    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter Survey Response

    See i knew something was nagging me about the sub classes I liked some things but others I was like gerr you just hit the nail on the head. Maybe that is why i was in the middle I like some of the features but was a little underwhelmed about other and the rest should be using the Maneuver and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter Survey Response

    The probable is I can basically make a Samurai or a knight now with feats and backgrounds. I do like the the Mark (I never played 4e so leave me out of that fight) and I noted they over relied on Rapid Strike using it three times. I did like Unbreakable Will as while. I am a little torn I like...

    Then what is the point of taking the sub class pummel is useless you are better off taking the martial arts attack. In fact that is such a crappy argument because I can already just multi classing with 3 fighter or ranger get duelist +2 and more giving me better flexibility still a weapon master...

    D&D 5E (2014) UA Samurai proposal: swap Fighting Spirit and Strength Before Death

    Nailed it they even had heavy armor made from different material but much like plate mail heavy. The Katana' s had different length depending on the ryu and sometimes by the fight they had ones longer with longer handles made for use from the horse. Samurai where just as good at archery as they...

    UA Monks Introduces the Kensai and Tranquility Traditions

    The issue is pummel blows because it does not scale and can only be used once on the same target, the +2ac is worthless because it reduces flurry of blows to garbage with out tavern brawler you be better off using that bonus action and ki point for patient defense or step of the wind then to use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Your Biggest Gaming Pet Peeve

    No gate on the description from anything from me and I do not need dice for that; while you just have to lose trust because if the room does have something and you roll you will see it plain and day. I hate having to role a freaking dice every time you enter a room or a hall just time consuming...

    UA Monks Introduces the Kensai and Tranquility Traditions

    That is just a waste of time might as while multi class 3 levels fighter or ranger and go way of the hand or long death and still use the short sword + all your martial arts. Then for two attacks you get duelist +2 plus 4 superiority dice, second wind and action surge all on short rest or +2...

    Yes but Barbarians have natural ac waste of time on the 13. Now if I was going to Multi-classing Kensai I take a 3 whopping levels. The rest would be fighter more asi then I focus on Dex and Wisdom and con 3rd. Pretty darn simple variant Human GWM fighter dex build long term build 17 fighter 3...

    UA Monks Introduces the Kensai and Tranquility Traditions

    Nothing I have read in the article that says you can not use your bonus action for flurry of blows instead of pummel. So two sword attacks + flurry of blows gets you extra damage and +2ac

    UA Monks Introduces the Kensai and Tranquility Traditions

    Most monks do 2x 1d8 + 1d6 at 5th level spear or qtr staff 2h attack and then unarmed strike gives you 24.5 also note you only get 27 if you hit two targets pummel only applies to the first attack to the same target so if it the same target they both do 24.5 at 8th level assuming max dex it...

    UA Monks Introduces the Kensai and Tranquility Traditions

    Ok now that I had time to read more details from earlier I like the concept of the Kensei but the damage is under whelming the only nice part is I can make the weapons magical attacks at 6th outside that and that if you go 2H great sword etc you can do the most damage when using your bonus...
