Oh boy. Being currently in the middle of a co-op playthrough of this, I can safely say you're in for a ride.

To be honest, that's a problem older then 5E. Famously, Baldur's Gate 2 (which ran on a modified version of 2E... I think) let you grab a ring that set your Charisma to 18 very early, making it an obvious dump stat for any non-imported character.

You can set up some pretty spectacular accidents to befall your targets there.

Well, for one, characters generally don't react to objects being moved around. That includes flammable and explosive barrels.

Honestly, I think doing it the other way around - allowing for resting (at your discretion) but limiting the respecs to, say, the first time you get the character, would make for a more interesting if less well optimized playthrough.

I was wondering how you'd approach that one. Seems I severely underestimated the damage of thrown items.
