Its a good idea. I'm sure it would get some traffic.

I have just uploaded 5E Fighter Variant - Light Fighter (experiment) to the downloads area. On a variety of threads here, there have been a number of debates over Light Fighters, their neglect or half-baked attempts to "fix" the neglect in older editions as well as to whether or not the current...

Kalshane 1) Keep the STR bonus. The feat is a tad weak without it IMHO. 2) I think versatile might be too much? That adds: Quarterstaff (d8), Spear (d8), Battleaxe (d10), Longsword (d10), Trident (d8) and Warhammer (d10) to the allowed Sneak Attack weapons.

Does it work better as a feat (that some tables are banning) or would it work better as an Archetype?

I've been working on Light Fighter (Fighter Variant Class) and toying with how sustainable it would be and what subclasses work with it. Currently I think its a valid idea for those who: a) want a light or no armored fighter that can still fulfill the fighter roll without having to be a plate...

As an option I was also thinking of simply using the rogue's Cunning Action, but making swapping Dodge for Hide. Then again over in THIS THREAD there has been a lot of bickering over the whole concept. I'm torn over making this a fighter archetype or making a full-on Variant Fighter (Light...

This is basically what I'd been getting at earlier with making Light Fighter an ALT-Fighter, as well as my comments on the need for a Spell-Less Ranger. I'd really like to finesse the core archetypes, not replace them. Personally I don't care if it overlaps a normal fighter a little because if...

Its not a subclass but 2 feats were tossed out in Morrus's feat thread that might work for you in a pinch. Daggermaster Thrown Weapon Master I do agree though that a daggermaster subclass might work well. Might add that to the to-do list. What do you think the concept needs that can't...

Its not so much labels as it is theme of the abilities. While rogue fits for some of the theme there is a lot of it that doesn't. For instance the skill monkey aspect and expertise may fit the Swashbuckler but not so much a duelist or bladesinger. Honestly the more I think about this the more I...

The problem with this is that many people don't see the Rogue as the correct fit. They're looking for a Light Fighter, not a thief dressed up to look like a fighter. Things like skill monkey, thieve's cant, stealth, sneak attack, etc. just throw off the feel of the archetype of a Duelist or...

FYI, I have to again point out that this doesn't fly in a lot of games. 5E went very far out of its way to make magic items non-essential this time around because so many people got sick of the crutch. I think a lot of games are going to find magic items being a LOT more rare in their games (as...

To quickly summarize... Heavy Fighter and Light Fighter fill 2 different design spaces, though they can use the same core class. One of the core ideals of the fighter is having an AC. Heavy Fighters are in their element when they can be armored to the teeth. Great for dungeon adventures or...

FYI, this is exactly what I mean about being forced into MC to "sorta" make a concept work. In what way does being a Barbarian really apply to being a Duelist/Swashbuckler other than for the mechanics of cherry picking the class to get Unarmored Defense. If the ability is THAT intrinsic to the...

For the simple reason that I have seen many times over the years that Multiclassing gets banned far more often than when someone is presented with a well done "alternate" (class, subclass, etc.). Multiclassing for many seems to have a stigma of "cherry picking" and "power gaming" thus that the...

The problem is then you are playing a rogue with a small selection of "nature" oriented abilities, not a Spell-less Ranger. There are a lot of people who want everything about the Ranger, as it exists, minus spells. They should have that option especially for campaigns where Rangers simple...

I could see arguments for Uncanny Dodge or Evasion. Depends on whether you want to reduce damage from melee attacks or do you want their erratic 'dancing' around to help prevent AoE damage. Of the two I think Evasion is more the correct power level and fills a small niche in the subclass giving...

DERVISH v2 DERVISH DANCE Starting when you take this path at 3rd level, all of your class abilities that rely on STR (Rage, Reckless Attack, etc.) now rely on Dexterity instead of Strength. Additionally, you gain one fighting style as per the Fighter (p72 PHB) from: Defense, Dueling or...

The problem is how to manage this. Nothing is going to be elegant in a subclass that goes and removes an entire class feature from the subclasses' primary class features. A "spell-less" ranger really needs to be an ALT-Ranger Class Feature option that can be plugged into Ranger for those who...

Check out these Pinterest searches. How many of them do you see wearing armor, much less medium or heavy armor? This is pretty much why it needs to allow unarmored. * http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=fantasy%20duelist *...

I can respect this attitude. Unfortunately I just don't agree. I have no issue with expanded material. There are a lot of good concepts from over the many many years of the game that can't be mimiced with the existing PHB material. I also don't want to rely on having to force Multiclassing or...
