I have been runing as a PC in another 5E campaign for years so I have a decent understanding of the rules set. As a DM, we are soon starting a new 5E campaign that will run from 1st to 20th character levels. What I was curious to know is does anyone have any simple houserules or fixes that could do the same for 5E in the later tiers of play?
One thought I had was requiring at least 4 levels of multiclassing by 20th level so as to limit the highest level of spells (maybe requiring 2 class levels taken before reaching 10th character level, and 2 after 10th). I am not interested in doing any extensive rewrites or "line-item" houserules I am just looking for a simple "patch" that will tone the casters down a bit after 10th level so the martials don't begin to feel worthless. Half my table only plays martials (they literally refuse to play casters) and I don't what them to become obsolete in the back half of the campaign.
Any suggestions?
