[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9163072, member: 7030563"] All martials can do most of these already: [LIST] [*]Action movie actions [LIST] [*]Arm/leg/wrist lock takedowns - already doable through grapple and shove [*]Explosion dodge- Dodge is already doable, not sure what explosion means [*]Instant reload [I][I]- [/I][/I]already doable on everything except crossbows, Blowguns and Firearms. Available on Crossbows and firearms through feats and subclasses martials have access to. This is an easy houserule, just eliminate the loading property and this is complete. [*]Missile dodge - already doable [*]Neck snaps - already doable through unarmed strike [*][I][I]Perfect dodge - [/I][/I]again dodge is already doable, not sure what perfect means. [*]Pistol whip takeouts - already doable [*]Rapid Fire - already provided to martials through extra attack [*]Sniping - Available through a feat [/LIST] [*]Battlefield Communication [LIST] [*][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Demoralize - Ok the first example that is not explicitly available in the rules, although I would argue this is still doable depending on exactly what you are talking about[/COLOR] [*]Feint - Already available to fighters through fighting style or subclass, available to others (including fighters) through a feat. [*]Rally - Already available to fighters through fighting style or subclass, available to other (including fighters) through a feat [*][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Point out - Not sure what this means[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Risk/Wager - Not sure what this means[/COLOR] [*]Trick - Already doable [/LIST] [/LIST] Almost all these things under actions and battlefield communications are already doable in 5E with RAW. Out of the whole list above I have 3 you can't do on a current martial in 5E and even on those I am not sure what exactly you mean and could probably come up with rules that cover it if I did.
