Ironically in 2E you woukd have most likely made the save and chewed the lich to pieces. As DM i would have let you control the summoned elephants. And wouldn't set up a 4 hour combat. I dont remember summons as bad in 2E. PCs used them.

Generally I like the 5.5 phb art. The bad is very mid though. Cartoonist isnt for me but arts so subjective. Pretty art works on casuals though. DiA looks great think I broke one my players hearts when I said it was mid adventure being generous.

The why woukd be weapon masteries. Also depends on 5.0 spells being available. I wouldn't play a Bladesinger if they weren't.

You're probably right. Hold person is on more spell lists though and not everyone took spell initiate. I probably wouldn't bother with a cleric for example since you have command. Deadly duo. Command+tashas Unholy trinity. Fear, Hypnotic Pattern, Slow Power Couple AKA we want to hurt...

Im saying digital art tends to have that shiny cgi type feeling on a lot of it. Even if you do an old school type update. AI art probably copies that. I lije the cover art on the alt core I bought. Interiors a mixed bag as per usual. Normal art on new FR books meh ones low side of meh...

Shrugs versatility is good. Rangervor Paladin level for reasons.

Hold person is probably mine as a DM spell. Its on the most NPCs I use irrc.

Its a stress test. Balor at 19 leaves a bit in the bucket so Ive added one of them in another encounter. Plus friends.

Bladesing with a mace?

Yup I haven't crunched it out. Youre giving up a bit of damage for some support. Think wife is going with knowledge cleric.

I think the numbers have been broken down. Frost with elemental adept feat i xant remember if it was really goid or kind of pointless. Frost often targets con saves. I like lightning the best in any event once you consider soell access, resistance and immunity etc.

Blame Mearls is convenient. He was only one guy though he's just giving insight on the process.

That's always been a issue with things tied to environment. Eg frost mage from the north.

Specifically Fraz-Urb'luu page 129 MotM book. Prepping the encounters now. Leaning towards. Xp budget Low 13000 Moderate 21000 High 27000 Fraz is 50k CR 23. New rules its probably lower. I'm thinking 3 deadly encounters. These cannot be avoided. To even get the Fraz.... 3 moderate...

I said generally. Bards I probably wouldn't bother but I can see why some would.

You're on to it.

Generally requires a wizard. Not seeing them much nowadays. New campaign 3/6 are talking about what they're playing. 0 wizards so far in an easy NPC arcane game.

I lean more towards oils requiring more skill. Theres so many people doing digital by comparison you end up with that generic CGI/AI look. I cant do either in my life. But i do pay for it. Sone WoC books look beautiful. Alt art infinite staircase, Therros few others.

The adventures are often run yeah. I just tend to delete a level or 3 off the suggested range.

Yup. New commands basically a stun lock.
