[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8351550, member: 71699"] This might be called more fairly a rewrite. My aim is to redress the meta in my campaign so that PCs and NPCs can get around resistances if they want to. This was partly inspired by thinking about how Soul Blade might foreseeably nudge the balance across classes and multiclasses (their psionic blades deal [I]psychic[/I]). I chose Elemental Adept as it does part of this albeit being somewhat underpowered and considerably narrower. [HEADING=3][COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Elemental Adept[/COLOR][/HEADING] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 20. Choose two damage types: when an attack or spell of yours would deal damage of one of those types, you can choose to have it deal damage of the other type instead.[/COLOR] Does this feel too strong? Broken? Annoying? Can it be improved? [EDIT So the version I will test in play is [HEADING=3]Elemental Adept [/HEADING] Your affinity with materials that form the planes, results in the following benefits— [LIST] [*]Increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 20. [*]Choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. Effects you control of the chosen type ignore resistance to damage. [/LIST] You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different damage type.] [/QUOTE]
