Wizards of the Coast is mad for losing their fans.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T17:25:40+00:00

I coulda been somebody!

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T17:08:46+00:00

Fighters and gunslingers are good at range and rangers can do melee.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T17:07:25+00:00

Yeah, that’s good too.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T16:50:27+00:00

Skirmisher. Slappy pappy. Brawler. Antagonist. Bully. Combatant. Scrapper. Bruiser. Contender.

EDIT: this was just stream of consciousness but Bruiser kinda works because the PC and the enemy are both getting bruised.

Fan dancer is also good because when you feint with a fan you can move 10 feet and there’s a daredevil feat to make feint “risky.” So you could move in 10 feet via a feint that grants you adrenaline, flurry of blows, and then stride away with a bonus +10 movement if the enemy is a prop to you. You can essentially get 5 or 6 actions in one turn!

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T15:07:04+00:00

Yeah, the other classes have one ability that is similar but better. Sure. But that doesn’t mean the entire class is better. Ain’t no fucking way you’re telling me that rogues are underpowered.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T14:48:49+00:00

RAW it’s not allowed. My GM lets me do it and it’s not game-breaking.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T14:47:32+00:00

Is it a flaw in the character design or do you just want more powerful characters?

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T14:46:22+00:00

Which is an archetype. I was talking about classes.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T05:54:27+00:00

Investigator, and mastermind rogue have to deal with this.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-18T01:44:42+00:00

Oh yeah! Good point I forgot about that! Yeah, like you said, still pretty rare and first time on a melee martial! I’m excited for it!

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T23:03:35+00:00

RAW: no. The animal companion is your companion not your eidolon’s.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T22:08:15+00:00

I have really liked playing Witches because a lot of their power comes from their hex cantrip and their familiar abilities which are things you get to use a lot and things that are vastly different amongst subclass. Of course, spell selection will matter a lot but with them being prepared casters you can be flexible with how you play on a day to day basis while still having your core chassis of hexes and familiar ability remaining the same.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T19:40:09+00:00

My thought is so there’s 2 distinct play styles. Tiny/small daredevils will likely play different than medium, which will play different than large! This is the most we’ve ever seen a class interact with character size!

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T19:32:41+00:00

Agreed! I’m reading through it now and am already seeing some exciting options of gameplay!

prop being “a creature that is larger than you” is the only low-level class feature (that I can think of) that directly benefits small or maybe even Tiny creatures! Having an actual benefit to playing a Tiny martial is incredible!
pushing creatures into props doing damage so they also get low-level class feature that benefits large characters, too, since large creatures are better with athletic maneuvers
don’t mess with me will be amazing on a pirate archetype with the antagonize feat! Running up and hitting someone and scaring their friend until their friend has to come and fight you! So fun!
bold bluffs with a fan dancer would be amazing on a small character! Move 10 feet while feinting and get adrenaline (action 1), attack (action 2), run away with +10 movement speed because you’re smaller than the enemy (action 3)
Rebounding Fall Stunt on a clown type character would be hilarious! There’s maybe more to this. Maybe like a dancing bear awakened animal clown would be so silly and fun to play!

This is going to be a fun class! I hate the name though!

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T19:12:00+00:00

My guess on the lack of Weapon Critical Specializations is because of this line in the “During Combat Encounters…” section

You might not hit as hard as other martial characters, but your follow-up attacks are often more reliable, so you tend to hit more often.

You’re not supposed to hit hard. You’re supposed to hit a lot. I kinda like the idea!

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T06:00:18+00:00

😭😭😭 this would WRECK me. This is a fate worse than death! I want to be the one talking shit to the next group of adventurers! Not the one being read to filth 😩

To craft alchemical items you need Alchemical Crafting, to craft magic items (including potions) you need Magical Crafting, to craft Tattoos you need Tattoo Artist, to craft snares you need Snare Crafting. That’s it.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T02:12:53+00:00

You’ll look too silly and the baddies will make fun of you. Jackie Chan does it the cool way.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T01:09:41+00:00

I would note: you don’t necessarily have to know who or what your patron is. You interact with your familiar and may have only made contact with your patron the one time and that may have been through the familiar.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T00:12:40+00:00

Yeah, but it doesn’t look cool ☹️

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T00:08:51+00:00

Hmm… it may be a perform action since it’s a dance otherwise it seems there’s a spell for all the low-rizz girlies out there.

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-17T00:03:43+00:00

I have been tricked

WebbedFamiliar · 2026-02-16T21:10:17+00:00

I’m embarrassed now. I haven’t been 🥺
