You need to go back and read the rules. Warcaster or Resilient does nothing to lessen the damage, only add proficiency bonus to con and gives you advantage on saving. [*]Necromancers can summon ridiculous numbers of skeletons, which are perfect dungeon-clearing tools and do surprisingly large amounts of damage. --At high levels? Seems like the high level monsters could take out swaths of skeletons pretty easily. Also you keep forgetting that you need bodies and bones and components. If you have a million bodies then sure. But all of thse points seem to not be taking into account the game world, just a vacuum where everything you possibly need is given to you. [*]5e's flexible spell prep and rituals system means casters sacrifice less than ever before to have their plot-breakingly versatile utility toolkit on tap. --Most high level spells can only be cast once per days, and require an extremely cost amount of materials. I don't see this a broken at all. We have no idea how much gold you should have at high levels/[*]Bards can poach Ranger/Paladin capstone (level 5) spells starting at level 10, when Rangers/Paladins only gain access to them at level 17. By poaching smites the Bard can easily outdamage a Fighter. --I have no earthly idea why you think smite is a spell you can steal? It's a class feature. This point is completely and utterly incorrect usage of rules.[*]Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster casting is pretty pitiful (level 4+ spells are where it's at, and they only get 1). --They aren't casters primarily, you seem to conveniently ignore all the other stuff they get. Strawman argument yes?[*]Even though the Sorceror is worse overall than the Wizard, Heighten Spell is utterly broken. --I don't see the problem, you spend resources to give a creature disadvantage on saving throws of a spell? Okay.... ?[*]Magic Jar allows you to permanently (until dispelled) take over another creature's body while simultaneously trapping their soul in a jar, able to perceive its surroundings but not to move or act in any way. Nightmarish. And overpowered - you retain your Int/Wis/Cha scores and class features, so it's a great way for a frail Wizard to get a big beefy body. --Until the container is destroyed of course. You don't seem to be taking creatures into account with any of these points. Probably because we don't have the monster manual and you are looking at everything within a vacuum and not within the context of the game world. [*]Fighters 'going nova' with 6 or 8 attacks look exciting, especially if you're able to give them Advantage or if they can use a maneuver to get it, but after doing so they're stuck playing the same way they did at level 1. --I don't understand why this is a problem? Seems like you are grasping at this point. Perhaps you think everyone needs the same complexity? In which case 5e simply isn't for you and thats OK. You can find another game you enjoy.</blockquote>
