Spell level can be increased by using higher level spell slot, and I see no requirements that spell to be permanent must be cast by the same caster every time. Storytelling-wise, it would then make sense to invite archmage with 9th level slots to perform first or last...
Of the spellcasting classes, Rangers probably suffer the least...but it's still enough to cripple their utility compared to other classes. They are left with less skill utility than a Rogue, less combat ability than a Fighter, and no spellcasting to make up for their lack. Warlock Dead ...
Your class and background will determine whichDnD skillsyou’re proficient in (see our guide for a full explanation of each). As with saving throws, mark the circles for skills you’re proficient in and combine your proficiency bonus with the relevant ability score modifier to calculate what n...
whoever takes the action rolls the dice in D&D. That’s fine. Smart actually. But sometimes, it’s the victim that rolls to prevent the action. That’s what a saving throw is. And saving
How do you determine how many magical items to distribute in your adventures? And how powerful should they be? Does your approach differ between one-shot adventures and adventures that are part of a series or campaign? Hey RSBS! Nice to hear from you again. Thanks for your help with that...

If your players, particularly those controlling non-spellcasting characters, actually say when asked that they're not bothered, then you should probably just leave things be, because anything you do try will be to some extent pushing back against systems built into 5e. But if they do see it...

5E, I’ll admit. But beyond that, as time has gone on, defensive options have fallen out of the game. And they were never very big to begin with anyway. Hell, some 4E classes were built around the fact that damage mitigation was as good as healing for a leader. And no one bought...
the less important part. People play games because they’re after particular emotional experiences. Aesthetics. Ultimately, game designers are trying to provide those experiences. Because those are things that determine whether anyone actually f$&%ing likes your game. Whether they actually have a sat...
