Message: <blockquote data-quote="CreamCloud0" data-source="post: 9518320" data-attributes="member: 7034710">i think i'd let them sneak attack on all non-heavy weapons, which for martial weapons gives them battleaxe, flail, longsword, morningstar, rapier, scimitar, shortsword, trident, warhammer, war pick, whip, blowgun, hand crossbow, musket and pistol, i'd move the cunning action attack to 9th and replace the fighting style with the ability to split up spending their sneak attack cunning strikes effects between their multiple attacks, this means they have their extra attack earlier but it's eating into their action economy until 13th.defensively i'd bump their armour proficiencies all the way to heavy so that can actually synergise with their STR investments for non-finesse weapons, their stealth disadvantage on heavy gets nullified and this means they can't get advantage, i'd also throw CON saving throw proficiency in there somewhere too so they've got nearly all saving throws.edit: looking at mirrorrorrim's comments i don't know if this enough incentives to make the thug with a STR build?edit 2: if you let them use cunning strikes abilities on attacks even if they can't sneak attack on them this incentivises the use of the STR heavy weapons while repurposing their sneak attack rather than loosing out on it. (also offer to use STR instead of DEX for cunning strikes DCs)</blockquote>
