[QUOTE="Avenger_jr, post: 7690238, member: 6672343"] One thing to note about tumble, compared to cunning action, is that rogues have alot less competition for their bonus action than bards do. Sneak attack falls on an attack action, so a rogue would benefit from part of.their cunning action bonus action and be able to apply sneak attack as well. A bard, however, has uses for their bonus action in the form of the bardic inspiration. The core two colleges gain additional spells or additional proficiencies, as well as alternate or additional uses for bardic inspiration - their bonus action mechanic. Due to this, I feel that the College of Satire's tumbling fool bonus action is a very good feature for the bard to have as it provides good competition for their bonus action use, especially compared to the other bardic colleges. While it IS strictly more powerful than Cunning Action, it is both belonging to a class besides rogue, behind a class archetype, and three levels in. They do not get to use maneuvers, but.the Battlemaster does. Besides the +dice to skill checks, most uses of superiority dice that a scout or cavalier gets is similar to and can potentially be replaced by an existing maneuver. Thus the decision is the following: do I become a cavalier and get a few mount-specific uses of superiority dice, or do I become a battlemaster and get proper maneuvers thay can replicate some-if-not-all of the Cavaliers superiority dice options.
