It makes every monk and rogue into a gnome. That's the issue with penalties, they make you want extra bonuses.

I haven't seen any clarifications. By my reading a ranger 4/monk16 can grab 2 epic boons. But your waiting a long time without ability score increases, and still miss our on resistance, or walking though walls as a shadow monk.

Just out of curiosity. What are the new rules for size? I don't see any general rules besides "space you take up In combat", and being in other creatures spaces. And a few other ones like grapple, or "push large size or smaller". And I missing anything? So tiny gnome (with no other rules)...

Outclassed for damage maybe. But you miss resistance to all damage, and the epic boon.

Nothing stops you from playing a gnome with 8 Str. But the main issue is that the penalties are an excuse to add extra benefits (I.e. -4 Str means +2 Dex), But you can easily avoid any actual penalties (dual wield, cast spells).

Only if i can still wield a greataxe.

Elemental Radiant Burst is not a thing you would do often. Only when there's a group. Summon them ? dip cleric 1 Detect Good and Evil Thaumaturge (+Wis to Int skills) Guidance and healing Word are quite nice too. Cleric 1/Rogue 1/Elemental Radiant Monk x Throwing daggers of light.

If your DM is allowing damage swaps.. Then how about a element-but-radiant monk? Add Tavern Brawler so you use anything as a weapon, with scaling dice. And you get your Dex/Wis skill Maybe dip rogue 1 for expertise.

Your army goes village to village of your enemy, killing and taking their food, and burning their stuff for warmth.

Haste, for another cantrip. And if your willing to count chance, wild magic can get 2 more. Not reliably, but each non-cantrip can trigger another spell (or action to cast a spell). Edit: 4 more. 2 from tides or chaos, 2 from rolling 20 after casting a spell. Still need to roll a "spell"...

Guess I don't see what pact of the blade is doing for you then. Just for alternative damage types? Valor bard, Bladesinger, and Eldritch knight can. But that's a few levels up. Ok. Guess pact of the blade is for radiant damage then. Thematic. I'll also suggest Aasimar.

All my dragons now have 'chargin mah breath' and 'firing mah breath" But yea, I wouldn't over use it.

I've done similar with traps. Not to this level though.

Ok. Second attack can use Dex. Per the free rules... Light When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a Light weapon, you can make one extra attack as a Bonus Action later on the same turn.

I rarely see people swap what they are holding in combat. Mostly because they took a feat / options / items that makes them good at that particular thing. I.e. great weapon master with a +2 greatswoed ,isn't going to swap to a dagger very often.

Do we know that? Some alt history speculation. Perhaps the mark made it easy to become undead. When you die, you become an undead. Perhaps you slowly decay into one while still alive, and also infect the mark on others. It was the families around those with the mark got into necromancy in...

Pact of the Blade only affects 1 weapon, not 2. I don't see how your replacing an attack with GFB. Valor Bard, Eldritch Knight, and Bladesinger can do that, but it takes more than a dip. Consider Dance Bard 3, which will give you expertise for stealth and Dex+Cha for AC. Extra spell slots for...

It's already a cleric. But yea. Druids would work well with this too. True. Less slots on healing allows for more on Bless, would means more hits and more push/slows.

Compared to 60' cantrips? Not sure how that makes a difference. And your using Str over Wis, so any control spells (command) is less likely to land. I don't have a problem with ranged weapons. Or reach. Other party members do that. Archer battlemaster and a wild hear barbarian with pike +...

What about any pre 2024 subclasses?
