Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cap'n Kobold" data-source="post: 9588087" data-attributes="member: 6802951">I've played in a game where access to spell levels was restricted to the same progression as half-casters, but spell slots weren't. (So full casters had more limited access to higher level spells, but still had high level spell slots with which they could upcast them.) That worked out OK, but simply making the half-caster progression the maximum (so full-casters would likely multiclass with martials) might be a simpler method of achieving the same effect.I think that a lot of martials would be happy to have the ability to sacrifice damage to perform more interesting maneuvers. So they don't punch any harder, but have the ability to be more tricksy if they're willing to punch more softly. (Similar to the Rogue cunning strike but without being shackled to sneak attack's non-ideal progression.)And of course more interesting non-combat versatility shouldn't affect combat punch too much.I've seen Simulacrum being used to great effect in a 2014 game. No multiple-simulacrum cheese, but when the bladesinger decided to get serious they blew even a fairly optimised martial character away just through the sheer number of attacks they could apply.Most of the time the wizard just used it like a very reliable NPC or hireling, handling their business while the wizard was adventuring. It was only ever a Sending and Teleport away if the group was going to do something particularly strenuous. however.</blockquote>
