    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    That is why I suggested an extra ASI, it lets you get a flat bonus or simply grab a feat to increase flexibility The point is to find a way to retain the simplified flavor of the class while making it viable for new players and experienced players. The changes I suggested introduce no new...

    D&D 5E 5E Wound/Vitality System

    Why not just make it a modification of the insant death rules? You have WP equal to you VP. Suprise weapon damage and crit weapon damage go to both VP and WP and you can't have more VP than your WP. If you go to zero WP it is instant death. You still go unconcious when you lose all VP, all extra...

    D&D 5E ASI's at Character Level instead of Class Level

    In what world is multiclassing too penalized? It is supposed to be a balance choice. "Do I go to 7 in this class for X class feature or just go 8 for the ASI". Without using RAW not only are you making multiclassing even more OP but you also create essentially dead levels which removes choice...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    I didn't have a query about feats And there is no reason to compare DPS on a battlemaster with defense because it isn't a dps build. If you are comparing an offensive champ vs a defensive BM and they come out even then you know that BM simply is a higher DPS class. If you want simplicity of...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    I think you missed my point. If you are comparing build DPS why would you have one build go with a DPS style and the other a defensive style? I am well aware many people choose RP over optimization. I was commenting on someone's hypothetical comparison, not critiquing possible champion builds...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    I was obviously being hyperbolic. Protector will save the party more damage. I suppose defense isn't the worst choice if you wish to use a sentinel + PAM build Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    Not sure why you gave battlemaster more attacks or why you gave champion duelist but not battlemaster. No fighter takes defense at level one. According to your stats if you gave the BM duelist he completely btfo champion Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    I don't think they need help at 3. They are already good enough at 3 for people to multiclass into it. I would say 7th - Combat Mastert: Gain all fighting styles 10th - Remarkable Athlete: Expertise in Athletics and Acrobatics. Gain one ASI Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    Everybody has discussed giving extra saving throw bonuses (Resilient) or other feat-like abilities (Shield Master). Why not simply take my suggestion and give them an extra ASI? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Bonus Actions vs Reactions

    Bonus actions can only be used on your turn. Reactions only work based off of a trigger. A spell would be better or worse based on the utility of the spell. Shield is worse as a bonus action because you don't know if you will be attacked. I would say generally reaction is stronger because it is...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    The differences in champions is feat based seemingly just like all Fighters. I proposed giving them am extra ASI to help differentiate since simple champion players could use it to just do another ability score increase or resilient Opening options doesn't make it more complex imo if those...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    That's one reason that I suggest giving all styles at lvl 10 (or 7 if you buff Remarkable Athlete enough to switch) and maybe call it Combat Mastery or Style Mastery. A) It simplifies the class (no longer a forced choice) B) It has minimal effect on power level C) It opens up gameplay options D)...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    It could work. Flavor wise it would probably be Dex. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    Looks interesting. Personally I would definitely give Expertise but I would indeed tie it to Athletics and Acrobatics specifically. I don't think I would give reliable talent, that might be overkill. I'm 50/50 on the speed boost, kinda fits. I like it because it does make the class more...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    Depends on how simple you want it. You can run all ability score upgrades or even grab resilient for another saving throw. If you wanted to give him more options maybe inspiring leader, mobile, lucky, etc. It simply makes the class more unique but in a fairly straightforward way. Atm champion is...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    This is what I was thinking. Higher crit range likely pushes dpr too high. Higher crit range early would break multiclassing. I definitely like the idea of giving champions all PHB fighting styles for "Additional Fighting Style" because A) It simplifies the class B) It doesn't make any specific...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    So you admit you don't know the quote. And increasing dpr for one encounter out of 50 is not a meaningful increase. Obviously the dpr increases in situations where you cannot use your true dpr but those situations are very few and generally mean your DM is favoring casters intentionally Sent...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    Provide the exact quote Overall DPR doesn't increase meaningfully if you use the lower pdr weapon 1 in 50 encounters. If your DM is putting more flying enemies than that without prior warning then he's trash because he's gimping classes with no warning. An extra feat does not increase dpr, just...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    No, the goal is less moving parts. And you have not shown how it increases dpr. Maybe in super specific circumstances it can but in any given fight it has ZERO affect on dpr. From this discussion it seems like my worries about it were unfounded. It is definitely balanced Sent from my SM-G920V...
