Some of them are underwhelming-”wow, you can choose one failed attack to actually hit once per long rest!”-but others are quite flavorful, such as this one:

Still, if you want to go on a planes-hopping, god-smacking journey of over the top madness, there is a way to keep some sense of character progression after the 20th level: The DM has a page ( DMG, pg 231) full of Epic Boons to award to level 20 characters as rewards for their mighty deeds. By this point, many people miss the fast and deadly fights of the early game. I myself think it’s advisable, as someone who’s not overly fond of the potential for spectacle creep at the topmost levels, to make everything feel like a Shonen anime. Is there life after the final tier? Do we have to stop once we’ve gotten strong enough to slap gods around? Not necessarily. Let’s address the 20th level elephant in the room. Naturally, things run smoother when everyone at the table knows their stuff, and time wasted on frantic page-flipping and wiki-scrolling is minimal.Īnother couple of ways to curb this tendency are using pre-rolled initiatives, running similar enemy types at the same point in initiative, and visually representing ongoing conditions ( Roll20, the virtual tabletop my group uses, makes this very convenient). Big fights at higher levels can take up whole sessions. Something else to keep in mind is that combat length tends to increase as the levels pile up. Two identical parties, except one has level-appropriate magical gear and the other has none, will not play the same way.Ī canny DM accounts for this when prepping for a session, fine-tuning challenges according to how much useful treasure they’ve doled out so far.

Not to say that PC progression is the only thing that matters magical item availability is also a big deal. Scry, Teleportation Circle, Plane Shift, Teleport, Wish, and still more. Other less flashy spells, later on, can change the course of a campaign.
An angry sorcerer can potentially wreck a village by themselves with this. It’s part of the fun that it’s ridiculously powerful at the level you can first cast it. These are also class levels when full-casters get higher-leveled spells-even warlocks, thanks to their Mystic Arcanum feature-which vastly expands how characters can exert their will upon the world.Ĭonsider Fireball and just Fireball: This spell is unbalanced by design. Meanwhile, damage-dealing cantrips get extra damage dice on the 5th, 11th, and 17th character levels. On the other end of this, fighters get Extra Attacks at 5th (as do all other martial classes) and 11th levels, and an extra Action Surge on the 17th. The way they power spike is via Uncanny Dodge at 5th level, Reliable Talent at 11th, and subclass features at 17th. For instance, damage progression for rogues is steady and gradual. Some classes power spike more dramatically than others. The tiers are, by and large, separated by Player Characters’ (PCs) power spikes, which is why they’re relevant when considering multiclassing.
