Fine, but what class do you use to hit it with?Why is there no option for level 1 Lightfoot Halfling Wizard decked in plate wielding a greatsword with Str 8, Dex 10, Con 8? When I need to hit stuff, that is what I use.
I think it was Malthus who first remarked that there is a certain inevitability to things. For example-
If you go to Disney World, you will go on the Small World ride. Because you kind of have to. And when you do, there is a 100% chance that the ride will get stuck.
Which will lead to this observation.
For the first minute or two, the song will continue to be charming.
For the next minute or two, the song will no longer be charming, but will at least provide the comfort of nostalgia.
Following that, the song will begin to echo into your soul, burrowing within and combining with the creepy ethnic stereotypes whirling around you to form some kind of apocalyptic hell.
Somewhere around minute 10, the hallucinations start. You will realize that not only is the world small, but so is the boat. This is bat country, and you need to escape.
Shortly thereafter, you will learn that the Disney secret police are large, burly, and overly-serious when it comes to their "Don't get out of the boat, sir" orders.
...or so I hear.
Point the first. Because every party has a pooper and that's why we invited the Paladin? I don't subscribe to any of this new-agey video-gamey "But the Paladin is just a tank-y spellcast-y smite-y kinda guy!" No, the Paladin's class is the boot, and happiness is the face that the Paladin is forever stomping on.
Point the second. I did mention the Disney secret police? Also, it's not water. It's the accumulated tears of decades of trapped individuals. Not of sadness- of terror. Tears of terror. And you can't get those stains out of your socks.
Point the third. I was unaware that one of the Battlemaster's abilities was that of allowing you to capitalize your attacks. Nevertheless, I am unsurprised. Of course, if WoTC would just allow you to play the class that cannot be named, you could capitalize your allies' attacks!
