There are over 200 spells. Even with 99% balance, that 1% is what everyone complains about. Also, it's not in 2024.

So I'm settling on sorcerer, but half caster and double metamagic and points. I think that could pass, and be different enough.

They reuse spells all the time in 5e. Warlocks can cast Levitate at-will, self only. Dragon Sorcerer can summon a dragon without concentration. And the UA psion can cast spells without verbal components, which works just fine. Just don't want yet another full caster. Do something different.

Probably not worth it, but Archfey 5 gets plant growth. Which also works great with Push. Gaze of Two Minds is also really fun. Am I missing any other good sorcerer zones?

It kind of already exsists. A mid level cleric has enough Command's to grant at-will-enough opportunity attacks, and no one claims that's overpowered. Battlemaster 15 can do it at-will. Haste also exsists, which grants extra action. I.e. As an action, one ally within 30' can immediately take...

It's a little better than that, because 20' difficult terrain. Even if they save, they may still need to spend their action to Dash instead of attack. Yes, I wasn't assuming hex past the first few levels. But it's still nice to have in your back pocket. True, but it can help add control for...

Speaking of... I could get behind Psion as a half caster + Augment points.

Depends on how many augments you get. A level 11 sorcerer has 26 spells, and 6 cantrips. So 32 choice each turn, not counting upcasting. 128 if you include a choice of 4 metamagic. If you have 6 augments, and choose 2 per spell, that's 30 combinations. (+1 or 2 free augments from your...

I'd be fine with a mosrly THP warlord. With a side of Healers feat.

I assume 3 web is equal to BM control. That's your 3 level 2 slots. If they are stuck in the web, you have advantage. if they get out, spend SP to push them back in. +Allies benefit as well. +works on zombies Still leaves the battlemaster ahead at 7 though, and the breakpoint at 11, when...

+2 level 3 slots = 21 6 more beams (no Hex) = +36 326.3 + 26 = 362.2 So yea, I conceded Battlemaster is still ahead at level 7. Though actually... (1d10+4)*3 = 28.5 * .6 = 17.1 Vs 8d6 = 28 * .6 + 14*.4 = 22.4 (+5 damage if combined with Web) Vs (1d10+4+1d6) * 3 = 39 * .6 = 23.4 You're...

Kinda. But even more "build a spell". And subclass let's you use one for free. I.e. Base 1d8+Int, spend up to 2 points. Then make it a cone/line/burst/melee (melee is free to Biomancer) Then make it shove (free as a Telekinetic) Them make it fire and increase it 4d10 (free as a Pyrokinetic)...

Different from yet another spell caster. Specifically, some kind cantrip + augmen + Points. Closer to a ranged Monk than anything else. Mind Blast Make a ranged attack within 30', you deal 1d8+Int Psychic damage. Increasing to 4d8+Int. You can reduce the damage by 1 die size to increase the...

Whatever one Psion would be in. My guess is Darksun.

That's not true. They are still need to make something for the book. Red is voting for something completely different. Of course, I can vote Red for "Spellcasting", which is the part that I don't like.

+10% to hit * 6 attacks = 60% chance to hit. Admittedly, i spend about as much time trying to estimate than if I had just done the math normally. Except Web is a fair bit better than Frightened Advantage on attacks if they failed. They get out, you push them back in. Difficult terrain where...

Red. Don't want yet another caster. Make it Focus points, same as the Monk. Subclasses seem good.

Well depends on what you mean by "long time". Battlemaster has the head start, though Hex helps warlock stay close. Assuming... 3 Action surge = +3/6 attacks archery style = +1/2 attack +1 Dex = +2 attacks. frighten = Web (including pushing into it) Hex = +2/4 attacks 1 Sorcerer Point = 1...

And the difficult terrain, and pushing them into it. Sure. There's a spectrum here. But you can adapt for each fight. If there's a flying ranged creature, use Hex A corridor with a bunch of melee, use Web. You can move it now. Not even counting allies getting opportunity attacks when they...

True. If you only have 1 ray and miss, Seeking would be a cheaper Quicken. And even with 2 rays rerolling a missed attack would cost the same SP cost. But really, I would only use Hex until level 5 (W2/S3) then swap to Quicken + Web / Cloud of Daggers / Hypnotic Pattern. Push enemies into...
