They've got you tracking something doing truly tiny damage (WOO 2 points twice a day LOOK OUT!!!!), and having to follow strict rules about its usage, and it's really just like, why bother? Why not make it conditional so you don't have to track usage? Or just make it do noticeable damage (I guess at the very high end +6 isn't terrible, it's about 1d6+1d4, but sheesh)? Or drop the conditions so you can at least burst it out and forget about it?To be clear, Goblin is a perfectly good race - Nimble Escape is great! Darkvision and Fey Ancestry are solid, so no complaints power-wise, but why make people track that? It's actually worse than going off Short Rest, because at least 1 per Short Rest means no real tracking, just binary "did you use it or not"?There's been a number of similar abilities of late, and yeah the UA was full of them, and they just need to stop, or make a universal resource.</blockquote>
