[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8250126, member: 72555"] So banerett already improves second wind. Making that even bigger is what I usually do. Samurai's advantage is strong. Stronger than champion crit range when active (at cost); advantage gives as much of a crit boost, and an accuracy boost. In games with easy advantage, it is weaker. In games with more fights/day it is weaker. It doesn't match BM even in good situations at 3. Existence of non damage meanuevers only makes BM stronger, not weaker. Subclasses with mainly only damage shouldn't fall behind damage from subclass with choice of damage or alternatives. For cavalier, I would compare baselien BM to a Cav that gets its bonus attack every round. BM 4 16 str 1d10 polearm gwf with pam+gwf on a 15 ac foe. Uses precision and -5/+10. Over 3 rounds, 1 reaction, 3 bonus, 3 regular, for 4d10(22)+3d4(7.5)+91=120.5. Hits on 14 (35%), crits on a 20(5%). Before meanuver dice, 43.7 damage. If use die for missed by 1 to 6, that happens .3 per attack (2.1 total) for 68% of a hit each. Average hit is 17, 11.5 ish per die, for 24 damage. 0.35 crits at 9 damage per crit, for 3 ish damage. No ripsote. So total of 70ish damage for 2 and a half dice burnt. (out of 4, short rest refresh) Same cavalier, but gs, 18 str, gwm, and -5/+10 with advantage bonus attack. 6 taps. 8+ on normal for 11 (70% hit), 13+ on bonus for 23 (64% hit). 0.45 crits for +7 each. about 70 damage. Uses 3/4 daily punishment uses used. Same damage. Cavalier also imposed disadvantage on the attacks that ignored them. In ideal circumstances, Cav just bearely matches simple BM. I mean, a sentinal Cav that was ignored might exceed BM damage? -- As most subclasses fall behind BM, and I like BM, I like adding second wind riders to every other subclass. And maybe a lesser one for BM, like "if you have 0 dice left, you get one back" at, mid high levels. [/QUOTE]
