    D&D (2024) Weapon Mastery + Cunning Strike+ Battle Master

    okay ongoing saves make sense... maybe every day that is why the spirit can take long rest quicker to recover while it still has the body. making it's own stat block/spell list I will think about but YES this spirt has a name and a background I will put that in a later post I didn't think of a...

    D&D 5E Help me balance crazy over the top artifacts

    thank you for your thoughts, I am not willing to completly forgo my idea though, tweeks would be cool but I am not trashing it for something else. the game starts at 1st level but I figure the Helm can't come in until 5th at least.
