GREAT WEAPON FIGHTING

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.

The weapon much have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

EDIT : Greatswords are pulling way ahead of greataxes with this, they now have 9 DPR vs 7.5 for greataxes (trap choice). But anyway, this is great news regardless. I'd rather a game that excludes axes from being the best, than have damage on a miss anywhere in it.

Diplomacy Always Over Magic.

Funny you mention magic, because Potent Cantrip is now at level 6 (was wondering where it went to in the starter wizard character sheet), but it appears to have no effect.

It basically says you deal 1/2 damage on a successful save (which is not the same thing as a miss, and people should finally realize that now, because without an attack roll, there is no aiming involved and therefore no chance to miss anyway), and there are three damage cantrips, none of which require a saving throw.

Until an errata comes in, this class feature does nothing in Basic D&D. I was going to say you could MC to get Sacred Flame if that possibly still triggers a saving throw instead of requires a hit, but there are no MC rules in Basic so it's moot.
