How about simplifying Expertise? Expertise just means that you roll the d20 with Advantage. That's it. You could further this by having expert locks / whatever which apply Disadvantage to the roll, so those with Expertise roll normally.

Liberal use of Disjunction in 3E.

Missed this. If that's the case then I suggest that the class needs a rethink. Action Surge is the Fighter's 'Be a hero' (or anti-hero if you're bravely running away) power. The Fighter should be at least on a par without it.

I should hope so, but does that only apply if you use Action Surge for an extra Attack action? To me it was always far more, from running away or extra running (extra movement) to recuing an ally after a failed attempt to pushing an ally out of the way to so much more. It was the Fighter's 'let...

How does the Fighter compare with the Paladin, Ranger, and Barbarian for damage-dealing and general combat? I'm looking at 3rd and 11th levels in particular. Do you still have to use Action Surge to make up the damage difference? How are weapon masteries affecting combat? And I see that the...

Wait, what?

There's some seriously good art here!

I beg to differ. When you take a reaction it becomes your turn to act. Or re-act.

Except it's p. 127 says 'once on each of your turns'. It's not once per round or once on your initiative.

Then I invite you to read the text for Sneak Attack on p.129. There is no mention of Reaction. It's just 'once per turn'.

But when you act on a reaction it is your turn. Do you mean that Rogues can no longer Sneak Attack as a Reaction?

Really? You get an extra turn when it's your Reaction. It's not once per round. That limitation is not present in the text. You could first target A then B and if one or the other provokes a Reaction then you can attack both again.

PHB p.127 ISTM that Horde Breaker could give a level 3 Hunter Ranger four attacks per round - two on their Action and two on their Reaction. That seems a little too good to me. What do you think?

This is easily solvable by making a house rule that PCs may not start play with a stat greater than 16. Help players put their points elsewhere to create more rounded characters. Let me add two features I particularly like: Action Surge. Useful for so much more than an extra set of attacks...

Specifically the Champion makes running a second character / sidekick - the Champion - a breeze when you have only a few players.

I get mine from Amazon UK next Monday.

I'm not sure if it's better than the bonus attack from 5E PAM when wielding a one-handed spear. Note that if you have the Duellist fighting style PAM allows the +2 damage bonus from Duellist but this new feat does not.

What day is the FLGS release day?

You get a better bonus from 5E Duelling if you use a spear one-handed.

True, but you can use 5E Action Surge for extra movement - it's the Fighter's escape power - or to rescue a friend who's falling to their death - "I'll Action Surge and try to grab them." - or so much more. We had a whole thread some years ago about how bad the higher-level Fighter was at...
