I think Voadam's point is that the rogue is proficient in six skills, not four. Edit: I realize now that you are saying 4+the expertise skills. It confused me, and possibly that is the reason behind Voadam's post.

Valda yelped a bit in pain from the bear biting her leg, and turned to face the creature, now reared up on two legs, slashing at it furiously. Unfortunately, the bite seemed to have injured the leg more than she had realized, and she lost her footing as she struck, requiring most of her...

Yah, the experience I and my group had was that 2014 Indomitable was awful. Probably 8/10 times, upon using it the reroll just failed anyway, so the ability felt low impact and a waste of time. The fact that it also was the only thing you got at level 9 when other people are getting cool stuff...

Dimly feeling the bear's swipe at her side, Valda called upon the runic magic of the stone giants to use against it before turning back to her own battle. With a bit of grim glee she pushed forward the attack on her original foe, striking with skilled and powerful strikes. Thank you for the...

+1 Studded Leather is slightly better because it can't be dispelled and doesn't require a spell slot every day. Mage Armor is of course way easier to get though.

Valda stabbed downward, barely looking, to make sure the armored hill giant warrior stayed down before stepping forward to engage some of the giants to the south. They appeared to be lesser combatants than the one she had just finished off, but they were still giants and that meant they were...

Sounds very cool

Valda, bruised and battered, struck out at the ogress engaging her, managing to draw blood as she called upon the runic magic that embodied the very foes they faced, hoping that the toughness and durability of a hill giant would manage to keep her on her feet. Should have used Hill Rune before...

I would like to use my reaction to use the Cloud Giant's Rune to redirect the 28 damage hit towards the Armored Hill Giant. -Cloud Rune: While wearing or carrying the rune, have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) and Charisma (Deception) checks. Can use my reaction to invoke the rune when...

I mean, it's slightly pedantic, but a single classed sorcerer or whatever wouldn't be able to get cleave anyway, right? The Rogue is the only class with a restricted weapon list that gets masteries, and they can only choose masteries of weapons that they are proficient with. So a single classed...

Pretty much. Also, it's kinda weird to call them weapon masteries, implying that they require dedication to achieve, and then everyone just kinda gets them. Not too much "mastery" in that. I'd argue that is why they don't have full caster progression, since they are splitting their focus.

As mentioned, there are already ways for classes without native access to obtain weapon masteries, either through feat or multiclassing. That may be a tough decision taking up an ASI for a casting stat, or slowing down new spell levels, but thems the breaks. New or revised subclasses might...

Valda hefted the new shield to get a feel for it's weight before taking swigs of the various potions that the rest of the group had found. She felt powerful as their effects took hold, and rushed into the room with a grim satisfaction, her already larger form continuing to grow as she drew upon...

I've got 66 hit points out of 92, so I'm not the worst off but could maybe use a potion or two, depending on what everyone thinks.

Valda rushes across the room, through the curtain that Quinn just fired his bolt of starlight through, advancing towards the remaining giants with a grim sort of glee. Just going to dash over to BJ54.
