[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7680552, member: 22779"] If the action thing is a full turn of actions, where you can only take Attack or Hide as your actual action, but, you still gain move and bonus/reaction actions, this is ridiculously overpowered. Why wouldn't every single PC in the group dip for this? Imagine a 5 PC party where it can never be surprised, ever, and virtually always gains a free round of actions before the NPC's can act. Sure, the casters can't drop regular spells, but, sorc's can Quicken spells to become bonus actions. Burn a few points and poof, you drop a spell before the first round of combat, then shoot a crossbow for your action, then get your regular suite of actions in the first round. The fighter/rogue types just walk up and beat on the baddies for free. This is a rule that does not play well at all with the rest of the game. It's so overpowered that it doesn't make sense that the group wouldn't take advantage of this. Which classes wouldn't benefit from this? Maybe a straight up wizard or bard, I suppose, since they don't get many bonus actions. Cleric can use it to just move up and beat on stuff, as can the druid. All the "beat on stuff" classes would get major benefits from this. This is a very, very bad idea. [/QUOTE]
