    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    I will probably change it to Shillelagh or Primal Savagery which still fits the bestial and physical powerhouse nature of said dragons. For context, the old "True Strike" spell just gave a flat +20 to hit and it only took a standard action. It pretty much guaranteed a hit hence the name "True...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    I like this but True Strike is practically useless if not just a downright hindrance. The exception is if you have a Sealed Drakonsoul Augmenter. That entire ability was designed to make it actually useful. Now for argument's sake, if the white dragon opened combat as an ambush it would be very...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    Here is V3. Again, if there are any weird errors, blame the communication between this site and OpenOffice. Sealed Drakonsoul Through a curse, alchemical accident, sentenced punishment by draconic leaders (or higher powers), self-imposed isolation or other mystical mishap, you are a dragon who...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    Here are the Subclasses. I don't know the 5e spells too well so please leave suggestions for spells that should be on each extended spell list. Same for the main class that will be posted right after this. Subclasses: Drakonsoul Awakening: Due to an inherent flaw with the ritual...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    This is what I have so far for my version of Invocations. If the spacing is weird in any area I missed, blame the funky copy and paste program. Still working on subclasses and will post them at the same time I finish the class. Post any Resurgence ideas as a reply. I think I should get at least...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    With a combination of subclasses and invocations (will be called Dragon Resurgence from now on), I have a lot to play with. The Draconic Augmenter will get spell slots as a 1/2 caster with a paladin spell list with some added from ranger and cleric depending on the dragon chosen. The Dragon...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    On second thought, what I was trying to do should be something similar to Warlock invocations with the chosen features being things that the dragons had normally. Something like gaining expertise in a skill the dragon had expertise with in their original form with a Lv5 requirement.

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    So I've been looking this over and comparing my original to it and I can't help but think that while they are similar, they are different takes on the same idea. As a result, I will be attempting to go a little crazy and make subclasses. I am thinking the class gets this at 1st, 7th, 10th, 15th...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    You are pretty good at this. Not quite what I was looking for but I guess that is what subclasses are for. I do have a few questions. 1. What is a terminus? When I look it up, I get a bunch of stuff on glaciers. 2. What is the save? Is it a Con, Dex, or is it based on the save of the original...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    I forget the opposing elements list so here it is. acid<-->lightning (throwback to how earth damage was acid and air damage was lightning in older editions) cold<-->fire (was there any question?) force<-->psychic (physical vs. mental) necrotic<-->radiant (again, was there any...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    Now this is interesting. This class probably works better for a NPC that is part of the character's backstory while the one I posted works better for my PC. I will look it over some more as I have already realized I have forgotten to consider aging and multiclassing. After all, the cursed dragon...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    This is V2 after some input Humanoid Cursed Dragon: this class is only available to dragons and sentient, non-huminoid half-dragons -qualifies for dragon, half-dragon, dragonborn, or any other dragon race feats -count as both dragon and humanoid (race chosen as the humanoid form) for item...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    I had one person of Reddit point out the broken combos one can do with the multiple spells and potentially take away from the uniqueness of other classes so I lowered it to 1 spell each time (total of 2). I did change your Draconic Origen ability a bit but it was well written.

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    I had someone point out on Reddit that the 2 spell thing was a bit powerful with potential combos in addition to other class features so I limited it to one spell making it equivalent to half a class feature. They can also potentially take what makes other classes special. the current updated...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    This helps a lot. For context, I am fairly new to 5e and am use to Pathfinder/3.5e. I do try to add too much to my characters. So I am going to remove a lot of stuff. Only have the 2 attacks (total) with that bonus action for spell option and spell at negative (may just remove this last one and...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    Again. This gives me nothing. This is already taking what exists and tweaking it but what I am asking is "where is it broken" and "what do you suggest to fix it." It does not take a game designer to say that. The theme is a draconic spellsword. If I need to remove/replace abilities, I will do...

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    That is not what this post is about. I am looking to balance this (a draconic take on a spellsword), not just have a copout of saying "too OP" with no inpuit.

    D&D 5E Help balancing a Humanoid Dragon class

    I'm assuming level 6+ spells do not regain on a short rest, as per normal warlock spell progression? I'm assuming that you do not get the Flexible Casting aspect of the sorceror's Font of Magic ability? This is effectively granting additional attacks. It should be at level 5 or 6 at least, or...
