Yes, I am aware of Superior Technique and the Martial Adept feat. The fighter gets one paltry use between rests with the former, and have to choose between it and a Fighting Style. After that, they're still restricted to deciding on one single maneuver they can access. Why does the fighter have...

100% true. 100% not true. I want a fighter who can impale in a straight line to hit two foes. I want a fighter who can bash a target over the head to inflict status effects. I want a fighter who can force their opponent backward and cede ground. I want a fighter who can jump in front of an...

From what I remember, the WWN mages were also far more restricted in the number of spells they get per day. They didn't have access to scaling cantrips either. It's a design more suited for deadlier, OSR-style games which I don't see being what the majority of modern D&D gamers want. One big...

The Rune Knight build you've provided basically sacrifices every subclass feature in exchange for out of combat utility. That's not a sacrifice any caster has to make, because they get good features for both combat and non-combat pillars. Up to level 12, that build is solely relying on Extra...

I have to ask. In what world can this character be even competent in combat? You have 10 CON, which means you'll only have HP equal to a standard wizard of the same level with 14 CON. You have 16 DEX and the only feat you listed that can increase your DEX ability is Skill Expert, so you're...
