If I remember correctly (It's been a VERY long time since I've seen the anime, forgive me) the series starts with characters being possessed by a spirit that lets them fight with the skill of that spirit, but later the shamans channel the spirit into an object and let's them do cool spirit magic...

Hey glad to see you've updated this with the new subclasses so quickly! There's two small things I'd disagree on. I think the Archivist has plenty of spells for it's mind-smite thing, after all it has the same number as the Paladin and they get along just fine. Second, I'd definitely rate the...

Mmkay, I see that. I always pictured them as more blasters than anything but you raise a fair point with Stunning Strike But take a look at the video I linked. It's about rule of cool more than anything. I find Gun Kata to be absolutely wickedly awesome and I want to do THAT, and I'm trying to...

The big appeal for me was the bonus action shot. I feel like Kensei is an overall better subclass, but Pistol fulfills the fantasy of weaving guns and martial arts a lot better. Minus the, uh, sex appeal I really just wanna do this. Kensei doesn't *quite* get me there, but Pistol is like a...

Yeah I can definitely see the comparison. I think it has more in common with Kensei though for a couple of reasons. Sun Soul really wants to be a ranged blaster, and gets a few interesting AoE options as well. near as I can tell Sun Soul never wants to be in melee if it can avoid it since it's...

Okay, so full disclosure: I just got a tooth pulled and I may not be thinking at my 100%. I encourage anyone to double check my math. Comparing the Way of the Pistol, I actually found things to be (mostly) balanced between the Kensei and the Pistol monk. I'm going to do a side by side...

You're right, I missed it was in a subclass. No need to get all hostile with the bold and whatnot. It was being compared to a different 17th level subclass ability. Edit: Oh now I see the edit lol. Sorry

Blue, The monk already gets a save-or-die power baseline. It's Quivering Palm. I can understand the rest of that though, for sure. Too bad, I really like it thematically. I might take a crack at writing something myself, I'm not sure. I've kind of fallen in love with the concept at this point...

I'm going to be playing in a Wild West themed game soon (I'm so excited!) and I found this subclass online. I want to make sure its balanced before I commit to it. I have already gotten then DMs permission but I figured a quick balance pass couldn't hurt. I just don't want to break anything. The...

I personally wouldn't allow it in my game. I hate how much of the ranger's stuff is dependant on the campaign. Like, half their class features stop working without the right terrain and enemy to fight and they don't need more of that.

This was how I interpreted it as well.

CR is one of those things I desperately wanted to like, but just could not get into. I love all the actors and they seem like genuinely good people, but their tendency to meander, and drag things out really grates on me. And Matt Mercer is so well spoken, and detailed, but I just don't need to...

There is scaling, it's just not as flashy. Remember as you level up you get access to more infusions. At level 5 you get double attack. At 9th you get 3rd level spells. At 12th you unlock the 3rd tier of infusions, and 13th you get 4th level spells. 16th you get the strongest infusions in the...
