Since we are on the topic. Does this mean there are "dead" levels for swapping out CMs? My read is "Yes" but that makes me sad.

The problem was sitting behind my keyboard :). We covered that a few posts up.

Thank you. I was trying to find a simpler way of explaining this without doing it on a level by level basis. Your explanation is clear :)

I was in the process of responding to your original post but had to step away. But, yes I now understand that you were trying to be clear on degrees specifically which I missed because I was trying to solve the "whole problem". Degrees are not additive (just read from the read from a table with...

Thank you so much for answering in this format. It really helps clear things up because it reduces the chances of me accidently misinterpreting someone else's interpretation of the rules. I agree that they stack but how they stack is where I am stuck. The MC rules indicate that you use the...

I think there is a confusion between Combat Maneuvers and Combat Maneuver Degree. This points to the Degree (1st - 5th) which is, based on my reading, separate from [Combat] Maneuvers Known. Only the latter is comparable to Spells known. Degrees are comparable to Spell level. Back to my...

Are you saying that: Fighter's Maneuvers Known column does not represent the maximum CMs possible? Features that allow classes to gain additional CMs are added together with those listed in the Fighter's Maneuvers Known column? Just to be clear: Fighter 6 nets you 7 Maneuver's Known. 2nd...

The multiclassing rules for Combat Maneuvers (CM) appear straight forward but I just want to make sure. I will use a multiclass Berserker2/Fighter4 for illustration only. At level Berserker2 we have: Combat Maneuvers = 2 Combat traditions = 1st degree Once we add Fighter4 we a considered a...

I like the icons/symbols for damage types - simple and elegant.

Agreed. Having played in Foundry/Forge games I think having a subcategory of actions is really helpful. For instance, when you clicked on an Actions tab it listed everything that requires your action. You can additionally select/de-select a subcategory to list/de-list those types ie., Bonus...

All good points. I didn't select a 1st level slot to further a point but instead to demonstrate my understanding of the rule.

I read this features as reducing the damage before resistance is calculated : So I use a level 1 spell slot and gain 1 damage reduction. I get hit with 12 fire damage. I have resistance to fire, yay! I then take 12-1=11 and then halve that = 5.5 rounded up to 6 damage. What am I missing here? I...

Both versions of Two Weapon Fighting seem similar to me in that by 5th level both systems would allow 4 attacks for dual wielders. 5.5e requires the Dual Wielder feat, Two Weapon Fighting Style, the Light Weapon Property and Nick to make this work. Essentially scimitar+Dual Wielder feat+Two...

I think the main attraction of Steel Protector is the resistance to BPS. That is a big deal. Heralds get at most 3 2nd level spells slots and if used for Metal Skin that would be competing with Berserker Rage since both are long rest features if used this way. To me, this means it would be...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the input and feedback. I agree that martials should be chasing Extra Attack in terms of "adding value". However, I think if players want to be "creative" with their builds then they should and chasing a synergy chain can be just as fun as getting Extra...

Thank you. So, other than finding an external fix or a healthy offering of pizza to the overlord, would you agree that Steel Protector is unusable when a character can get it (8th level) and is an oversight?
