot of cash compared to most 5E games. And nothing to spend it on.

More combats objective. This spell deals xyz damage erg its better than this spell that deals ABC. I doline teamwork as well but it's party composition and player depending. I'm the guy who said that the best 5.5 meta is the spellcasters focus on controlling and let the martials deal with...

Wisdom save proficiency is next best. Warlocks the best dual saves in practice Clerics and Druids. Con saves are tgat good for spellcasters. Win initiative alert feat, twin some control spell there's a decent chance the Sorcerer wont get hit by a Wisdom save spell. New twin spell amazing...

Except RAW you don't get that many spells known. Hence my comments about DM and Campaign dependent. Additionally exploration is kind of the neglected pillar. Also requires player knowledge to chase those spells/ask the DM. Alot of newer players do not. And requires gold. In 5.5 that gold...

Guidance at low levels. Functionally its skill expertise in all trained skills and proficiency in all spells. Kinda/sorta.

Sufficiently improved. I liked them more than the internet but tier 1 and14+ they were good/ok. And if you had high rolled stats....

Nvm.

Fighter indomitable, Monk and Paladins are all attractive due to save boosts. Ymmv.

Yeah that's the bg one. DM and campaign dependent. I'll supply some scores. Spells etc but it's not an all you can earn buffet. Probably more than most WotC adventures.

Way of Fist FoB is a save vs prone. Thought that was decent. Stunning Strikes over rated for reason you said.

My monk didn't. It was open hand. Monks generally sucked at tier 2 and people not knowing how to run them. There were 2 decent subclasses and yeah level 14 got better. Much like fighter though equipment helps.

Well you did say 4 PCs vs CR27. 5.5 iencounter rules are an lot better. I'm running them vs half veterans half newbie. Combat typically takes around 3 rounds. Sometimes 2. The powergamers know what they're doing. For casuals probably add a round. They've been working reasonably well...

Its not saying anything about 4 levels though that you claimed. Its merely pointing out higher CR critters are more dangerous. You're also cherry picking. There's a table laying out what you can do. Higher CR critters are more dangerous, be careful if PCs outnumbered 2-1 or more. That's...

Encounter design in 5.5E is xp budget. Set by party size and level. Table pg 115 iirc.

I was referring to 5.5 and you responded to a 5.5 comment. 5.0 encounter design is trash. I said that 2015. 5.5 is very similar to 4E. Xp budget fill it up. Budget varies by level and party size.

I don't think its unplayable just power crept out at levels that matter. And it's mote DM/campaign dependent.

Objectively wrong there that's 3E. There's no assumption what CR27 is. Its basically XP budget which is level and size of party. CR13 can turn up around lvl 7, at 9 I used CR17, 10 is CR 18 or so. If you're using a solo.
