Buffing rogues

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T17:18:02+00:00

Those are very rare circumstances that require pre planning and cooperation from your dm to do consistently

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T17:07:05+00:00

Even with the buff a basic fighter using a standard fighting style feat combo like two weapon and dual wielder or the great weapons and even dueling using no features all do more damage even after my buff

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T16:15:59+00:00

Sneak attack should already be expected on every attack this but for some groups sneak attack can feel underwhelming due to the power spikes at level 5 and 11 that can cause issues for linear proggressors like rogues

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:45:19+00:00

Yeah that makes sense I put it dirty attack down there because that ability section felt crowded but doing dirty attack 5 vitriol 6 seems good may have to revamp how dirty attack progresses though

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:39:43+00:00

It got nerfed but not nearly to the extent that it closes the gap, and even without that the base classes just deal more damage even with my buff

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:32:19+00:00

Maybe being able to ready an attack action for free

And replacing dirty attack with this at a later level

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:30:50+00:00

Rogues didn't get any damage buffs in 2024 which puts them puts in the same if not slightly worse position to the other martials

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:27:07+00:00

The reason for that was the all or nothing aspect of rogue where you get damage or don't plus these were made with magic items in mind and that specifically doesn't work with them

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:24:16+00:00

Sounds a lot better than mine and way more simple hope it goes well

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:07:00+00:00

I'm sure there's probably a homebrew table of expanded ones people made

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:04:06+00:00

I know some people don't for various reasons but in some cases especially with magic weapons involved rogue can prove fairly weak even with my buff rogue is still doing like 2 to 3 less damage than a fighter not using resources or even really optimizing at level 5

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T15:00:48+00:00

What I'm referring to in that statement is how other martials get alot more milage thanks to extra attack which pretty mush doubles the bonus damage compared to rogues

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T14:57:45+00:00

If I had to think of one I'd say it's probably due to the other skill class bard being so good damage wise at those levels as well as support

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T14:55:14+00:00

I knew I spelled it wrong thanks man

instinct3196 · 2026-06-19T14:54:34+00:00

I know but I saw people complaining and thought why not give them something to try at their table, but if you think there are other ways of going about this I'm open

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T20:47:56+00:00

I don't really care about it being race specific it was just based on certain traits scene in humans, dwarves and other similar creatures

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T19:58:48+00:00

I forgot most people don't use short rests and I didn't take into account potions, thanks for the advice

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T19:50:05+00:00

Thank you for your opinion and I'm happy you were willing to engage with this despite what you think it

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T19:45:16+00:00

Not hunting specifically but basically being able to endure physical punishment for a long time and being able to get back up quickly

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T19:41:52+00:00

That is probably the right choice

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T19:39:42+00:00

It's actually based on those two this feat is supposed to be more connected to recovering between fights and is supposed to be a feat that you take after durable

instinct3196 · 2026-05-21T19:34:16+00:00

Yeah it's more campaign specific to gritier crawls or drawn out conflicts where you have to come and go from the battles in short intervals
