I don't give a damn about some fanboy obsession with a tabletop's ruleset. I enjoyed DoS 2 caster combat far more than this snoozefest of Eldritch Bolt Warlock and Moonbeam druid.
Imbalanced against fighter? Lazael is hitting for 17-25 damage, while being tankier than my bear, having greater mobility than said bear in between jump and her base battlemaster reach, while doing 12+ damage from a bow, and all her attacks can exploit environmental surfaces with dip not to mention poison coating.
Fighters are BROKEN in this game. They have the most sustainable damage, the greatest baseline safety, and because they have the HP and AC to support backstab chasing, they don't rely on a clutch like Misty Step sucking up a spell slot just so they don't miss half their skills.
You try the Githyanki camp without cheesing barrels and without Lazael in your party and get back to me.
The bear's durability would be balanced by the fact the polar bear does 8-11 damage while Lazael does nearly double that with access to other bonus actions than a mere taunt.
Again you are missing my point and showing unnecessary hostility. The reason things are unbalanced is because Larian is blending 5e and DOS.
You seem to like DOS combat, why stop now? Go nuts with barrelmancy and multiple actions per turn. You will be able to cruise in this game.
