[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 7822503, member: 71699"] Yup, it's true that it might not happen at every table, and that other spells can also trivialise combat. That said, the other spells you cite here can't be spammed as often. Being levels 4 through 6. Party of six for most of the campaign. Or do you mean on the creatures side? A real mixture: from dozens of gnolls, to a single demon-lord. And you are right, [I]repelling blast[/I] has the most impact on one-foe encounters. That is what I mean by warping, however: I want to be able to run encounters with any number of foes [I]including[/I] one. I think some of the replies to my posts are looking for a binary: must use as RAW versus must change... must be a problem at my table versus has been found to be a problem at some tables. If you don't have trouble with it, don't change it. 5e is full of holes, like all versions of D&D. I don't think they all need fixing, and I regularly cut things from my current list of fixes. For my new campaign - just starting - I am using [I]repelling blast[/I] unmodified. None of the PCs are warlocks so why bother with the rule change? Even if it is - in my view - justified. Other fixes (or changes, if you prefer) are like anchors of what I want to do as a DM... like my rest changes. Those are perennial: I'd always prioritise them over worrying about [I]repelling blast[/I]. [/QUOTE]
