Yeah, despite the adage that “dead is the best Condition,” damage is generally not the most efficient path to ending a combat encounter...

🤷‍♀️ Is the numerical difference significant? Sure. Doesn’t make it more versatile in any way. its still the exact same game action...

Yep, Battlemaster is the least boring fighter subclass. Tellingly, it was the one specifically designed to appeal to 4e fans. Yep...

I think class locked items are dumb in the first place. Like... why lock out a staff of fire? And no scrolls or potions qith RMI...
