Even when they aren't solving the problem with spells, casters are better with skill checks simply because there are more mental skills than physical ones. A caster can have all four base skills linked to their primary attribute if they so wished. A Fighter can't, even if they are a Dex fighter.Furthermore, there are very few physical ability checks that can't be eased, expedited, or simply effectively bypassed with magic. Knowledge, perception, social checks are a lot harder to solve with a spell than shifting something, breaking something, or getting somewhere else hard or unseen.As long as multiclassing is off the table, I found that giving it the full increased crit range at 3rd level worked fine, and helped to bring it up to Battlemaster level in damage.And yes, Remarkable Athlete is bad. Simply granting an extra half proficiency bonus on any non-expertise ability check (including mental ones) can help though.</blockquote>
