[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6806507, member: 996"] To that purpose.. The Champion is already a high-DPR character. You can goose that a little if you want to help him pull ahead of the Battlemaster or Paladin or whatever in white-room analysis. It won't make a huge difference. DPR in 5e is already more than sufficient, in general. So maybe look at the few other things the Champion gets. Remarkable Athlete has already been mentioned: just letting it stack with Proficiency would make it a bit more impressive and relevant, and it's a very easy tweak. Second Wind is a fighter, not a sub-class feature, but a SCAG sub-class sets the precedent of changing/adding to it. You could improve the Champion's Second Wind or give him an extra use of it. ASIs: The fighter gets more ASI's than other classes to make up for getting so much less of so much else, the Champion, getting even less than other fighters could maybe get another ASI, IIRC, 10th level was suggested up-thread. Building on that you could give the Champion access to selected feats in a campaign that didn't otherwise allow feats. Indomitable evokes the old-school fighter's excellent high-level saves, you could build on that by giving the Champion proficiency in a third saving throw, or even all saves. [/QUOTE]
