Message: <blockquote data-quote="thethain" data-source="post: 7113731" data-attributes="member: 6874561">Strike 1 - Doesn't follow standard archetype features.Besides simply making it easier on everyone involved, dismissing the standards created with archetypes is a giant red flag signaling "I am not going to be able to list all my fancy abilities in the restraints of an archetype". Which is a good hint that it will not be balanced.Strike 2 - Non-standard characters in abilities.If no combination of the 26 standard english letter can create the phonetic sound you are hoping for, only about 1/100 players will be able to. Abilities can be given an eastern flavor in playing without making arbitrarily uncommon words as their descriptions. (Also embued isn't a thing.)Strike 3 - Very obviously broken mechanicsWait.. so if I choose a ranged weapon.. at level 2 with a 16 dex score I will have +9 to hit? At level 10 with 18 dex I will have +14 to hit? So I have a better chance to hit with the -5 penalty from sharpshooter than a regular fighter does making a standard attack with a sword?No. That not enough? At level 15 you get a repeating +3 to hit, bringing the attack bonus up to.. 5 (prof) +5 (double Prof) +5 (Dex) +2 (archery) +2 (living Weapon) + 3 (zero)= +17 to hit. So you could hit an Ancient Red Dragon on a roll of 5, against normal enemies you will basically only miss on 1s.Wait, I double my proficiency bonus for initiative? But it doesn't even apply normally.. shouldn't that have maybe ramped up with just 1x to start with?Also you just made the 2 fighter dip even more absurd. Oh for 2 levels I get Action Surge, Second Wind, a fighting style AND 2x prof on my attacks AND my initiative (?)! Hello practically mandatory dip for assassins!The class is so designed to exploit the GWM/Sharpshooter Feat that you had to make a special mention of them in the class, as well as include them automatically.I guess I want to know if YOU thought this was equivalent to say a Battlemaster fighter? Being limited to 1 weapon doesn't really matter if you are automatically guaranteed to have access to an increasingly powerful magical version of the weapon.</blockquote>
