Ok so, Weapon Master could look something like: Weapon Master Feat General Feat (Prerequisite: Level 4+) You gain the following benefits. Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. Quick Draw: You gain one additional free object interaction on...

I think the scimitar nick ability was purely to facilitate dual wielding scimitars which it does not do effectively because of the short sword. It also makes the real world fighting style of rapier and dagger a specialist fighting style that requires the dual wielder feat, which feels wrong...

Personally, I really dislike the notion that you can draw AND sheath multiple weapons in a 6 second round. I much preferred the 5.14 rule that drawing or sheathing a weapon is either a free object interaction or an action (using one your attacks if you have multiple attacks). Given that...

I'm baffled that they are still so reluctant to use a version of Battlemaster warlord type manoeuvres for Bannerets. Even if you scaled back the dice to 1d6 or reduced the number of manoeuvres or dice by half. Given that some might argue balance, my tweak will probably be to give them a free...

I interspersed some Living Greyhawk modules and some of the Rod of Seven parts (but the still don't have part 6). They are just about to assist in the second siege of Gorna so I think we will power through the last 6 modules dealing with the giants before going back to AoW. Maybe it's the...

I believe in 1e, only fighters, rangers, and paladins - all of whom were likely to already have strength 16+ - could use the belts.

What we're finding is more that Barbarians have more hp and more ways to preserve those hp. Toughness will help but can be taken by anyone. I would have preferred fighters to have had an ability called Tactical Withdrawal where they can impose disadvantage on opportunity attacks and (at...

I'm not obsessed with stats to be honest - I just think fighters need more HP. All I'm saying is that there should an option with mechanical benefits for players who fancy playing an intelligent, non-magical fighter. Fighters shouldn't be forced to be stupid because that 14 really should go...

I'm not sure I want more dex feats but yeah, something like that. At-will commander's strike might be a bit much when you consider the other option is one manoeuvre per short rest but you could certainly allow it a number of times per short rest equal to your intelligence modifier without bonus...

Exactly. All magical. I do view psionics as a form of magic, just not arcane magic. Certainly, they aren't purely martial. A player wanting a martial character who is intelligent should have an option without being magical. The tactical warlord in 4e showed that there is an archetype that...

I'm not familiar with any intelligence based fighter subclasses that aren't also spell-casters. I would love more variation in martial classes. Back in 1e, half the group would be martial, largely due to variations of fighters anf fighter thieves, although rangers also started out as martial...

Personally I would like to see options to encourage both like in 4e. Adding half int bonus rounded up to initiative and persuasion might discourage total stat dumping. Adding Charisma to second wind healing might be an alternative. I think there needs to be more reason for non wizards not to...

I felt that giving them the d6 superiority dice plus the manoeuvre that boosted cha checks and one other warlord style manoeuvre instead of proficiency in persuasion would be a start. Can supplement at higher levels and with feats. Their other class features are not like battlemasters at all.

Yes, coin a phrase from A5E, you could grant an expertise die on melee damage and boost the die up the ranks 1d4 ogres up to 1d12 Storm without affecting attack rolls but that isn't qualitatively that different to +4 to strength. Maybe charges per day for certain feats of strength is better.

Bannerets should have access to warlord type battlemaster manoeuvres with d6 dice. They could have a class feature that let's them make diplomacy rolls to communicate even where intelligent beings lack a common language. To be fair, I'd prefer to let anybody try this up to a point.
