[QUOTE="Var, post: 8005582, member: 7022819"] There's only a problem with a 5 Full Caster Party if you let it be one. Pretty sure I can build a more annoying party than 5 clerics from a DM perspective, being lazy - 4 War Wizards ending every encounter before the other side gets a turn and a Divine Soul Sorcerer to add some healing. And I still fail to see how 5 Druids/(Divine Soul) Sorcerers would be any less problematic with the same amount of Spellslots to blow on trivializing encounters. The OP's concerns are purely mechanical. If that Paladin in Ravenloft has RP repercussion and needs to be reflavored as Crusader or whatever to fit, has no impact on encounter balance. Still his campaign and his choices. He can do whatever he wants, have everyone die to worms two days in the campaign, bite into his desk if he ends up with a Druid and a Bard rather than a Paladin and a Cleric (doing exactly the same thing), whatever - no matter to me. Just inclined to call bs here. He's not achieving the goal he claims to be aiming for by doing the stuff he apparently is dead set on doing anyway. The only way to realistically achieve what he is out to accomplish would be a ban on Paladins + full casters altogether. No more Fireballs killing all the Zombies before they get to bite anyone to begin with and the other 5 or so classes with access to the Spells his concerns are all about. Easy, problem solved. 😬 [/QUOTE]
