[QUOTE="mellored, post: 6709933, member: 6801209"] I agree elemental monks could use something. But i'm not familiar enough with them to have a good idea of what would be balanced. But i'll add your suggestion. I don't see the need. 2 is a fairly big level all classes. Reckless attack, cunning action, ki, metamagic, invocations, arcane tradition. So having fighting style + spells fits in nicely. I would prefer a full action beast, but i'm trying to keep the changes as minimal as possible. Adding a spell is easier. Part of the fun is the risk IMO. Also, you can fireball the enemy just as easily. Warlock of the Blade: Your solution is halfway to my solution.[/quote]I think it's enough just to reduce MAD. My other thought was medium armor+shield. They arn't that far behind. Small characters make up for it by having other powerful features. Also, not every race needs to be good at every class. Lucky, and advantage on saves are more then enough to offset the smaller damage die. It's also ok if gnomes don't make great barbarians. That changes things. i.e. 10d6 rogues crits less vs 1d6+8 TWF barbarian crit. It doesn't unbalance anything too far, and if you think stronger crits are fun, go ahead. But, the game is balanced around the current crit rate. Hmm... It's on the powerful side, yes, but it's ok to reward system mastery a little bit. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
