Hmm.... Maybe advantage on social checks for a number of minutes equal to the conviction die roll?Sadly I still don't have time to really dig as deep into this class as it deserves. But since nobody else is saying much:
I love the new powers. That's exactly the sort of thing I had in mind when I suggested expanding conviction into the other pillars.
The main thing I don't feel like I have a good opinion on is the fine tuning... Do the dice involved allow for any particularly over or under powered results that may not be intended? Haven't looked close enough to know, but that'd be my number 1 question if I was running this. E.g. Is adding a theoretical +10 (uncommon but by no means unreasonable on a d12 conviction) to social checks on a person for 10 minutes too much?
The math is like this:How does the math on conviction X4 compare to paladin smite? It's basically +4 in both cases but that's not totally accurate. Accurate enough for our purposes? At level one, 4d4 v 2d8 is slightly better.
I dunno. I think it looks good overall. Probably good enough for play testing.
4d4= Average roll 10, max roll 16
1st level slot (2d8)= Average roll 9, max roll 16
4d6= Average roll 14, max roll 24
2nd level slot (3d8)= Average roll 13.5, max roll 24
4d8 Conviction is the same as the 4d8 for a 3rd level spell slot, obviously
4d10= Average roll 22, max roll 40
4th level slot (5d8) = Average roll 22.5, max roll 40
4d12= Average roll 26, max roll 48
4th level slot (6d8) = Average roll 27, max roll 40
As you can see, it is pretty close! Slightly higher averages for 1st and 2nd level slots, no difference for 3rd level slots, and slightly lower average for 4th and 5th level slots.
Thank you for any and all feedback.
