D&D (2024) 4/26 Playtest: The Fighter

[Kinematics]

I thought indomitable use to go up to 3/day.

It was 1/day at 9th, 2/day at 13th, and 3/day at 17th.

Now it's 1/day at 9th, and 5/day at 17th, assuming you're not using your Second Wind otherwise (which is likely, given higher hit points and the low scaling on Second Wind).

The long stretch of only 1 use per day is a bit of a concern, but the final value is an improvement.

I am pretty fine with the Weapon Mastery system (with tweaks, of course), taking into consideration that there are also fighting style feats and battlemaster maneuvers that give other weapon attack options, so warriors can opt into even more complexity if they want. The Design team needs to compare the Mastery abilities to other control-style feats and maneuvers to make sure they stack (or don't stack in some cases) properly.

I found the swaping mastery too restrictive, both in when you used, the level it's gained and the restrictions the mastery has
A step in the right direction but it needs a bit more freedom.
It would be very cool to be able to make the swap at the beginning of your turn X times per day, so you can actually adapt to the situation and be versatile about the mastery you use

I would make: level 5 you can swap at long rest, level 7 you can swap at the beginning of your turn, level 11 can swap betwwen attacks, level 13 can use two masteries at once or unlocks more pwerfull ones that daze or blind

It is very obvious that more attention and love was put into the Mage Classes.

 

[Minigiant]

Over All as a new class this would be 4 out of 10 but the fighter as is was a 2 out of 10 so big improvement.

The fighter went from being only good at 1.5 things to only being good at 2 things.

Yup that’s what D&D is now. Casters

 

[Vaalingrade]

The idea of Persuasion being on the class list being the greatest flavor victory is depressing--especially when it is technically accurate.

 

[The Shadow]

Yup that’s what D&D is now. Casters

Now?! Seriously?

Technically right is the best kind of right even in a grim situation like this.

 

[Eubani]

I think a change as simple Indomitable extending to ability checks would be a good start.
