D&D 5E It takes too long to say "Combat Superiority"

[Ellington]

This is a pretty small issue, but nitpicking is what we do here, right?

Anyways, does anyone else feel this way? Other class features like "sneak attack" and "rage" are quick and to the point, not the eight syllable monstrosity that "combat superiority" is (nine syllables, if you say combat superiority dice). I guess you could abbreviate it to "CS", but my group rarely abbreviates stuff as it makes things a bit too gamey.

Anyways, just sayin'. They should rename it to something shorter.

I agree, and I'll put out some proposals:

• Maneuver. (It sounds a little odd, on its own, but in context you'd be mostly talking about "maneuver dice.")
• Superiority. (Five syllables is better than eight...)
• Expertise. (Because they're not going to need this feat in D&DN, right? RIGHT?)

Must be a slow news day.

I was going to answer to this, but it would have taken too long to say so. I only speak in "Old Entish".

Even "Something Shorter" sounds too long.

In case of nothing to bitch about, I always find it helpful to find something to bitch about. That's my ENWorld motto.

I think I would enjoy saying "FIGHT DIE!"

I can also suggest:
- Combat Die
- Technique Die
- Battle Die
- Prepayrtu Die

 

[Obryn]

CS.

That should be enough.
