In terms of action economy smite much stronger than you suggest because 1) that slot gets to be used at the same time as you can attack and 2) all those attacks and smite damage can be focused on a single enemy. That said, Paladins just don't get many great spells for combat casting. Sometimes...

Now can you make a thread about why you should always lie to your attorney.

Curious what aspects are actually needed?

Okay. How can I state I disagree with you in a way that doesn’t lead to being told I don’t need to state that? I’ll be happy to do whatever that is from now on.

No. 5e replaced 4e which replaced 3.5e.

That’s very much in dispute.

I don’t think the community typically uses the term that way. 5e is often used to describe the 5th edition of d&d. Not as some generic ruleset devoid of all d&d content.

I think we each consider what counts as 5e to start and stop in different places. I think official Wotc content vs non-official makes as fine a criteria as any.

i don’t believe long term popularity requires an exceptionally good game, but it sure as heck requires a not-bad game (at least compared to competitors).

Sure. Now look at something like Polymorph ally into Giant ape + Hypnotic pattern.

I really like your 'Lore' change.

For the OP, there is no fixing 5e as it is. There are no subsystems to tweak outside spells. There are so few places where options can be added and even then they aren't spread evenly through the classes/subclasses, meaning the ones that get more options have a tendancy to get more...

Yes, let's make casters even more powerful for most of the levels the game is already played at.

Let’s see. 1-2 defensive. 1-2utility. 2-3 offensive + a couple of cantrips. 4-7 would be bare minimum. Though with spell slots and spell levels a 5e wizard probably needs at least 1 per spell level and a few more at level 1. So I’ll change my answer. Something like 4 + 9 - 1. So 13ish would...

I think some would rather have a choice, even a ‘bad choice’ over no choice at all. In fact I think id hate a game where all choices were equally effective in all situations. Part of the fun is figuring out how to play well.

Here’s the thing. You can make a great game with hyper specific classes. You can make a great game with completely generic classes. Trying to isolate class specificity or genericicity alone as the determiner of good design is the problem. Its really about how everything works together. If 5e...

I watched the video of guy ordering hamburger without burger or bun. Now I want to see someone order pizza with no cheese.

One should always leave it directly behind the car that parked too close to you.

Then I think you don’t understand them nor me :)
