@Phantaminum I've been happy with a asymmetric balance, where martials are REALLY good at murder, and casters suck at it. You can get there with belts of Giant Strength and GWM (and giving out legendary resistance like candy) and ... being "comfortable" with huge damage numbers.
Alternately it's a lot of work to make 5e balanced at higher levels, and I'd consider if you'd be ok with an all caster party or another game system.
I like to patch the game with magic items as well, but I tend to focus on giving extra options rather than pure damage so we have less continuous turns where someone says I attack
@Phantaminum the asymmetric balance I'm suggesting avoids "round after round of 'i attack''... but does so by virtue of dedicated damage dealers killing things too fast. It's not for everyone, but it is for some. :)
That sounds like you're not ok with the relevant amount of PC damage, and so I return to the "maybe a different system " suggestion.
Hey, thanks for your suggestion. As you may see I mentioned that Im switching to Level up advanced fifth edition. I think we have different ways to enjoy this game.
