[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8407313, member: 7032025"] Only you are doing it using purely technical means rather than finding the story and the fiction around it. The only thing I'm saying that the game provides everything you need to have the story define the rules rather than the other way around. But in this case, you can do it exactly within the scope of the 5e rules, so I'm just happy. While I agree that hit points can represent many things, in that case no explanation is provided and it does not match anything in fiction, which makes it look really technical. I'm sorry, I just can't make any sense out of this sentence. The EK is indeed a hybrid class, and why not, some people like them, while at the same time wanting them to be as strong as the two parts of the hybrid. As for the BM, I think it's fine technically, but it's really focussed only on its own swordplay, not really a battlefield commander. [/QUOTE]
