The problem with templates, is that building your own statblock is tedious, let alone 6 or 7 statblocks. With pre-generated, unique statblocks, you just pull it up, use your own mental scores and HP, and you're ready to go.

I agree, except for 2024 monster design they seem to be getting rid of legendary actions in favor of additional reactions. That's probably really why they redesigned it.

For the first and likely last time, I was right about something.

Okay, what do you guys think of this: Marching Song: Your martial discipline and rousing marching songs allow you and your comrades in arms to walk great distances with ease. You and your party gain the benefits of a short rest even when you are walking or marching for the duration. Carousing...

I do feel maneuvers fill this niche. Using the cover rules is a neat idea.

For me, gladiator is the CHA fighter, Brawler raw Strength, and Tactician the INT fighter (with EK being magic). In your opinion and the opinion of others here, which of these should be replaced with "Warrior"?

Barbs and Monks would need a face-lift for sure, compared to this Fighter. This was made more in mind to balance against casters. You're the second person to say it, so maybe letting the fighter add battle dice to ability checks is not enough. I shall think how to increase their utility without...

That's valid. To me, the Tactician is the vanilla one. Maybe it could have a different name, like "Warrior"

Yes! I thought those two should be in the base class, and the subclasses opened up for more flavorful archetypes. Some of the champion's features were recycled into Gladiator, and some of the Battle Master into Tactician.

I made another thread about it, but I whipped up a Revised version of the UA 7 Fighter. It's got some pretty juicy Achilles/Hercules stuff at the end.

The primary complaint I see for martials and casters is the power disparity. "I hit four times" versus "I cast wish," that kind of thing. This Fighter can add battle dice to ability checks at level 2, an ability which applies out of combat as well. I suppose I could add more utility. I made my...

Classic Gladiator stuff?

Seeing all the talk about bringing Fighters up to snuff with casters got me thinkin'. So I whipped up a Revised Fighter, using mostly elements we already have from UA 7, and a few high-level abilities I invented. I haven't done the math, but I think it puts it up to snuff with casters. (Meaning...

I collect them, and I agree

Most people seem to be disappointed by backgrounds, but it appears to me that backgrounds have been getting more oomph in their design, to the point where it comes with almost as many goodies as species choice.

I feel this thread has gone a bit off the rails

It's a shame you can't get on board with it. But I guess that tracks.
