Level 19 minor features for balance

[snafuy]

At 19th level, most classes get an ASI and a mid-level spell slot; a plurality get a little on top of that.
Therefore, some classes deserve a bonus feature with value comparable to a 5th level spell per day.


Barbarian
ASI only


Fighter
ASI only


Monk
ASI, ki point


Warlock
ASI, spell known


Rogue
ASI, 1d6 sneak attack


Bard
ASI, 6th level slot


Paladin
ASI, 5th level slot


Cleric
ASI, 6th level slot, spell prepared


Druid
ASI, 6th level slot, spell prepared


Ranger
ASI, 5th level slot, spell known


Sorcerer
ASI, 6th level slot, sorcery point


Wizard
ASI, 6th level slot, spell prepared


Adding a half ASI allows the character to either bump up an odd stat to a break point, or take a half feat like Athlete or Observant while still gaining +2 to stats.


Barbarian: Either increase an ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20, or increase an ability score by 2, to a maximum of 14.
Fighter: Your ability score increase can increase Strength or Constitution beyond 20. If you do not do so, increase an ability score by 1, to a maximum of 18.
Monk: Increase an ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Warlock: Increase an ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Rogue is a borderline case; +1d6 damage per turn (sometimes none without a melee partner, sometimes 2 per round with an opportunity attack) is a bit weaker than a 3rd level Hunter's Mark. They get a ribbon.


Rogue 19: Either gain a language proficiency, or gain two proficiencies with gaming sets or instruments.

Honestly, I don't see it as an issue. Classes aren't 100% perfectly balanced at every single level-they're close enough, and that's enough for me.

Also, your Fighter suggestion completely ignores Dex-Fighters.
