Just double checking this are we sure on those numbers? Thats likely part of the problem right there, if its assumed the players can get 22 uncommon items worth of resources every single session at even like 6th level.....I mean that's your problem right there.

Is there guidance on the crafting rules? Ultimately it’s in the book but is it an assumed default or more of a variant rule?

It was prayer of healing which can give short rest benefits. The party used it a lot according to the OP

I would argue the two biggest differences are: 1) Single target disabler versus fire baller. Before it was often good to just area blast and fry the party, now it’s more about taking out a player one at a time. Big flavor change, but fireball at cr12 isn’t that scary so the new version looks...

Well sure, you do EVEN MOAR DAMAGE. The fighter is a great all around character but the idea is they don't have any real tricks compared to a spell-caster. they just have to suck it up and take it. They can't throw an invincible forcefield around themself or teleport to another spot or heal...

ok fair, so if you are taking damage you should be making two DSTs a round (one for starting the turn at 0hp, one for taking a hit). ok that addresses my concern.

I think this is a pretty clean way to do it (you might want to specify bonuses to saving throws do not alter this unless it is specifically a bonus to death saving throws). Otherwise like paladins become ridiculously resistant to death. The ONLY issue is, technically as long as you are only...

to me that 100% the system working as intended, and one of the things that 5e initially dropped the ball on. If you are going to have a game where high level magic users that can make wishes and alter reality stand together with a guy that "swings metal plank real good"....then you mainly have...

So we are circling a lot around the magic item issue, so lets try and break it down. 1) First question (knowing nothing about the module), is did the DM provide magic items based on the module recommendation or treasure tables, or was this from the standard tables in the DMG....etc etc. 2) The...

The thing that continues to impress is how much change is accomplished in 2024 MM with sometimes so little. From the flavor text you posted, there is one simple sentence that dramatically changes the concept of the tarrasque, and I'll spoiler the rest of the post:

ok so demons and dragons are grouped up in an index? If that's the case, that's not as concerning then.

I have no issue with certain monsters being a pain for martial characters, and monsters being a pain for spellcasters. The DM can decide to balance their use to decide what level of balance is fair. The MM is basically a toolbox of different types of encounters, by choosing certain monsters I...

Yeah I can understand going one way or another, but the idea that they did this "half-way" approach is just the worst of all worlds. That said, while I can respect the idea of "oh an erinyes....never heard of that let me look that up....oh its not under Es...." but at the same time I think its...

if the Slaad entry had actually been in a random place in the MM, completely out of order.... I mean I as a DM would have hated it, but I would have had a grudging respect to stick to lore:)

I mean, its not an excuse IF it is a central part of the plot. If the FF comes from an alternate earth and then come to Earth-616 after galactus or a calamity or something....well then I have no beef if alternate 1960s earth doesn't perfectly resemble 1960s our earth. That is fine.

I'm sure its simply an error in the book. It happens

My main issue with most psions I see is.....its a sorceror in sheep's clothing. you could literally replace charisma with intelligence on a sorc chassis and boom....psion. and then most alternate psions I've seen my first reaction was....that's a warlock. Replace charisma with int on a...

This is also a chance to insert monster intelligence and planning into the mix. Its fair that if its just random wearwolf X and the party comes in knowing about wearwolves, they can use their silver or magic weapons and its done. But...perhaps the wearwolf is a noble that weapons have to be...

I'm guessing they are just removing that entire "fling" concept and changing it to a standard push. Note that the damage of the new push is comparable to the old fling at 20 feet (aka 15 + 2d6 for the fling = 22 vs 24 for the new one, so right in the ballpark).

Ultimately I didn't mind the concept, it seemed an interesting way to turn a two bit villain into a major one in an interesting way. but the execution was HORRENDOUS, god that movie was so bad I just want to forget that it exists in the Marvel repertoire:)
