Actually, I've been thinking of implementing a charge based system for non casters just because of this issue. The charges would permit non casters to straight ignore spells, and the number they received per level would vary by the number of built in spells they could cast. A similar number of...

If they add a wardrobe, 5th ed is ruined forever. I'll boycott future materials! There'll be no telling what kind of furniture they add next!

The setting I'm working on currently has Dwarven diving and underwater excavation equipment, Gnomish electro punk lightning guns, Human/Dwarven Age of Sail navigation by longitude and lattitude, Halfling cryptography with highly trained independent messenger dogs (armed and armored), Human...

You could always go crazy, dump literally every mental stat, try and max out your physical stats, go Champion, pick up Archery and GWF styles to build some kind of switch hitting damage tank fightery fighter of DOES EVERYTHING. Probably wouldn't work that well, but someone could try. And if...

Wizards are honestly already very, very strong. You could buff every other class in the game (except Druids) and Wizards would be either OK or capable of outdoing a lot of classes. People already fear Wizards.

I think you're doing it right but I can't find any confirmation in the Sage Advice Compendium. EDIT: Whoops, misread your post. I'm pretty sure spell damage is assumed to be magical, but HAM and Barbarians get to resist it anyways if it's in their resistances. Still can't find support for my...

Would you mind sharing what you're trying to achieve?

Imma naysay on passage. Looking out for others doesn't seem like the point of that set of powers. Much more focused on getting around conviently. I'd also like to naysay Sentinel. It's good, but it's pretty combat specific-all damage resist and AC buffs. And I'm actually gonna say nay to my...

Don't get mad. Don't get 'even' either. Players can get upset by a lot of stuff. Ignore him and play on normally. On the social/exploration front, you might want to think about dropping some hints on getting that item uncursed. It's practically a free sidequest in terms of game content, since...

Have you checked out the Mark of Warding? Might fit the cleric.

SKELETON ARCHERS ON UNDEAD HORSES YOU FOOL! Ahem. May we know your process for designing challenges? It may be more helpful for informed criticism if we're informed.

Of course...if that person hasn't also been training. And that is actually simplifying it. Even running can vary in kind. Do you mean a sprint? A marathon? On average across different length races and terrains? With shoes on or not? Training matters more because techniques can be improved...

Well, if it's just a punch up, the 4-step plan is great. But what about alternate win conditions? Such as not applying damage to your party members?

I'm weirdly OK with the Warlock not getting these options. They already have one significant otherworldly being in their life, and it might be jeaaaaaaaaalous... I'm actually digging the tiefling subrace, too. It's nice to have an option that's free!

While such a thing may be useful, it's a DMing tool I rarely want or need. I have used levels as a literal stand in for status/power/whatever, but I sort of stopped doing it because I wasn't seeing point. Maybe I'll change my mind some day, so, whatever.

Power and balance are always a little bit subjective. Keep in mind that Sleep, as an AoE, relies in no small part on enemies being in a certain distance from one another, and also on the enemies not being all around or mixed in with party space. It's high power in effect on small, low HP...

108. Your gear goes adventuring without you whenever you sleep in.

That actually reminds me. I was going to try doubling the HP of everything, Monsters and PCs alike, next time I ran a campaign. Thanks for talking about this! Glad to hear it worked out.

EDIT: Delete this, the OP basically said they were doing the suggestion in this post anyways.

I'm particularly fond of the 'Build a Stronghold' downtime activity. I've found that people can really get into designing their own personal dungeon, but one that favors the party. It helps set up a good map for a major invasion or theft later on, with numerous bits to the parties advantage...
