Does dnd feel like a dps race to anyone else? /u/some_random_nonsense DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Does dnd feel like a dps race to anyone else? /u/some_random_nonsense DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Ive been getting back into DMing after years of not paying, and i made the mistake of letting my party be a fighter, monk, barb, and dps bard. Now the whole team just focuses on winning their 1v1s. before that i was a player with the same table and we had a warlock, barb, bard, and something else if forgot, but it was a very high level, 15 at the end so all of my bard spells just got resisted.

In both games it felt the the encounter played out almost proscribed with people just running to the nearest goon and swinging on them.

From my own position as a DM it just feels so boring because if i ever make mildly hard encounter the players will get bodied. The numbers just dont add up fast enough.

What are i and my players missing? what utility items and spells exist that were just not using? (besides all of them) are their powerful buffs my players are just ignoring? i hear a lot about bards, clerics, and wizards having powerful cc and utility.

for reference im asking this at levels 1, 5, 10, and 15. we usually play in the 5-10 range tho.

my goal is to gently, or roughly if i have to, encourage my players to diversify their classes and actions a bit. am i wrong in doing so? is dnd just a dps race?

Drawing of my tiefling warlock [art] /u/eddie_munson_only DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Here’s my dnd character from my most recent Champaign. I play since 2 years. I drew him cause I really like and care bout my character. For any infos about the drawing I used a simple pencil and an old notebook that my mom gave me. He was born in a village of aasimars so he was bullied a lot. If that desc isn’t sufficient I am gonna cry fr fr. sorry for the mistakes. Any request dm me u/eddie_munson_only 🙂

Instead of the usual sweet and efficient Elves, this year’s Christmas gifts are being prepared by chaotic and clumsy Goblins. No one can say if your gift will be a cuddly teddy bear or a stick of dynamite. It’s best to intervene before someone gets hurt. [22×16] [OC] /u/DarkestMaps DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I want to make a riddle that only the not so bright Barbarian can solve /u/crustdrunk DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I want to make a riddle that only the not so bright Barbarian can solve /u/crustdrunk DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Player 1 – very logical person, doesn’t metagame but does play a wizard so isn’t unintelligent in character

Player 2 – over enthusiastic new to dnd, his character is basically his irl hyperactive self that will spend hours working something out

Player 3 – chilled out dude who likes to backstreet drive as the Tank Protector ™️ , has 9 intelligence and is illiterate (but not unwise)

Any ideas for a puzzle or riddle that might keep the other two searching for a deeper meaning while the barb realises the answer is “smash door” or something like that ?
