That was 1300's. Swashbuckler came from later 1500's, when buckler was a proper shield. Still small and used to punch though, but no longer part of a belt. Specifically It was someone who made a lot of noise by hitting (swash) their sword and shield together, for Intimidation and...

Just going to point out that Buckler is litterally in their name. Because the original ones used Bucklers. They removed them for the movies because it was harder to see the actors face (part of shields making it harder to stab their face).

Sword and buckler, with bonus action Charisma saving throws that can do various things, like taunt, fear, daring, boosting allies. Also, you can't use the same one two turns in a row. I.e Swashbuckler's Savy When you hit a creature with a melee attack from a finess weapon, you can use a bonus...

How would you built FF7 characters in D&D? Is Cloud a fighter? Barrett a Warlock with Eldritch Blast? Red as a moon druid, or beast barbarian?

So the Mark only works on 1 creature per short rest? But scales better?

How would that be any different from any other class?

Sure. It can be done as a feature. Level 5 Mark Mastery When you cast Hunter's Mark, you can expend one additional spell slot to modify the spell. This effect last as long as the triggering Hunter's Mark. Level 9 You can use Mark Mastery twice, spending a spell slot for each effect. Each...

I double checked my book, and it doesn't say anything about melee. So looks like that's a DnD beyond issue.

Range is Self. Doesn't say anything about melee. https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2619204-true-strike

True strike works with ranged attacks. Grab a light crossbow and you got 1d8+Int at 80', with 2 damage types to pick from including radiant which is probably the best. It's the best pure damage cantrip. Also note you can't swap weapons easily without the Attack action. IMO, just don't deal...

It keeps the base class as close to unchanged as possible. 0% change. Just new spells. Also mix and match marks gives ranger a unique thing. Which you can still ignore and cast conjure barrage if you want.

They did that with the UA subclass, but it won't help the current subclasses.

So you can mix and match. Hunter'sMark, 3rd level +shadow Mark, 2nds level +fey Mark, 1st level Use 3 slots into a potent, long lasting mark.

Effectively, yes. "Modifiers to damage are applied in the following order: adjustments such as bonuses, penalties, or multipliers are applied first; Resistance is applied second; and Vulnerability is applied third." "Some creatures and objects have Immunity to certain damage types and...

Also. Seems like it might be ok to allow a few metamagic spells to stack. Maybe a max of 1 per spell level, or part of upcasting each one. Build your own Hunter's Mark. I e Base Hunter's Mark (+1d6) +slowing Mark +pact tactics Mark Spend 3 spell slots, get a powerful Mark. And try not to...

"Metamagic spells" is a good term. And yea, it could work for other classes too. Though you'd want to be careful not to allow too much nova. Shape spell. Casting time: no action, you cast an area spell of level 1 or lower. You can change the shape to a cone or a radius. At Higher Level...

Better. Not perfect, spirit guardians is still a bit pushed, but better.

Not sure that wording quite works with "Taking damage can’t break your Concentration on Hunter’s Mark." Or "The damage die of your Hunter's Mark is a d10 rather than a d6." Maybe something like... Casting Time: no action, when you cast Hunter's Mark. Duration: same as the triggering Hunter's...

If they are rider spells, then you don't need to adjust the class at all. Or even Hunter's Mark. X Mark Casting Time: no action, when you cast Hunter's Mark. Duration: the same as the triggering Hunter's Mark. When you hit the target of your Hunter's Mark, you also do X.

1e rangers where a fighter subclass, with spells and bonus damage to some specific creatures. Which I guess is Aragon. A fighter with a few spells and a plot sword.
