    D&D 5E Cantrip Warrior

    Whew, old post. If you like this, I would highly recommend picking up Complete Warmage from our store. It's a much more balanced and well put together iteration of the class. Also, it's cheap, so you've got that going for you!

    Fighter Martial Archtype: Kensai

    I will seriously Consider this. I'd like to make archetypes that build off one or two of the Martial Disciplines from Tome Of Battle, and I think I could make something that focuses on Str + Dex a possibility, Maybe for Tiger Claw. In that instance, I wouldn't use Ki as a mechanism, maybe...

    Fighter Martial Archtype: Kensai

    I have no idea. The red circle makes him look like Bloodshot, but other than that it was just a cool picture I found.

    Fighter Martial Archtype: Kensai

    The idea here is that it's essentially martial arts for a fighter. I don't see it as a real problem: A polearm fighter will be doing 1d10+str+1d4+str at first or fourth level, and this is exactly that. I don't really disagree with you, but I don't really have another place to put it, and its a...

    Fighter Martial Archtype: Kensai

    The general idea of this class is a combination of Fighter and monk. That being said, the "pommel Strike" extra attack is mechanically equal to the feature a monk gets at level 1. Think of Kenjutsu as Martial Arts, just slightly more restrictive. Also, and you made the point yourself, The...

    Fighter Martial Archtype: Kensai

    Martial Archtype: Kensai While others may devote themselves to strengthening their body to inhuman levels, leading a thousand men in mass combat, or in the subtle and deliberate arts of magic, the kensai has chosen to devote himself to perfecting his techniqe, and the will that guides it. By...

    The Witcher setting conversion

    I made a few edits, hopefully those abilities are a bit more balanced. You're right, I really do need to read the books; I really love Geralt's story, and I'd like to see how much has bled over from the novels. To your point about Extra Attack, paladins get both Extra attack and Improved Divine...

    The Witcher setting conversion

    So...Ive built this over the past couple days, and it hasn't really gotten the traction I thought it would. Since you just so happened to build a (much nicer looking) version, I'd like to get your opinion on my interpretation. Keep in mind: based solely off of my experience with The wild Hunt...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Is there a 5E Binder / Pact Magic (from 3.5 Tome of Magic) version?

    I've done one as a retrofit onto the Warlock class. Haven't gotten a lot of feedback, so I'd love to have some people check it out! http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?419994-Warlock-Patron-Vestiges-(Binder)

    D&D 5E Does an item to enhance Unarmed Strike exist?

    Don't forget about the Monk's Belt/Monk's Robe! That was one of the go-to items in previous editions that hasn't surfaced yet. The version I made for my players was Very Rare, allowed them to treat their Monk abilities (Unarmed damage, Ki points, and unarmored Movement speed) as if they were 5...

    D&D 5E Pact of the Blade / Bladelock, looking for thoughts

    Yes. Invocations are a great way to add things to Warlock without changing the structure of the class - Pact combat: (pre-req: level 3, Pact of the Blade) You gain a fighting style from one of the following list: Dueling, Two Weapon Fighting, Defensive, Great Weapon Fighting, Mariner. You may...

    D&D 5E Convince me we're doing the Warlock wrong

    I will say that I tend to agree with you on most parts of this. I'm playing a BP warlock, but with a Homebrew Patron that grants Medium armor prof, Shields, and the Defense fighting style; certainly hasn't been overpowered (I've been hit plenty), but it is a LOT more survivable than I am...

    D&D 5E Convince me we're doing the Warlock wrong

    Since i'm coming at it from the perspective of the 3.5 warlock, I think it works just fine, if not better than intended. The old version was a somewhat enhanced regular person with a magic laser rifle; this one isn't much different. the fact that it has spell slots AT ALL was a surprise to me...
