D&D 5E Do Fighter Battlemaster Superiority dice feel magical?

Because it is basically just a bomb.

Contrast it with Flaming Sphere, where you create ball of fire, and then mentally control it to move around the room. That spell actually feels magical.

Okay, so creating a Bomb from nothing that you then accurately fling a pretty good distance away from you doesn't feel magical?

It's a bomb made out of bat guano and sulphur. AKA gunpowder.

K. But whether a mechanic is dissociative doesn't depend on whether you find that they create a disconnect for you. Unless we want to redefine dissociative to "any mechanic that cbwjm finds a disconnect with".

I also want to encourage you on that X attacks for some effect mechanic because it sounds pretty cool.

What I like about the general concept is the boost it can give fighters for things to do. Some might cost 1 or 2 attacks so almost anyone can do them it but if it takes 3 attacks then it will be firmly in the realm of the the 11+ fighter only.

No, but once I did let loose a wheelbarrow down the hill when the handles stayed in my hands and the rest went downhill, frakk "made in China"

The only BM maneuver that feels magical to me is Pushing Attack. Especially with a ranged weapon.
