[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 7500922, member: 6784868"] No, it's not. It is fun sometimes to attack the powerful. I myself love 5e, but sometimes it still bothers me. I'd say that my main catches against it are mostly centered in 2 classes, druids and clerics, and some spells. Druids are just cheesy to me. Polymorph at 2nd level without any real restrictions (can't be interrupted, dispelled, etc) is powerful. And I'm not talking about power gaming shapes, but cats, chickens, cockroaches, rats, and other small and useful shapes. No one will suspect of a goat or donkey. Also, goodberry and create water erase any possibility of survival adventure. Crossing the Big Waste? You don't have to worry about water or food. Laser Clerics just step on any other class. Need a tank? Shield of Faith! Need an ability boost? Guidance! Need a more powerful boost? Bless! Enhance ability! Need energy damage? Sacred flame and guiding bolt! Need more attacks? Spirit weapon! Need healing? Pfff. The worst part is that clerics and druids don't even have to choose their known spells: they learn every damned spell whenever they reach the damned level on which they cast them! And they even have the benefits of weapon and armor training! All in all, both classes come to me as unbelievably versatile, and an auto solution to most problems without any concerns or real options. [/QUOTE]
