If you have the cash then you'd almost prefer them dead as Revivify will bring them back with 1 HP. The only downside of death is your magic items slide off you as they are no longer attuned. The fact that you kinda do prefer them dead is a bit of a problem. Maybe the Rez spells should also...

The point of Chromatic Orb is it's 90 foot range and it's variable energy type, neither of which are represented by your DPR comparison, so the fact that the orb is comparable AND has range advantage AND has element choice AND doesn't cost concentration puts it well ahead. A fairer comparison...

Paladin/Warlock is pretty hot, although if you're maxing CHR for eldritch blast and aura you won't be swinging much. If you want to swing a weapon though the paladin will give you the smites and with warlock you can hex, although Paladin already has Divine Favor, so they're kind of a good...

There are several better non-cantrip spells. People are using cantrips as an example because they're ALSO better and don't even use up a slot. Those spells not only do more damage but are better in every way. Yes, as you say, you are doing so little damage that breaking off to attack you is...

It would be pretty funny if a sorc double critted with it and had to roll 72d6. But for low level use, as Burning Hands is doing 3d6 to multiple targets, doing 2d6 to one target across multiple rounds is pretty gimpy. Most combats aren't even lasting more than 4 rounds and a monster getting...

Even with advantage your damage is still lower after level 4 using a WB than a cantrip. Before level 5 WB is pretty much never as good as Burning Hands or Sleep. True Strike + Witch Bolt is almost always quite a bit worse than Burning Hands + Cantrip or Cantrip + Sleep.

The round spent casting True Strike is going to seriously reduce the damage the spell gives. You're just making the spell worse. Witch Bolt isn't a good choice up to level 4, at level 5 it's worse than cantrips. Even if you stick it in a 9th level slot and do 9d12/round with it, it's still...

The spell literally says "animals".

If you consider crits there are WAY WAY more than a dozen. There are probably more than a dozen that can break 90 damage on a weapon crit. 100 Bulette CR 5 92 Chasme CR 6 90 Giant Ape CR 7 105 Nalphashee CR 13 163 Remorhaz CR 11 105 Storm Giant CR 13 106 Tarrasque CR 30 103 T-Rex Cr 8

Daggers aren't versatile which makes it not the same. Seriously, I think the whole "finesse weapon shouldn't be two-handed because..." has been answered several times already.

Anyone can take it in 3E, in fact pretty much everyone does as being able to scroll the cleric back to life can frequently come in handy.

I'm not impressed because the overabundant lycanthrope art is taking up the space of a dozen more lyncanthropes or more in depth versions of the ones that are there. Raarrrr look a bear man with an ax, raaaaar look never seen a wolf man before, raaaaaar a rat man. And another man and another...

They could easily put out 10 monster manuals, seemingly people love content light but art heavy books. GW is putting out books that are nothing but art and charging an arm and a leg for them, I don't see why it wouldn't work for Hasbro.

5E is less modular than 4E and much less than 3E. So saying it's made for splatbooks is wrong. However even 1E, which wasn't very modular either, had plenty of splat books and huge amounts of additions through Dragon. So regardless of how modular it may or may not be, the number of splat...

We are just starting to see the early signs of book death now. Used book stores are full and either not taking any more books or are going out of business. Small book stores are mostly gone and you're only left with large stores that probably also sell lots of other things besides books. The...

Oh look, trying not to be brutally murdered and eaten by horrible monsters is now cheating.

The gods demand a certain market value of diamonds not a weight or quality. People got smart long ago and decided that a few grains of diamond dust are worth 500GP so there is enough to rez all you want for the next few million years.

25% more is narrowly? The ranger gets weighed down by a lot of situational garbage and not much really stands out. The fighter has a lot of stand out abilities. A better comparison though would be the paladin and the paladin is stronger class than the ranger as well.

If he'd had his HP lowered rather than slowed the only difference is he'd be dead 20 feet closer to where the fight started since he wouldn't have had the round to run in the first place.

Blind/slow/stun all have exactly the same effect, make the target die more easily/quickly. This is already represented by HP. Having less HP is a condition where by the target will die more easily/quickly. You're just trying to add completely unhelpful complexity. It's also pretty...
