Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mort" data-source="post: 7305618" data-attributes="member: 762">I had a thread on a few weeks ago about - how the heck do you picture a one handed quarterstaff wielder?Only example anyone could give was Gandalf from Lord of the Rings where he waives his staff around while also using his sword - but even there it's more a distraction for the sword strike vs. the fighting style. Thematically, this is just weird.All that said - it's not really broken, it's actually mostly underpowered. Even in this instance, are you giving the great-sword fighter great weapon master (polearm master is a great feat so the great weapon master power discussion is lessened here)?That would look more like 8d6 (great weapon fighting: reroll 1 and 2 ( so average is avg is 8.66 vs 7) +20+40 = 94.64 (depending on AC etc.) +5 AC over 44 points of DPR starts looking like a pretty tough decision.[Edit] as shown down below, the DPR really does need to be vs a specific AC to account for the -5 fro GWM otherwise the DPR is too skewed in favor of GWM - so look below for more accurate numbers. To sum up. I have a problem thematically but not mechanically - so if a player asked, I'd probably provisionally allow it.</blockquote>
