Tested 2024 for the first time. Mastery seems a bit much.

Maybe we missed something in the rules.

So we are mid campaign and didn’t want to transition rules. Also figured we wanted to wait for the MM before moving over fully.

But we just did a one shot and figured. Hey let’s check the rules out.

Mastery on every attack for martial presented some issues. Mainly topple.

We had two fighters. A barbarian. And a warlock using true strike who took one level of fighter. Since he was a celestial lock he was triple dipping cha for damage. This dude was obliterating people with a maul. But the fighter and barbarian used mauls. And I and all the fighters also carried tridents.

This seemed to be a bit much. Everything was always prone. And all the martials had constant advantage.

But on top of that. Bc it required a a save the dm constantly had to stop to roll saving throws for every single attack.

It really bogged down combat. And it seemed to deflate the dm bc everyone of his NPCs was on the ground.

Anyone else run into this issue?
