well then either get fighters their magic items back (as opposed to relegating them to an optional part of the game) or adapt some of the advantages of magic items into class features (or create similarly powerful features). either way, if magic items made them fantastic and mythic, and if those...
and then they'll go back to adnd where a fighter can shrug off an adult red's breath attack before proceeding to solo it in a fight like that's not fantastic or mythic :p
to be fair, the dialogue for that fight could be extremely funny. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LEARNED HOW TO SUMMON A FIRE STORM BY KILLING A MINDFLAYER?! HOW ARE THOSE EVEN RELATED?! THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW SPELLS!"
i mean, yeah, i can't really add anything to this other then a5e feels like if someone took 5e and actually finished making the game.
i might check out that 5e victoriana book though, since i plan to run zeitgeist at some point and it might have some things i can pull from it.
i guess my thing is that at some point it's just math for the sake of math. like why am i adding +20 to the save? just give me the success at that point.
this is an absolutely bizarre way of looking at things that i simply cannot understand.
you have to remember, though, that enemy save DCs...
that...requires you to have a 6 or 7 in an ability score. which isn't IMPOSSIBLE, just...fairly unlikely.
more likely your lowest save will be a 9 or 10. more on that later.
it will for your strength, and maybe your con or dex if you take resilient dex and max it out. otherwise uh...no, it'll...
wow, i didn't know you were inside my head.
...oh, wait.
oh, absolutely. i hate 2014 indomitable more then 2024 indomitable. if i had to pick between them, i'd pick 2024 any day.
i just think 2024 indomitable is such a boost that it might as well just be legendary resistances at this point...
i hate it because it might as well be an auto-success to the point where when you fail despite it, it feels like it's mocking you. i don't want my class features to mock me.
i feel like it'd be better if either it was basically an auto-success, or if it was replaced by slowly getting...
