If used correctly it has a huge variety of uses in and out of combat, but I’m going to focus on its combat prowess for now. For example a crystal that ties the fire elemental to the material plane. In this instance, I would recommend adding in something that ties the creature to the world. However, you can do workarounds if your final boss is from another plane and removing them from the fight prematurely would cause the adventure or campaign to fall short. Banishment is powerful yes, but generally won’t be usable until the quest is nearing its conclusion. In almost all instances, I would allow banishment. This will give ALL the players the chance to prepare to attack the single monster before it gets a chance to react. Additionally if the caster is smart, they can defeat all the enemies while maintaining concentration. I have had multiple instances that a creature was banished leaving its allies dangerously outmatched by the players. The biggest difficulties that Banishment might cause a DM is when campaigns focus on otherworldly creatures or when a character uses it to single out an enemy. I put it on the list as it is a save or die spell for otherworldly creatures. This spell is much more straightforward than the remove curse for. The bane of all demons and otherworldly creatures, Banishment can be extremely game breaking if used in the right instance. With the example of my player, a cleric attempted to heal her curse and nearly died for the effort.

Curses of this caliper would not be effected in anyway. An example would be a character that is cursed to be a vassal of Lloth when she gains enough power. The last way to deal with this 5e game-breaking spell is in the instance of a significantly powerful curse. Instead of burning in daylight, perhaps the vampire now just only suffers disadvantage on checks that require sight. In this case, I would allow the spell to work, but instead of curing the vampirism it lessens the strength of the curse. An example would be casting the spell on someone cursed with vampirism. If the curse was caused by a stronger caster than I like to allow the spell to work in various stages. If a stronger caster or circumstance cursed the creature then the remove curse can have varying affects.

I like to award my player’s for spell choice, so if the caster of the curse is weak I allow the spell to succeed. My personal work around for this instance varies depending on the curse. What do you do as a DM in this circumstance? Do you outlaw it or say it doesn’t work?

If a quest is built on the premise that the player’s must save a NPC from a curse or is afflicted by one, a remove curse can be absolutely game-breaking. Remove Curse can be the bane of a Dungeon Master’s existence if their quest is relating to a curse. Remove Curse is not overpowered in the traditional aspect however, it does break games in another way. I know you are probably thinking, “Remove Curse isn’t overpowered!” I would agree, but I’m not trying to fix overpowered, I’m trying to fix game-breaking. To begin with, I’m going to start with the lowest level spell remove curse. Some of the most easily attained of these are Polymorph, Resurrection, Remove Curse, Scrying, and Banishment. In order to shave down the time, I decided to focus on the spells that could most easily break your game. It only took a minute flipping through the PHB for me to determine that I need far more time than I have to cover all the game-breaking spells. I’m going to start off by saying this is far from being a complete guide to game-breaking 5e spells. While adjusting your story is going to happen, it shouldn’t happen regularly because of one or two spells.

That is until you, the DM, scrap the entire document you spent the last six hours making because the players are obviously not going to guard the son’s body as it is buried. A king’s deceased son being restored to life is pretty cool. The problem is after one of these spells are in play, the entirety of your campaign can fall into shambles. We all have had the displeasure of players using them.
