As you said, you're looking at the internet and theory crafting. Is that how it will actually be played? People say stuff like being 'pushed away' and not 'pushed directly away' means you can launch the creature into the air and thus knock them prone on taking 1d6 damage. But who actually plays like that?So are these house rules for actual play or just a puzzle? It is okay if it is the latter, but it is good to specify that.Secondly, the power of subclasses often doesn't take into consideration how powerful the base class is. Bard is not only a full caster, they are a full caster with strong special abilities like bardic inspiration.They aren't supposed to be a strong fighter. I've seen this criticism of dancing bard too where people don't like that they aren't don't unarmed strikes all the time. But they are full casters, that is still mainly what they are about.Keeping things simple is usually the best way to go about it. I bet you could accomplish your stated goals with more minor tweaks but then I don't really think there need to be any.</blockquote>
