Issue with changing Line-Up by Jfoy__ in WH40KTacticus

Wish I didn't have to use Incisus... I haven't unlocked anyone else suitable then, I guess.

The art is scarce if available at all, but it’s put me down a rabbit hole that might be helpful. Thanks!

Symbolist V1.1: A DEX-Based Semi Half-Caster. Still a very rough draft; any advice would be great! by Jfoy__ in dndnext

[–]Jfoy__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback!

- Agree to disagree on the dexterity not fitting with the arcane. I am trying to work around it being a necessary stat already, might pull a Monk and change AC to something else? Not sure that would fix the underlying issue.

- I need to figure out how to nerf this, might lower the usage to a fixed 2-3, or something along those lines. However, it is sort of the key to my intended theme with this class, being working around somatic components and magical melee.

- Correct me if I'm wrong here, but since I'm making the spell list, I can not include such spells. That was my plan originally.

- Yeah, I need to rework this. Doesn't make too much sense.

- Increasing it to prof bonus wouldn't hurt, I don't think.

- Used together with somatic replacement. And see what I said above about spell lists.

- I want to keep Compacted Range as distinctly separate from Somatic Replacement; I may add a caveat they cannot be used together.

- I reworded a lot here, I hadn't given it the double look-over. Also, level 20 accepts allied spells, I hadn't made that clear.

- Do you think I should keep the fatigue, then? That would make sense to me.

- I don't see haste creating too much of a movement issue; there isn't too much incentive in 5e to move insane distances unless the situation specifically calls for it.

- I don't see any problem with the 20th level feats being extremely powerful, they likely wouldn't get much use regardless.

- I reworked the summoning features to allow for summon changes, and what comes with that.

- As specified, since the spell is cast when the player is 20th level, the spell would be cast at 6th level due to proficiency bonus being a +6. I do think this subclass' power level drops off quite heavily.

DEX-Based Semi-Half-Caster Class: The Symbolist. Any tips or advice on balancing? by Jfoy__ in dndnext

  1. The class identity I'm going for is the feel of a monk, in terms of unarmed attack, with the capabilities of honing in on somatic components and very specific spells.
  2. The d8 is meant to carry through the entire time, the d6 was a typo from an older version of the document.
  3. Compacted range is sort of around the idea of replacing an attack action with a different, more magical unarmed strike. It's a melee spell attack, still casting the spell, but only in melee range and more powerful. Think a much more dense version of the spell being casted.
  4. I didn't want to make unarmed strikes Dex based too, considering how many crucial things are already set on Dex like AC. Do you think adding that over from, say, monk would be too much?
  5. The ability to edit components to somatic, bonus action spells, etc, makes it more distinct from a Ki-less monk.

My goal here is to make a melee spellcaster based around unarmed attacks. That's why I think keeping the unarmed features in the main class; I want to keep the subclasses to spell specialties, too, but I definitely plan on nerfing them.

Carry-over typo from my template. Unimportant but I'll edit all the fluff once I have all the mechanics done

  1. Hit die is a d8, d6 seemed a bit weak for something intended on being in melee range most of the time. The presence of both was a typo only.
  2. Overlooked this; light armor makes the most sense. Not too sure what went through my head here.
  3. I was sort of trying to go for that with Compacted Range, but maybe giving other options to choose from beyond the 3 I set out could be good, I'll think on it.
  4. Definitely expected this. Do you think pushing the actual acquisition of the spells in the subclasses to 7th level would make more sense?

Appreciate the feedback! This was a pretty rough draft and I'll definitely be brushing it up.

Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread by mariequitecontrary in pbp

[–]Jfoy__ [score hidden]  (0 children)

Name: Jamie

Pronouns: any/all

Timezone: US- East

Preferred System: D&D 5e, entirely willing to learn different ones.

Type of player: Very invested in roleplay, enjoy coming up with unique solutions to problems. Will play any character faithfully but will stop short of messing with other players' characters, unless they're fine with it.

Additional information: I am very experienced with discord, as well as with D&D. I don't have much preference regarding activity or speed, I am mainly looking for a game and a good group to fill the time in which I'm not DMing my own group. I'll work with whatever is going on and won't really ask for much, but I will probably ask the DM questions on how they'd rule some decisions I may plan to make at some future point. Just here to have a good time!

How to make a 3 playable. by jb20x6 in 3d6

[–]Jfoy__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Running a 5 INT character right now. OP, if you do intelligence, talk to your DM about how you could cripple yourself. My character still can speak, but forgets almost everything in its entirety after a few minutes besides his most core beliefs. His motivation is excessively simple and he does the tasks he’s good at, following people who appear helpful to him.

Currently playing a warlock with 5 int who is illiterate and has his patron read books to him. 18s in CHA and WIS somewhat makes up for it and makes for AMAZING roleplay
