You could. You'd be forgoing Extra Attack, though, and I think that'd be rough for your burst damage. Great points. Probably it's not optimal. It looks much worse than the sorcadin, and it's for sure against the general spirit of A5e.

We all know the Sorcadin got a bad rap in O5e. Sure, it had ridiculous burst and could absolutely dominate encounters, all while providing the party with the best support ability in the whole freaking game. A5e tried to kill the sorcadin, and for good reason. But the Sorcadin lives. The...

I’m not sure I agree that’s how it works with the abstract concepts going on here because your reaction replaces one of your attacks. For instance, you could cast a cantrips instead of attacking. But that’s totally reasonable and consistent with what I expect is RAI. I think the language...

Perfect answer, thanks. I had overlooked that. One remaining corollary: can marshals use Commanding Presence on themselves? I.e., does the marshal count as “a friendly creature within range” for the purpose of the ability?

Sorry, I’m horrible at using the forums on my phone. I totally think spell-points-for-exertion is a viable idea, I’d focus on balancing for levels 3–8 more than anything else. I think your best bet is probably to require a temp exertion pool at the start of a turn, with a little tax on the...

I’m struggling to understand how this works with maneuvers. The relevant text is: “In addition, when a creature uses your Commanding Presence to make an attack, it can simultaneously use one Sanguine Knot combat maneuver that you know.” How does this interact with maneuvers that let you take...
