[QUOTE="VanguardHero, post: 8624903, member: 7030089"] I believe it's a good basis to have in general, but o5e is so horrifically unbalanced and without any true baseline that it leaves a huge question of what are they comparing against? A Monk or Barbarian Subclass built using Paladin as a baseline of power to match would both be 'balanced' in a party setting but completely and utterly eclipse any official options which if weighed against that makes it 'overpowered' by virtue of being balanced. Or a new 3rd level blasting spell, did they use Fireball as their benchmark, a spell with 5th level numbers because it was made intentionally overpowered because the designers wanted to reward taking the 'right' spell, or did they use actual 3rd level numbers and just make another option worse than Fireball? What is even the right call to make in that case? It's incredibly hard to balance anything in o5e because the foundation is horribly rotted and useless. [/QUOTE]
