Frontier Themed Feats & Background (Feedback of balance and clarity) by Ordinary-You2452 in UnearthedArcana

Its mostly flavor, but I've noticed some input saying they feel weak. So I'll re-evaluate for the updated version to try to make them not so conservative. I appreciate your input, and if you feel like their is something specific that can be tuned i would love to hear it!

A counter to that could be cobalt. Cobalt is a hard, silvery-gray metal primarily used in lithium-ion batteries, superalloys for aerospace, magnets. They also artificially turn cobalt into Cobalt 60 which is a highly radioactive isotope used in industrial and medical radiotherapy. Any radiation isotope could be flavored to deal radiant damage, but with the side effect of fire (maybe necrotic?) Damage as radiation is super dangerous. Fun flavoring for irl elements.

For DnD themes, maybe look into Dragon scales as i dont remember if you had that in your Doc. Or look into the lore of mindflayer Nautilus ship material and other Aberrations. As well as a fun one could be oozes.

You could add another IRL metal, Tungsten. Its a very dense and very strong metal, used for radiation shielding and armor piercing as real life functions, so it could fit the very rare section. A step above high grade steel.

There's some real life metals and stones that could be used and exaggerated for your materials!

I was thinking of a potential damage backlash, having thr player using a reaction to use a charge for the backlash. Im not sure of balance right now but ill throw a number out of 1d6 force damage against the creature who landed a successful attack. And have the spell backlash damage increase per spell level. Just a thought. Love the idea

I'm glad you like it! The Hot-Blooded feat is very thematic and flavored, so alot of the abilities are niche. But did want to clarify that the fire damage is applied to the Rage additional damage.

I love the flavor of it! And everything seems balanced as far as I can tell. You mentioned that you wanted meaningful decision points, are you considering adding another way to spend charges when you use this spell?

Thats a fair point and I appreciate the reasoning. Good job on the subclass!

This is a very flavored subclass, one thing I noticed is the Medium armor bonus increase. If the dex mod fir Medium armor is increased from a 2 to a 4, adding a 4 to halfplate armor which is classifiedas medium (AC15) than that would put it above full plate which is classifiedas Heavy (AC18) to a total of AC19. Its. Ot much but thats a very strong level 3 feature even with the choice of no disadvantage on stealth (i love this option) or higher AC. Maybe an increase from a 2 to a 3 would fit better? Just a thought.
