[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7927436, member: 6801228"] I'm sorry, no where in the fluff or the mechanics does it talk about "learning" the ability. It just says you can do this because you think and act faster than everyone else. So, you can homebrew it if you like, but it isn't a learned ability by RAW. His hesitation caused him to act slower, preventing him from being able to dash or hide as a bonus action (disengage never came up). By level two, he was growing more confident and was able to dash or disengage as a bonus action. I was never unable to take actions, I simply became able to take more actions as he grew more confident. Because he actually is incredibly fast and able to act in combat faster than his companions when he is acting at full capacity. The point being, that for my character, this ability manifested from a different source than the PHB suggested. I'm glad something good is coming out of this thread. Hope you have a ton of fun with your concepts. The Lycanthropy thing sounds particularly awesome if you are going in the direction I'm thinking. Which is that the "spirit" of the curse was bound, but appears during the rage and other abilities. [/QUOTE]
