I don't think it's boring to allow people to enjoy their character even if that includes getting items you find boring. Nobody is dismissing anything, we just disagree that it's a problem. If you want to make custom items have fun with it. I don't see the need. I have my solutions that worked...

It's all relative. Broom of Flying: No limit on usage, can send it up to a mile away and summon it on demand. Fly speed of 50 if carrying 200 pounds or less, after that speed is 30. There is no upper limit on weight it can carry. Attach this thing to a boat and you have a flying ship...

They still get unlimited out of combat flight which can be incredibly useful. In a pinch they can still use it in combat even if there is a certain level of risk. Meanwhile the boots have limited usage (in 2024, up to 4 times a day for 1 hour) and require attunement which I think is a decent...

So what's the alternative? There's nothing in the rules stopping a character from adding a platform to the broom and surfing 24x7. The surfboard was a bit facetious but nothing stops a saddle from being added. I think the item is vastly overpowered for it's level and lack of attunement if I...

I've had people argue that they can attack with a bow or use a shield and a weapon while riding a broom. Not really any different than standing on it like a surfboard, the rules don't really say anything at all about restrictions on how the character rides the broom. Use it for overland...

So just let every character buy a relatively cheap broom, have permanent flying with no restrictions? Why wouldn't ever character do this as soon as they have the gold? Why not just have an entire party using the broom like surfboards, after all there's nothing saying they can't! As long as...

Ride? Maybe. Use a bow? That requires a whole lot of training to do even on a horse. I see casting a spell with somatic components just as hard. But that's just my take, having some of the characters flying around on brooms is just not something I want to have to account for on a regular basis.

As others have said, flame arrows are not particularly useful against individual opponents, they're used for setting objects on fire. On the other hand I made a flametongue bow that adds 1d6 fire damage to any arrow it shoots because I'm not overly concerned about real world logic. If you...

Most brooms don't come with stirrups. ;)

So sorry sir/madam you have to sell at half of what you paid and you need to pay a commission to the seller. Of course you can show proper provenance and history of sales? No problem, that will just be a small fee for a title search check. Oh, and are you part of the MIRU (Magic Item Resale...

My house rule is that you need to keep one hand holding the broom. If you cast a spell with somatic components it's an acrobatics check. That and I curate my list of items for sale, items that provide flight aren't available until higher levels.

I was surprised when Chef wasn't a starter feat, it made a lot of sense thematically. I understand the logic because of the ASI but I wish they had just tweaked it a bit instead.

Which happens quite frequently against higher CR monsters. Depends on what rules they're choosing to use I suppose. But even a leveled spell and two cantrips could be a bit much. Which, again, at mid-to-high levels happens all the time with monsters that have multi-attack. I get the...

It messes up balance pretty quickly though and not just for character classes. Low level fighter "I attack, attack, attack". High level fighter "I attack, attack, attack". Mid-to-high level wizard "I cast fireball, fireball, fireball". A hydra with 8 heads "It bites, bites, bites". It's not...

So we either assume that they're one ounce unless specified otherwise or we make assumptions about the weight of the container, so we can get the weight of the liquid inside. Why not just assume that the container for the liquid is on the heavy side? Why can't the container weigh 15 ounces...

The DMG clearly states that an ounce of liquid is in a potion. Calculations based on weight are not needed. If you want to make up a house rule saying they're 8 times as much feel free.
