Still trashes every other cantrip.

Compare to acid splash and EB: - EB: 1d10 * .55 = 3.025 (Int16 vs AC13) - EB+agonizing: 1d10+3 * .55 = 4.675 (Int16 vs AC13) - acid splash: 2d6 * .5 = 3.5 DPR (DC 13 vs Dex14) - magic missile (2): 2d4+2 = 7 DPR - magic missile (1): 1d4+1 = 3.5 DPR It's ridiculously powerful because it always...

If that was the case, half-elf would break class identity. So would warlock invocations. Now give someone expertise, and that'll break it.

And monk 5 gives extra attack and a second chance at SA. Mobile or swashbuckler simplifies the CA problem too.

Except pure barbarian rarely reaches Dex16. Str20, Con20 and GWM usually leaves nothing for Dex. You have to wait until level 19 to reach unarmored AC17, which half-plate AC17 offers at level 5 or so. The typical monk start with Dex16, Wis16 and Con14. That's unarmored AC16, just as good as...

Yes, but you can choose either later on. Whereas the second unarmored defense does not exist at all for you.

I feel Wis is more important than Con, making monk the better unarmored class. If you don't plan on raising above Wis16, draconic and mage armor works too. BTW, if you start barbarian, you'll never gain monk's unarmored defense. It's one or the other.

So the only point you have is that "restore hit point" is incidental and not the reason you cast vampiric touch. I was hoping for something with more meat.

Why? Heal, healing word, vampiric touch all use "regain hit points". Where's the difference?

Next time you sear some steak, put an ice cube in the frying pan. Compare to how long your hand could stay in there. Ice takes way more than 6 seconds to melt significantly. Misquoting wikipedia for all I care: - 333 J/g to melt - 418 J/g to heat - 2257 J/g to boil You'd have to vaporize or...

But disadvantage is failure. A Str10 Dex fighter will do better than a Str16 exhausted barbarian half the time. If gaining that exhaustion had any value outisde combat, at least it'd have some RP value. But as it stands, it's nothing but a poor DPR machine. Hence a trap.

Please don't go into frenzy, you'll be too tired for the rest of the argument. Being a bogey won't kill your character.

Barbarian: - any Str race ok - TWF ok until you get GWM feat - unarmored defense is sub par (Dex14 + Con20 = AC17 = Dex14 + half-plate) - berserker is sub par Fighter: - protection style is sub par, gwf style is weak - EK works fine with Int10 - Dex10 bow hits as well as Int16 save spells...

Fighter 2 if you go assassin. Action surge double the power of assassinate. If you are more on the good side, you might not want to ambush and kill though. But really, thief, mastermind or AT might be less boring.

Halfling 20 14 18 10 10 16 for medium armor, pick any subrace. Elk 5 / swashbuckler 3, lucky by default or inspiring leader if no one goes Cha. Not only are you the strongest, you are the fastest.

Breastplate is for chicken. Full plate better have some legs in it.

Yes, with Dex10 that's AC13. Even better!
