There are a bunch of different systems available with varying levels of crunch and flexibility and some of the more flexible ones can handle things like wanting to be a skeleton necromancer without too much difficulty or rebalancing required. You can certainly have fun hacking DND-5E, but it has a lot of moving parts and it's easy to end up breaking things pretty badly.
May 24, 2019 at 21:25 comment added Ariel Nessi @NautArch Yes I'll grant my advice may backfire in terms of requiring the DM to sort alot of things on the fly. I only suggested most of it bc it seems OP has played enough times to be driven mad by something. And so probably is quite used to basic mechanics

May 24, 2019 at 20:47 comment added V2Blast People aren't required to justify downvotes. That said, some of the downvotes might just be for suggesting "let the characters be OP if you want", but I do think it's somewhat supported by your own experiences as described in the answer. It might be better to elaborate on those experiences and how it has affected that game as a whole - did you have fun? did you have trouble balancing encounters? etc.
