[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 6890301, member: 57494"] You're welcome. That's what I'm good at. I figure if things are within reasonably close bounds, and that cursory looks at them on the surface seem fair (like would I take A over B always, or does it seem like a choice), then I'm open to calling something balanced. Especially in a system like 5E, which isn't so tightly balanced (I loved 4E, but it was too tightly balanced for me to feel free to make too much of my own content), and has fairly forgiving death rules, you really just want to make sure things feel balanced. My only worry is that it's going to "look" really strong compared to the fighter and paladin. The fighter has action surge and the paladin has smite, but those are "use activated" and are a little hidden. I can tell you their damage is going to certainly trounce the fighter and paladin. I'd consider giving them a d8 HD maybe. [/QUOTE]
