[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6772555, member: 19265"] I really like the idea of this archetype. I especially like the specialised combos that depend upon weapon used, but this could be a nightmare recording on your PC Sheet. The archetype does seem too powerful; especially the features that override the fighter class or normal 5E standards. I am not sure I would allow double proficiency bonus to attack rolls and allowing you to use DEX or STR no matter the weapon seems odd to me. DEX with a maul? This seems to be very advantageous to a fighter that focuses on either DEX or STR. In fact, why bother with STR at all? Finesse is a pretty exclusive quality - not even monk unarmed attacks have it for a reason. Re the combo: you might want to reword the parameters to read "weapon attacks". ie if I miss with a cantrip is it off? If I hit with a cantrip, that is okay, b/c it is an 'attack'. I am sure you mean 'weapon attack', but you want to make that explicit. I like the idea. Some things are just rubbing me the wrong way, but I really like your thinking for this guy. It really does focus on the weapon used :) (BTW - have you seen the EN5ider article that outlines weapon qualities? This could save some time. ie you could just apply some of these qualities as part of the combo). [/QUOTE]
