I think things would be much more interesting if most feats gave +1 to an ability score + some other effect and when you get an ASI your choice is between +1 to two scores and a feat. This would ensure that players would eventually get a 20 in their primary attribute, but also encourage picking...

FYI: Large sized doesn't actually affect weapon damage.

http://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/55538/does-great-weapon-fighting-apply-to-superiority-die-rolls See there, the damage difference isn't significant enough to make a real difference. In fact, the difference basically doesn't matter at all of the battlemaster is primarily using commanders...

So are you implying that divine smite doesn't get double damage on a crit? Because the rules for critical hits say roll the damage dice of the attack twice. And Jeremy Crawford clarified that the rules do in fact say you double the dice for them. Great weapon style uses the same wording as...

Interestingly enough, the champion is just fine defensively. Well...at least from level 10+. At level 10 they can have both a +1 AC fighting style and a damage increasing fighting style. At level 18 they get a fairly significant amount of regeneration. I honestly don't actually feel that the...

Their intent may be for it to only apply to weapon damage dice, but that certainly is not RAW. Raw says the attack's damage, which includes more than just the weapon damage dice. It uses the exact same wording as critical hits. Both critical hits and great weapon fighting style use the wording...

Detailed analysis of Volos guide to monsters and the MM plotting AC vs CR. the style doesn't specify weapon damage dice. Therefor they apply to all damage dice for the attack. This includes things like superiority dice or Paladins divine smite. For similar wording just look at the rules for...

A number of problems here. 1. You need to rest for a variety of level ranges. I suggest the tier breakdowns of 5, 11, and 17. 2. AC is way off. You need to test a range of the most common AC values at a particular level. AC should be 13-15 at level 5 testing 16-18 for level 11 testing, and...

Totally agreed. My ideal 5e would not have tied feats and ASIs together at all. Perhaps if Ability scores increased by +1 to an ability score of choice every 4 character levels and current ASIs were used only for feats. Or maybe if all feats had a +1 to one ability score + some other effect...

I think 5e would have been much better if feats did not numerically enhance a characters combat potential. At least not directly. No -5/+10 feats. No feats that give you a garuanteed bonus action attack. Instead have feats that change how you actually play. The Blade Dancer feat might give you...

My proposal was that you should be allowed to stand from prone while grappled. Because you can't stand from prone when your speed is 0, a large creature can be pinned down, entirely immobilized, and unable to escape by a single hand from a medium sized creature. It is a silly interaction that...

Players in groups I'm in try improvised actions all the time. Those actions are usually covered by acrobatics and athletics. As such remarkable athlete would rarely apply. The Dex based fighter who want to hide in combat have training in stealth. They usually have 2 levels rogue MC as well so...

If there was a feat that gave you the Remarkable Athlete feature, do you think it would be a good feat? If champions had the choice between learning the guidance cantrip or gaining the remarkable athlete feat, which feature do you think would be better overall? The passive nature of Remarkable...

Nope, the point is the feature gives you very little benefit if a cantrip can provide all the same benefits and then a whole lot more. Anyone can take magic initiate feat to get guidance, another cantrip, and a first level spell. Remarkable athlete is therefor less than 1/3 as good as a feat...

Things I wish were different about 5e due to poor design, poor balance, or confusing rules interactions. 1. Creatures can stand from prone, even if both grappled and shoved. 2. Quicken Spell metamagic should not allow you to cast two cantrips in a single turn. 3. Two weapon fighting should...

It sounds like the best and most balanced solution for What deadalus wants is something like this: Take the battlemaster and remove CS dice. Instead the battlemaster can use 1 maneuver per round. Maneuvers are usable at-will as long as they follow the 1 per round limit. Any maneuver that...

You can have class features that give advantage to certain saves like danger sense, rage, or Spell resistance. You can have proficiency in certain saves. You can have class features that affect certain saves such as the paladin's aura. You can have magic items that affect saves. You can have...

I like the basic setup of kits having an at-will capability, a bonus Action ability, and a reaction ability but I feel that some additional balance and polish is needed. Also, have you looked at the 4e knight or skater for inspiration at all. They utilized at will stances that affected how they...

You do realize 6 is more than 3 though, don't you? 5e has 6 saves. Each save is based on an ability check, but can be very different from one. Sometimes you have abilities that modify only Ability checks. Sometimes you have ones that modify only saving throws. Sometimes you have ones that modify...

Class flavor is mutable. I've seen warlocks with no patrons at all. I've seen warlocks who make contracts with nature spirits. I've seen warlocks whose magic came through their bloodline. I've even seen a warlock whose magic was the result of demon being I prisoner in his body. So the whole...
