I definitely would not suggest a heavy handed second nerf to this single character just to make everyone else feel better about their own characters. As a DM I have learned it is always better to buff others than nerf a single OP character. With buffs everyone is ...
That is, RPG players are quick to condemn “metagaming,” in the sense of abusing player knowledge the characters would not have, but often overlook the opposite, where players don’t know things the characters definitely do, or fail to consider things that would...
I have chosen to disregard two possible ways in which characters can get ability scores over 20: Even without magic items, Epic Boons can be used to continue to improve abilities to 30 (DMG 230), while the characters remain "20th level" characters. Given enough time, assume all 30s. The...

Well, I don’t have a thermometer (This is a lie. I do, but it’s in a box, somewhere) but it’s that level of fever where you feel like this: You feel like you’re roasting to the level it’s near-painful, your eyeballs feel like they’re sweating, and if you self-combus...
