Oh. I thought cleric kit was official. Ah, well. Learn something new. That said, I think it would have been fine as a Rogue kit. but tHats just me. Because its impossible to balance. In 4e everyonehad a basic attack. In 5e? A warlock basic attack is multiple eldritch blasts. Rogue has...

Hrm... that could work. HD is a criminally underutilized resource that could be tapped into. Would even work with the Rogue, who is oddly the only martial without a stamina resource. Outside soul knife anyways.

Ish? Like, it wasn't mind blistering terrible, but it was an attempt to be a striker class (ie high dps single target) that didn't have a striker feature - it specialized in melee based AoEs, which kind of had niche applicability. The mechanics ended up pushing you in a different direction...

No, the other way. It ends up as a different vibe from what people would expect from "Sacrifice HP" as a mechanic. If anything, it ends up feeling MORE like just a spell thing, because you're injuring yourself to use a technique that pushes you past your normal bounds, but.. then all the...

Sucked. Past tense. 1dnd monk is awesome. And, to be fair, past monks in previous editions have all just been piles of abilities with no real thought put into how the games work. "Proper translation" implies that there's some uber-monk archetype out there, and there just isn't outside of...

When people suggest risking your life by sacrificing HP, its usually because there is the assumption that the sacrifice involves risking the battle turning against you. That's not what actually happens. This is just making the ability cost more... superiority dice, or whatever is used. A...

Honestly? The main reason I'd be against this is because its effectively taking control of an NPC. Which is the domain of the DM, mind-control abilities, or an attempt to codify Titles into a class. I know you're trying to suggest they're willing signing up, and showing up under their own...

A people don't like list? No, no, its a to-do checklist! Joking aside... That's not a real drawback, considering the guy creating the HP loss is also the guy burning resources to keep you from dying from the HP loss. It basically translates to "spend more resource to power this one ability."...

People don't use Frenzy because they HATED exhaustion. The most popular reason I heard is that they really disliked an ability that killed you as you used it. Nevermind that it was effectively the same thing as saying "you can do this once per day." Virtually everyone I talked to about...

Pardon the interruption, but I'd like to point out something. We do have SOME rules - Sidekicks, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything p142.

They're using totally-renamed spell slots. They're being picked from a list that sounds suspiciously like a spell list. They're functioning like the warlock's spells do. When someone says that they want to make a non-caster using the spell slot system, why shouldn't be people be curious about...

The world of difference being that its fine to mock anyone who thinks it is possible to make a warlord subclass for Fighter and say its impossible. When the convo was about the Fighter subclass in the first place. Talk about twisting words. You've said they're not. But its unclear how...

I only used the word towards one person. And I just had a conversation with them about my own attempt at doing a warlord subclass, where I was flatly told impossible and was going to be either not worth playing or "OP." So, yes, I do see "your side" telling me to shut up and "accept the...

I'm suggesting something similar to banneret, but I don't personally like it as a good starting point. No offense to your idea. Just not a fan of their implementation.

I thought the entire point of the warlord was so that its not magic. And... you've just given them spells but calling them strategies? How are they different? It seems that they're going to scale up like spells? I mean, that's the whole point of the warlock chasis is that their spells...

Stupid tablet erased everything. One minute. The problem I have is this. Its objecting to gatekeepy by being even more gatekeepy. "My way is the only way to Warlock" is bad for all sides. Can we agree to that? I admitted it was selfish - you're not saying anything I didn't admit at the top...

And responses like this are why people object. No, they are Warlord equivalents. You might not like the mechanics. You can say that you don't like the mechanics and want a newer version that appeals to you. That's valid. Being all gatekeepy and denying that its a warlord for the people who...

Just an aside but... not all of the Fighter's class power is hardwired into high damage attack. They have Extra Attack, okay, and one Fighting Style; But the rest? Action Surge does not automatically equate Attack Action. Same with second wind. Indomitable is not about damage, its about...

I was under the impression that minigiant wants zero extra attacks. Plus, I was being kinda silly. The truth is that I've ... well, I had my own subclasses for fighter that included a warlord that I liked. Now, however, I'm kinda just waiting for 1d&D to be published, because I have a few...

The warlord was designed to attack to, you know. There's a reason its a STR-based class by default. Even if you're using a bow, its a STR based class. The lazy-lord was actually an accident. An exploit. The archetypes were based around using melee (or a bow) and using them alongside other...
