Talk:Monastic Tea (5e Other)

This is not something I wrote, I pulled it from the stub template because this is not a stub, the template is just misused. I put it here because I thought it was a legitimate concern, but should be addressed here. Here is the question: "Why not just make magic tea? Why do you need an epic boon for it? This is highly out of standard for what an epic boon should actually do and should be moved to another section. Perhaps a Monistic Tea Pot that allows you to brew one of these options?" question was originally asked at 05:12, 10 February 2019‎ by ConcealedLight. DeathBringer (talk) 06:38, 8 April 2019 (MDT)

I can see in some way, someone thought that this tea maker was so awesome, they were epic at it and became a boon. If we go through asking some of the questions like above, I think we would delete over half the wiki. A player had inspiration for this and just needs help completing their idea but I clearly won't have time to contribute to it and since no one else has either, it will probably become deleted. ~ BigShotFancyMan 07:40, 8 April 2019 (MDT)

Balance

Template suggests stat boosts are too powerful compared to core examples. I don’t think there’s a linear balance between each one in the DMG. There are clear issues with the duration of the effects of the tea. I think the following changes would help this:

• the teas are so potent or whatever appropriate term that only 1 may be drank between long rests.
• the ability score increases are limited to only two abilities and cannot increase by more than +2
• duration is standardized to 1 minute.

Hopefully constructive discussion happens if any otherwise when I’ve got more time I’ll “contribute”. BigShotFancyMan (talk) 14:29, 5 May 2018 (MDT)
