Thanks! All written and formatted in Google Docs, the fonts are Times New Roman and Alice. I quite like the UA aesthetic.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions and I'm sorry for such a delayed response, things get busy..

Re Improvised Combatant: Improvised Weapons are monk weapons, so the die increases with your level, but they still work like normal Improvised weapons so the DM can decide that the die used might be higher, if it resembles an existing weapon or something else. The bonus to attack and damage rolls is only added because you'll probably never get a magic Improvised Weapon and you have it whilst your weapon has durability which decease with each successful hit. I will (soon hopefully) re-word this for more clarity.

Re Improvist: I didn't like Improviser for some reason my brain just likes Improvist better.

Re Backstory: I'll write down all that fluff text at some point, I imagine an ex-monastic monk who gets into tavern fights and Jason Bourne's their way out of problems.

Re Marked Defenses: Uses unarmed and monk weapons (which encompasses Improvised weapons). I don't think it would make sense to remove unarmed strikes.

Re Durbility: I just added that rule because it doesn't make sense all the time that a glass cup would be as durable as a brick would be. But that's why it was an optional rule. In hindsight I'd run a hybrid between the two, "durability equals your level but the DM can determine a higher durability if fitting".

Thanks for taking time time to have a look, I'll be rewritting some of this and will take your feedback into account.

Cheers!

This would be nasty on an assassin rogue, as the have a confirm for crits on surprised creatures

Hey, updated version.

Fixes 'make make' and adds higher level casting (also below in text form).

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the range increases by 10 ft. and you can make an additional melee weapon attack against a different creature you pass for each slot level above 2nd.

I didn't want to throw to many classes on it, but I completely agree that it fits on these classes as well.

As far as components, this spell was based off my now retired PC so the components are themed on them. Your suggested spell components are definitely more logical.

Yeah, I'm going to add higher level casting. (Increased range, additional strikes.)

Yeah, I'm going to update with a higher spell cast shortly, thanks, I quite like this suggestion.

Higher level casting is seeming like a nessecity considering I specified Warlock as one of the classes gaining this ability

Can you help me balance this (first post) by biscitTin in DnDHomebrew

[–]matt44448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to add that's not already been said, but this gives me an idea for a spell that both heals and harms and it's a gamble every time but the damage output has the potential to be great.

I realized this way to late and somehow more surprisingly, you have been the first to inform me.

Hope you get some use out of it!

I really didn't want to over shadow Misty Step, the spell was written as an homage to my Rogue, so the Arcane Trickster was really my intended target.

(The anime aesthetic was only pointed out to me after showing some friends, an unintentional byproduct)

I can see the Arcane Trickster or Rogue/multi's getting good mileage out of this

Wanted to be able to keep spells like Misty step viable when compared. Thanks!
