Linear fighter, quadratic wizard hasn't gone away - and 5e has no conception of what being a high level non-caster means. A level 19 fighter does exactly the same things as a level 11 fighter other than having extra uses of abilities. The game works give or take up to level 10My basic solution is therefore simple. Ban spells of sixth level and higher other than as plot device magic. I've several suggestions.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hard cap at level 10. Most games end by that time anyway.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No spells may be learned above level 5 other than as quest rewards. Slots (including Mystic Arcana) can be used to upcast lower level spells known</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">E10 based on the 3.5 E6 variant<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hard cap at level 10</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Anyone who doesn't multiclass gets all the level 11 abilities except sixth level spell slots. This is because of the break points and level 11 abilities are often very cool</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">After this point extra feats/ASIs and spell slots can be bought for XP; each costs more than the last.</li> </ul></li> </ul></blockquote>
