okay i admit that was my mistake, i read the part about 'no extra ASI at char gen' and saw you had added them directly to the array but ended up missing the part about no ASI from feats or level up either, in that context where the character's aren't gaining stats it's more understandable why...

it got linked in a thread while stat generation methods were being discussed.

do you actually consider (what is close enough to basically be) the standard array+mods to be restrictive enough to be defined as 'gritty'? if i had to provide what i'd define as a 'gritty array' (again, including mods) it'd probably end up looking something like: 14(+2), 11(+0), 10(+0), 9(-1)...

just because i know i'm never going to use one for a real game i wouldn't mind having a mock run through on here, just for fun. edit: i hadn't looked at that link and thought you were referencing el-remmen's stat draft that gets mentioned in that thread, snarf's still seems interesting but...

because there is a far FAR greater number and range of things that spells cover than just damage+minor effect, the sorcerer would know 22! spells at first level this way, 14 of which are a range of support, utility and other non-damaging effects, there are 8 masteries in total, eight, it looks...

free pick?

sure we can roll for stats, just so long as everyone has to use the same set of resulting stats.

i think this is perhaps nitpicking the accuracy of the replication of the facts, an owl has a flyspeed and a frog has a swimspeed in the game because...owls fly and frogs swim in real life, it might not be a perfect portrayal but it's still representing something true.

i could appreciate the idea of +crit chance(vicious), +crit damage(brutal) and +to hit(accurate) masteries

i guess i'm just not seeing that the things you're claiming as problems are actually issues, having your most used spells transmuted is i feel less of a vertical move in power and more of a horizontal one as well as being one that very much feeds into the flavour of the subclass, so i'm not...

hmmm, PB uses of free [associated element] transmuted spell feels a little toothless to me (if i understood correctly what you were suggesting), maybe split the difference and say you get to pick PB number of specific spells that you can always transmute to your element free of cost?

personally i can't say i love the limited daily flight time, it's one of the things i disliked about the energy wings, if a creature has the capability to fly under it's own steam then i don't think that's something they would only be able to do once a day, something i've written up previously...

when i think of what makes a dragon-man my first thought is absolutely not giving them four arms, Wizards needs to figure out to balance physical wings and not this energy-wing nonsense. i can appreciate trying to distinguish dragonborn and lizardfolk though but this is not the way i would try...

to be fair i didn't say that was what it is but what it's trying/wanting to be.

from what i know of john wick (admittedly only vague knowledge) i'd say it's half of what a high level fighter is trying/wants to be, the other half is MCU hulk/thor-esc physical capability. but that's a conversational rabbit hole i'm not looking to open up again in this thread right now.
