Rest was just +X to some stat that you have.this is especially useful if you run the mod for 8 party members as you want as much dialogue options in quests as you can get, making 5 characters with "passive" only is great way to reduce your mental load as you just lead your character and maybe one or two more for spells.it's easy to dumb down the game if it's made complex in start, it's hard to increase complexity of a game if basic design is simple.it's the fighter with champion and battlemaster options, one is completely passive one requires decision points on most attacks.every class should be made in similar way at basic design.or with feats, and a lot more feat slots.then for martials, feat can be(not including ASIs):fighting style2 weapon masteries2 maneuvers + 2 dice(d6)+1 crit range+1d8 sneak attackand usual feats for martial characters.spellcasters could use 2 preparation slots for same spell for extra effect.IE fireball might get d8 damage die instead of d6 if your use two preparation slots. Turning and active preparation slot into a passive one. Or saves might be at disadvatage vs it. Or both for 3 preparation slots.cure wounds might get 60ft range and Bonus action cast time for extra preparation slot. or +3d6 healing per level for one extra preparation slotor a feat that gives +4 preparation slots that you can use anyway you want it. New spell or a passive spell upgrade.6th level wizard could have 15 preparation slots, but only 5 spells prepared. rest are upgrades to those spells.</blockquote>
