Think we are the same. Reminds me to post in beer thread.

Similar opinion exception is war cleric. Youre playing a primary caster but try and stack up as much damage on your single attack and use your bonus action. In practice it means spirit guardians, spiritual weapon or armor of faith, shillagh and true strike shenanigans. Primarily a caster.

I voted for 5 or 6. Lvl 2 1-2 Level 3 1-2 Level 4 3ish. Depends on how long sessions are. Lvl 1 is rest of session 0+1 generally. Or whatever the adventure says if its milestones. Otherwise I'll hardwave it. Longer the session less required to level up.

Until lvl 6 yes.

This. Basic combo is two concentration spells combo. Spellcaster casting hokd spells+strikers is amazing. 5.0 accuracy +5/-10. I haven't seen players design a party around something just using existing synergy.

Generally I look at the following. Frequency Impact Value Synergy Portent for example. Very powerful. Frequency only 2/day though and depends on dice rolls which drops it more. Barbarian rage. Functionally every encounter. High frequency. Impact. A lot big tick. Value. Lots of damage...

Its not something numbers can prove except basic damage. Look at wizards vs a lvl 2 warlock with 3 invocations for origin feats druid, cleric and wizard. Even at 3 and 4 it just has more resources. Same thing with cleric and druids. Depends on subclass though.

Its 6 spelks a round atm in 5.5. I may have missed something though. 5.0 could be 8.

How high are we talking about? Balor plus friends lvl 13 the balir lasted 2 rounds. Once its legendary resistance ran out banish.

Its because theyre outclassed by every other spellcaster class at being a spellcaster. Warlocks laugh at them for example. Martials outdamage them by a lot. They dont get many spells, weak AoEs and lack of additional resources eg bard dice, channel divinity etc. Light cleric packing radiance...

As far as wizards go I like this one along with the illusionist. But its still a wizard. A few of you probably know my opinions on wizards. Theyre a D tier class that becomes S tier. My main issue with them the amount of time it takes to become S tier (generally level 10+). They're to limited...

Anyone else seen inspiration/advantage builds in action? I've seen the level 10+ champion in play using vex along with warlocks loading up unlucky and musician. Works well can confirm. Ive seen high level PCs flanking reasonably low DCs as well 12-14 hence why I rate the fighter so well...

White room theory crafting also makes some weird assumptions. PCs might be maximizing accuracy over damage (or both 5.0 -5/+10 feats). Or spell DCs. Or party synergy often after the fact. Alot of its also high level. See simulacrums broken!!! Game ended 10 levels earlier. More...

Razing of Redshore. Level 20 3.0. I ran this one back in tbe day. Water plus depth pressure to deal with. The main NPCs are low level 20's. Archmage is CE 12 so probably CR12-14 in 5E. Xp budget lvl 20 6400 13200 22000 Per PC. Archmage is 8000 xp. 5 PCs could encounter 7 or...

Think I have an above average amount of high level adventures. Labyrinth of Madness 15+ More for an example. FML sideways on the phone theyre fine. 3D dungeon second image. Problem is fitting something like that on a battlemat.

I did but not anymore. I liked Ravnica and Theros. Quality products.

The gonzo stuff was optional. Dont run barrier peaks if you dont like robots. It was also self contained.
