[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7870171, member: 6987520"] You just don't get it, do you? Every time I bring up SA it is because [I]other[/I] people use it. I think most of JC's "advice" is crap personally. Whether you follow that advice or not, [I]I don't care[/I]. I think DS [I]IS[/I] balanced for exactly the reasons I've stated. You have yet to show why, other than it "ruins the DM's fun" (basically) for planning adventures. So, you're upset that superior DV races have something against them (seeing in bright light), non-DV races have something against them (seeing in darkness), but DS breaks things? Aha, right, ok. So, what about regular DV races? There are [I]TONS[/I] of them! They have no penalty in light or dim light (up to 60 feet anyway), and are better in dark having only disadvantage (which, doesn't impact attacks at all). A warlock of ANY race without sunlight sensitivity would see equally well in dark and bright light, but have disadvantage in dim light. Play a warlock with both DV and DS and you never have disadvantage for the most part. The idea that this removes suspense is very limited thinking. As for Eldritch blast being too good with the Agonizing/Spear combo? Nah. Again, warlocks have limited invocations and if a player wants to focus that much, have at it. Is it pretty good? Sure. Broken? Nope. As an aside, I do agree CHA is over-used in 5E, especially for warlocks and catering to them to not need to rely on STR or DEX for combat. CHA is the new mental version of DEX if you make the right build. With Bard, Sorcerers, and Warlocks all CHA casters, it makes multiclassing between them a no-cost thing. [/QUOTE]
