The earlier effectiveness and the jump/falling damage attack are what sold me (prone with movement, and still have actions/bonus actions? Heck yes). Plus no need to bump Cha is nice, and raging/sneaking fit the bugbear better than strategizing/barding. Though I still may pick up Fighter 3 later in my progression; seems like high-level Barb and Rogue stuff isn't quite as useful to a grappler once I get the basics down.One question on that barb/rogue build - since you need a finesse weapon if you want to get sneak attack bonus damage, have you had any luck with coming up with DM-acceptable finesse improvised weapons? I think iron spikes as improvised daggers should be an easy sell. I'm also hoping to use a roasting skewer (like you'd spit-roast a chicken, or small pig, or gnome on) as an improvised rapier, and/or a rope with a small spike or caltrop tied to the end as an improvised whip (or maybe even length of chain). But I realize those may be tougher to convince a DM on. I play AL, so I'm expecting DM variation.(For levels 4 and 5 though, while I have Tavern Brawler but no Sneak Attack to worry about, I'm going with a tree branch with various sharp pieces of iron driven through it as an improvised --and very bugbear-thematic-- maul.)</blockquote>
