As a huge fan of Constructor style Artificer and Golem creation, here are a few spells for players who want the minions without grave robbing: Animate Dummy 3rd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 10 feet Components: V, S, M (a drop of blood, flint, and a pinch of bone dust)...

Regarding Two Weapon Fighting Issues perhaps another standard combat option in addition to Two Weapon Fighting might fit the bill: Optional Combat attack: Twin Strike - when using a light melee weapon in each hand you strike as a single melee attack. Combine the dice and add modifiers once...

Distilled to the essential point. 5e is not Pathfinder. People who want to play Pathfinder can play Pathfinder. And you don't need Mage Armor. Plenty of players have found a way to play the Wizard as written.

Isle of Dread is mostly jungle. Flying for a pteranodon should probably be limited to above the canopy or in open areas. Watery marshes, tall grass, and the mountains are open enough. While in jungle areas the flying character would be separated from the party. Even though it is outside it...

I don't have my DMG with me. Weren't there some Tumbling options in the DMG as optional rules? The Jester wouldn't even need to have Acrobatics proficiency which would be weird.

Just to take an opportunity to state the default Mount action list: A class ability to grant Help and Attack would be powered based on the Mount's attack or the rider's attack. A warhorse hits like a Greatsword. The best utility for the Advantaged attack is probably a Greatsword as well...

The Complete Book of BMs is filling rapidly. (Grab a plunger)

I think this might be a better fit for a Paladin Code involving Horses. Possibly keying off the Cavalier base abilities. The 'demand shelter' aspect was rolled into a background. Or could be. Spell Resistance could be covered by the extra feats the Fighter class gets (Resilient).

That's what they want you to think. Beware the dark!

Time to cast Remove Curse once a week and then Re-attune. Provided one isn't constantly making Spell saving throws.

I'm confused, the second bullet ability of both Subclasses is the exact wording of the Precision Attack maneuver (PHB p74). These are maneuvers without the 'Maneuver' label. They are just pre-selected. (Which I am clarifying for the point of evaluation and comparison not interchangeability.)

I agree with some exceptions. Short rest HD healing, and overnight healing by default. I'd modify how this applies for certain corporeal undead and constructs.

Tumble Rewrite: Adding Tumble to take half damage on a fall allows it to work on your turn and during the rest of the round.

Tumble seems a little good - maybe just pick one instead of getting all. The Fighter Alt Battle Master subclasses were interesting: The Cavalier trip I would rewrite like the PHB Trip Maneuver (unreliable if you need to declare on attack rather than damage). I like the alternate Parry Maneuver...

Another thought was a scaling mechanism for lower CRs in addition to larger. 3rd - base CR available 1/4 Medium 7th - base CR 1/2 11th - base CR 1 Then Modify Proficiency up or down depending on how it compares to the base CR of that level. For each CR bracket lower add 1, for each CR bracket...

I thought the pattern was supposed to be: 'Success plus' on a roll that exceeded the DC by a lot. 'Success' for normal successes 'Success but' on almost success (technically failures) 'Failures' 'Failures and' for those really bad failures. And I would ignore the '1' or '20' aspect because it...

I think right here you have somewhat painted the Ranger into a corner. The whole 'gets to go first' thing, even when surprised just seems like getting Advantage on Initiative would be simpler. Getting an 'extra special turn' seems so complicated. Using Perception and Stealth are the normal...

I like the addition of getting the formula. I would change the pricing but needing the formula is a nice gate on the magic mart economy.

Concentration, greatly reduced spell slots at the higher levels, and spell scaling with spell levels make a huge difference. I'd recommend starting at 3rd (with 0 XP) to get a sturdier starting character.

What your describing seems to be reflected by training in Perception and Stealth. In favored terrain, they get double prof for perception (Wisdom check) useful for spotting hidden foes and traps. Ranger's rock the Exploration pillar out of the gate (plus the extra skill) and not getting combat...
