- Include over-tuned gear and special tadpole powers, then complain that the balance breaks down at higher levels.
Yes, this is definitely a Monty Haul campaign, I do wish they just used items from the DMG and dropped all the artifacts, would have been more balanced. Also the tadpole powers are like adding Psionics from AD&D which unbalanced any character that got them back then.
I can wait until I meet someone joining a tabletop game I am in who only been exposed to BG3 and we have to keep telling them "No, it does not work that way in 5E raw."
I stopped worrying about all the house rules and just go with it but do wish we had a closer to 5E rules game.
