It is fairly straightforward to swap a cantrip for a martial weapon proficiency, a light armor then medium then heavy proficiency, or a skill, tool, or vehicle proficiency. If certain cantrips dont bother you, perhaps Dancing Lights, then allow these and allow a Fighter to swap a proficiency for it too. Proficiency with all martial weapons is worth maybe three separate martial proficiencies. So a Fighter could reduce to a longsword and a longbow, plus a setting-appropriate cantrip.Make Ranger Hunters Mark a class feature. Remove a number of slots from the spell slots, and rededicate them for the class feature only, meaning that Hunters Mark can only be used so many times per rest.Possibly REQUIRE a spellcaster character to multiclass. Alternating one level of a spellcaster class, then one level of a nonmagic class. This will stretch out the spellcasting so that lower level spells only become accessible at higher levels.− Or similarly. Ban all fullcasters. Instead, make Eldritch Knight, Arcane Trickster, Ranger, and Paladin healer, the ‘wizards’ of the setting. If someone wants to play ‘Gandolf’, be an unarmored Dexterity Paladin.</blockquote>
