“It’s probably Matt Mercer’s fault.”
Is the idea crazy?
Implications:
For rule symmetry it would probably make sense to just say that all Versatile weapons are finesse when used with two hands. I can’t quite picture it with axes and hammers, with their balance points at the other end, but it would open up more options and not actually break anything.
Thoughts? Am I overlooking an exploit/loophole?
Implications:
- A rogue could sneak attack with a d10 weapon, but would sacrifice two attacks with d6 weapons, which means only one chance at sneak attack
- In general elven proficiency would no longer be totally worthless
- Archers (fighters and rangers) would have a cool alternative to dual wielding
- The “unarmored swordsman” archetype would have viable builds other than Kensei
