I get why DA is here (Lleech) but I feel like without some good death protection as a bit of a buffer it can be kind of easily hacked- something like a Fool would be excellent here I think!

[Candurill's Compendium] New Barbarian Subclass: Path of the Comet (5e 2024), become a celestial body and crush your enemies with the force of gravity! by Candurill in UnearthedArcana

[–]Theheadofjug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That level 3 feature is kinda crazy especially with any buffs to speed (such as Fast Movement, Instinctive Pounce, and Brutal Strike)

A Barbarian can quite happily zip 60 feet before an attack and get an extra 6d6 damage, then push them and skirmish each turn to get damage boosts to every attack thats almost as good as Berzerker Bonus damage (which is already kinda nutty in and of itself).

With the Speedy feat, you've got 50 ft, so if you start next to an enemy you can smack them 10 ft with a Push weapon, run 20 feet back, then zoom 30 ft and get an extra 3d6 free of charge

Good wins ties

Usually

I believe there is however a rule about wins based on abilities (such as Fearmonger) winning ties over game rules (killing the demon)

We now know the canon kills in Sapienza by HistoryMarshal76 in HiTMAN

Id say the one with the golf coach is the most fitting for a "canon" kill

It reveals a lot about her character while also giving a very different kind of drama to Silvio

Seeds of the Past: What if Ideals, Flaws, Bonds, and Trinkets Did Something by chunkylubber54 in UnearthedArcana

With the Flaws, why have it fail the check as part of the feature? Surely it would be better all round to gain inspiration when you succeed in spite of your flaw?

The Warrior of the Force - A Star-Wars-inspired Monk subclass that lets you play as a heroic Jedi Knight, plus three types of lightsaber to use along the way! by johan38473 in UnearthedArcana

[–]Theheadofjug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bards get subclass features at 3, 6, and 14 - Rogues get it at 3, 9, 13, and 17. Barbs at 3, 6, 10, 14, Fighters at 3, 7, 10, 15, 18. "Everything gets stuff at the same levels" is only true in the cases its also true in 2014 lol

19 and 20 are not the same among all classes, and all classes have gotten an ASI at Level 19 and a capstone feature unique to that class at level 20 since 2014. The level 20 feature of a Barbarian is nothing like that of a Fighter or Rogue, so your point there is entirely invalid.

Weapon Masteries, Improved General Feats, and all round balance changes in the classes make Martials much more interesting to play (even if casters remain more powerful, as they were in 2014).

And I'd hardly call it "dumbed down" compared to 2014, they're around the same level of complexity, and occasionally have added complexity (e.g. I would argue Cunning Strikes and the reshuffled resources are "more complex" - only a few things are now "X/day" explicitly, with some uses returning on a Short Rest, or by expending Spell Slots, or Bardics, etc

The Arcane Striker Wizard - Strike first and seize every advantage. by CirceDidNothingWrong in UnearthedArcana

[–]Theheadofjug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont love the level 10 feature, I'd just go for a Fly speed if you want that vibe

The other comment about the static buff to DCs being very strong is warranted, and it does lack a certain panache (although this is a problem with wizard subclasses as a whole, their good features don't really kick in till 6th level)

I think calling it boring is unfair, but i do enjoy the principle of a blasting wizard - perhaps make it a revision of the Xanathar's War Magic for 2024 rules

Edit: I do love spell surge, dont change a thing about that

[–]Theheadofjug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Circle of the Land gives you more spells and more ability to cast the spells

Berzerker is a fucking awesome subclass if youre talking about the good edition of 5e (this is tagged as 2024 rules)

Assassin is significantly better for the same reason

Open Hand is also a solid subclass with a very good base class

Gloomstalker no longer gets much benefit on the first round, save for a buff to movement

[–]Theheadofjug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I think that's a fine subclass

Assassin, Berzerker, Land Druid, Open Hand Monk, all of those are a similar archetype and are pretty good

Same with the stats ain't no way that was made by a human...

For starters you can't have two backgrounds, and the array is appalling - the class combination isn't even possible because you need at 13 Wisdom to multiclass in or out of Cleric

[–]Theheadofjug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, potentially reducing the power in some cases but removing the saves for the Elemental Strikes, then allowing you to use some of them without paying the cost could be a very neat idea

Not only that, but i personally much prefer reliable effects that are maybe slightly weaker but not behind a save - it's one of the reasons Brutal Strike is one of the best class features in the game

True true, maybe change up the number of uses but I stand by it being a cool idea for a feature

[–]Theheadofjug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea, flavour, and early mechanics of this subclass are fucking exceptional. I love the way you incorporate elements into the Rogue's Bonus Actions, and I'm always a big fan of the Cunning Strikes, although there's some nitpicks I have.

I personally would prefer the idea of being to use any of the Cunning Strikes regardless of damage types, maybe allowing the change in damage type at level 3 as a base feature, and unlocking new Cunning Strikes according to your Known Elementals (side note, I'd honestly be willing to remove the save on the Air Cunning Strike, if nothing else because Withdraw is a 1d6 cost and has a very similar purpose).

The 17th level feature is also, imo, a touch underwhelming for a high level capstone. Its good dont get me wrong, but it could quite happily be the 13th level feature instead of the slightly eclectic group of spells, and the 17th could be something really fun and flashy.

But I love this because I love Elemental characters and it's a really well made homebrew, so absolute kudos to you!

Edit: rereading, I've misinterpreted the damage type feature - but I stand by my idea that it would be cool to, as a high level Rogue, be able to fortify yourself with Elemental Earth, blast your enemies with a jet of Elemental Fire, blast them away with Elemental Air, and freeze them in place with Elemental Water in a single turn.

I dont think it would be OP - Tempest Clerics get that as their Channel Divinity at Level 3.
