[QUOTE="Distracted DM, post: 9741366, member: 6894926"] Yeah, I'm quite aware that Heralds end up having a ton of exertion if they burn all their spell slots for it, but that's late in the game, at high levels. The big pains I've seen from heralds that caused the player to multiclass was because early on, they get pretty burned on exertion for maneuvers. My tables typically get 2-3 short rests per long rest, not to mention that other martials can burn hit dice for exertion if they really need to- the herald can't do that either. I hope that explains my "fix" of giving them a mini-pool of exertion, even if you disagree with it 😅 . They need that early boost IME, and it doesn't have such a big impact later on.. and early-mid game is where the "meat" is for most of my campaigns, where late levels tend to speed by. [/QUOTE]
