I always think the attachment to the supernatural with monk is such a strange thing since it's supposed to be all mystical but you can go all the way up to nine levels of monk (base class) and still be indistinguishable from an unarmed martial artist. If anything I'd say the name should be...

I don't have a real problem with the name "Adept" but it doesn't evoke any feeling in me (that is, hearing the name fighter tells me they fight, hearing the name berzerker makes me think they'll go berzerk, hearing the name wizard or sorcerer makes me think of casting spells). Since the Monk...

I'd think Commander for if it's a charisma class or Tactician if it's an Intelligence class. Banneret is also good but obviously it's like mastermind in that it's already the name of a subclass.

I want: 1. Meaningful decisions at each level. 2. More non-magical options (I went through by subclass and counted 17 options (out of 112 total) that I could consider nonamgical (and that's if you consider the zealot's radiant damage force-of-will and the base monk's ability to turn invisible as...

Fun Fact: The milestone XP variant in the DMG is not "Level Advancement Without XP: Story-Based Advancement," which is a separate section right below milestone XP. (I understand that milestone means just levelling up whenever in the vernacular, it's just that ACTUAL milestone XP is a ruleset...

I've always found this one funny (even not having played 4e) because you can't 'Cure Wounds' a severed arm back on either, only restore HP. In 5e to heal a severed arm you'd need to be at least level 14 before you can cast 'Regenerate'.

I can instantly tell what all of these are meant to play like just by reading the list (which I consider good design) except for: what is the difference between a Traditionalist Wizard and a Mage? Also nitpick but if you have a reason I'd like to hear why you made a firemage instead of a...

Looking good, just gotta wonder a few things: If you take Juggernaut, does it mean you're basically choosing to give up your rage feature? Furious critical looks fun, but it's an awful lot for something the player has no control over. Will fearsome reputation come with a table of random...

If you want it to come across as a stance I have a suggestion: " When you dodge while at maximum HP you may make a weapon attack as a bonus action." Dodging as a bonus action is a big buff, but if it requires max HP to bulwark that really lowers the times when you can use it. I'd see some folks...

First, gotta second (and third, and fourth, and fifth) that 4e should be a major source of inspiration. Second: Each monster should have at least 3 abilities and at most 6 abilities (maybe more that are purely utility). Name some abilities and give them levels like spells if they seem magical...

Not a suggestion but I do like the ones that abbreviate to A5e. "Apotheosis of the Fifth Era" type stuff.

That being said, at least in-play I tend to have a two-weapon player in all of my games and haven't seen a rogue who isn't two-weapon. Don't think it's underpowered or overpowered, but it has a niche that it seems to fill pretty well.

Smite makes TWF better because smite makes all melee paladins better. TWF paladin sounds like a pretty cool concept thinking about it. And the shortest work day in all the game. I'd say TWF is par right now. If you made it part of the attack action it would be too strong without first nerfing...

Yep. If you have the fighting style it's another standard attack. If you have the feat you get +2 damage and +1 AC. If you have neither it's still another damage die every turn. The bonus action seems like a fair balance to keep it from being OP.

I mean to say casting a levelled spell as a bonus action forbids casting one as an action. That would require over 3 turns

I think I'm missing something but cleric has four levelled spells cast.

+1 to hit for every 3 Fighter levels. You want something that comes online early so you can feel it but that makes it worth it to stay Fighter instead of dipping, right?

Heavy armor proficiency, haha.
