Is it possible to add higher expertise dice to the options? My rogue now has a d10 expertise die with a poisoner's kit (several rogue knacks, the cutthroat subclass), but they are not in the selection list. If I fill it in manually, it doesn't work either.

I think one problem is that the Biting Zephyr basically already adds most of what you would want as an archer; more range, safety in melee, some tricks. The same goes for the only ranged fighter subclass: Sharpshooter. You basically get all you ever need at level 3. So generic bow-character will...

I mean, if I were to write a new tabletop system, I would absolutely steal all the good stuff from other editions and write new mechanics for the stuff that I didn't like or had good/better ideas about...

I could see an adaptation of the 3.5E Summoner getting Con/Cha save proficiencies. A class that has a narrow list of supporting spells, and focuses on using a very modular permanent companion for the majority of combat power. There is a very fine line regarding balance here, as making the caster...

I think the difference is mainly that now even small races can get access to dex-based d12 weapons, which they otherwise could not (kusarigama with Feel My Sting would make a non-heavy d12 str weapon that still allows for Furious Critical). Dual wielding is not a problem with Queen Bee at least...

Very cool, thanks for the clarification! I will be playing the character (Dex Kobold Queen Bee Berserker) in the upcoming weeks, if it feels problematically powerful or overtuned I will let you know.

I have been trying to solve a very similar puzzle over the last weeks: A Dex-based Kobold Queen Bee Berserker. The Kasurigama solves one of the problems, but not the other. It is a dual-wielding two-handed weapon, which would qualify for Feel My Sting and Furious Critical without the need for...

Oh that is relatively easy, as all the regular attacks fall out and the only concern is missing: 0.25 * 0 + 0.75 * [(0.25 * (7+4) * 2) + 0.75 * {0.25 * (7+4) * 4 + 0.75 * (7+4) * 6}] = 38.16. Multiattack and usage of Cleaving Strikes would net you: 38.16*2 + 0.9375*38.16 = 112.10 expected...

It is, I tried to make it more clear by using the brackets. The calculation is a single attack with advantage, with the second attack gated behind the first crit (hence the 0.2775 multiplier), and the third attack is gated behind the second crit (hence the 0.2775 multiplier within the first crit...

Some numbers for perspective. Assuming 50% base chance to hit, 18 strength, advantage, a greatsword, and 18-20 crit range using relentless attack on a critical hit. I don't know if the extended crit range of the weapon also increases chance to hit or damage. If that is the case, the damage would...

My bad, I didn't see a mention of the specific range so I assumed 19-20. But 18-20 and 4 attacks shifts the numbers a bit. 28% chance to crit with advantage may be overdoing it a bit yeah. That's only a 27% chance to not crit in a turn. I have played the other way around in a campaign once, I...

Attacks on an extended crit range (19-20) have a 19% crit chance with advantage. So getting multiple in a row is lucky but will happen somewhat frequently. When getting 2 attacks per action (at lvl 5), there's almost a 35% chance of at least one of them being a crit (given advantage and 19-20...

The Skull Goblet can be used as a spellcasting focus for Warlock spells. As long as the goblet is filled with the blood of a humanoid creature, you can cast Blood-Writ Bargain, targeting that creature regardless of whether it is willing. The blood then evaporates from the goblet in trail of...

I love the extended weapon traits in this system, it makes it that little bit more interesting to pick a certain weapon over another. Though I have some nitpicks with things like a warhammer having the breaker trait, while axes and picks have certain materials added to their traits (meaning a...

Yeah, it's mostly a balance thing... Of course it's not intended to be used in a loophole way to poison 3 tridents as ammunition, and then making melee attacks with 3 of them to guarantee 3 poison hits, but viewing them as weapons for spear throwers makes it a worst of both worlds scenario, as...

Spear throwers do seem to be almost perfect for rogues though, if you can get the proficiency for them somewhere. Since they have the range (80/320) trait they count as ranged weapons (so sneak attack viable) and use dex, as opposed to thrown javelins, and the loading part is no problem at all...

Our group has been using the A5E character sheet in R20 for a couple of weeks now, and most of it works great, so amazing work! Two proposed fixes/updates: 1. When adding additional tools to the skills and tools proficiency field, the field size does not update and cannot be resized (so the...
