D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

Wouldn't be the worst idea.

That solves the problem that at some point cantrips outdamage low level spells.
Maybe I try that as a house rule.

So level 1 and 2 damage spells add one damage die at level 5, 11 and 17, level 3 to level 5 spells at level 11 and 17 and level 6 to level 8 spells at level 17.

And when we are at it, I'd give sneak attack the same progression.

This is not much, but maybe helps a bit.

I also find it satisfying that at some point a standard fireball does 10d6 damage.

Yeah level 11.

Ironically was theory crafting a new rogue similar idea. But liwer hp as well.

What rate should rogue sneak attack scale at. No idea.

Treantmonk thinks that cantrip scaling is enough. He uses true strike to achieve it.
So I guess, I would only scale it if the rogue uses it during the attack action.

Yeah I watched his Rogue video and wasn't impressed. It was a very narrow builds as well.

Im thinking rogue as a striker similar to 4E. Less danage. Key difference you can sneak attack multiple times.

Sneak attack similar to pre 3E instead of X2 or X3 its an extra d6. Hit points drastically lowered think half current.
So rogue tops out +5d6 in effect. Other strikers get smaller damage boosts but multiple attacks or whatever.
