I quite like that idea, with the monsters trying to disrupt the caster and allies trying to protect the wizard. But i feel like that would require a new edition with that philosophy more up front.

Assuming a 3 part creature (or 3 parts left alive) Your suggestion: Cast Banish at level 4 (1 target), needs 3 failed saves. My suggestion: Cast Banish at level 6 (3 targets), needs 3 failed saves. Not sure which is more balanced.

some of each. I guess. "Roll an Int check". "It's big enough to attack just it's leg" just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that only part of it teleports. You need to teleport/banish/push all parts together, or it doesn't go. When your the size of 5 creatures, you need power to banish 5...

Good points. And yea, these generally all have the same stats and each one is simple. It should be doing the same amount as the current one, just spread out. But I think using bloodied keeps the feeling well enough. So 5 seems good for my example IMO. Also, I think it depends on if the...

I agree that AoE should be more effective than 1 target, but less effective than hitting all of them. How about Half the non-Incapacitated parts (rounded up) Monsters choice. Also something about the number of 5' cubes covered. I.e. A red dragon blasted with a cone of cold and he puts his...

I don't see how it would be any more tricky to balance than fighting 3-5 normal creatures. there are no facing rules, so just pick a part within range. Same rules as if you had a rider and mount or a bunch of tiny creatures (with AoE exception) All parts share the same stats, but you can...

I reduced the number of parts by making use of Bloodied. I.e. bloodied wings reduces fly speed. Keeps the same feel, but i agree, I did get a bit carried away with 9 parts. Could be convinced to reduce it further. Edit: 3 to 5 parts sounds about right IMO.

The idea is to turn big creatures into multiple connected smaller ones. Each part has it's own HP and turn. This replaces legendary resistance, legendary actions, and multi-attack. As you get more turns to make saves, and do more small actions between PC turns. AoE's only affect half the...

Or if you change targets. Of course, you can take both. It's a die less for the battlemaster to do that, and depends on the number of fights per short rest. It would still be nice to see the numbers.

Precision attack does more damage. Turning 0 damage into 1d8+dex(+proficiency with GWM). Even if you still miss half the time, that's better damage. It's just damage, no fancy effect, but more damage. Add Champion's advantage on initiative. Like 1 extra turn per day.

Bladesinger was more a general comment, not aimed at you specifically. But what's the rest of your party? If you have a barbarian or paladins that's just going to run up and hit things, then using battlemaster to push isn't going to add any value. If you have a druid putting spiked growth down...

Bladesinger was just updated in the new Forgotten Realms book.

Just going to point out that Bladesinger can use ranged weapons now. You'll still want to dip fighter 1 for martial ranged weapons and archery style. If you cast haste, you can truestrike + attack + Truestrike + crossbow Expert bonus attack. Or conjure Minor Elemental and 3 attacks.

Are you sure it's not intended? At-will frightened + short rest inspiration might be slightly too strong that they felt like they needed to nerf the stats slightly. Side note. Allies can willingly fail saves. So just scare them out of combat for easy heroic inspiration.

That won't work. Dance bard and Genie won't stack. Genie did in the playtest, but that was fixed.. It's just 10+Dex+Cha either way. Bladesong stacks though, but 16/16/16 gives 19 AC Mage armor also has 13+3 Dex+3 Int = 19 AC. Highest defense would probably be barbarian 1 (maybe 3 for totem)...

Not particularly. Sure they have several cold spells, and would loose out on a meager 1d4 extra damage once per turn, but rangers have plenty of other options. Like Flame Arrow. Theme aside, they get a bunch of THP, a mass heal, reaction stun (which is pretty meh), and the ability to walk...

Worth noting that it works ranged weapons as well. Dip barbarian for Dex+Con+Int AC (or monk), grab Crossbow Expert, and dual wield Hand Crossbow ls works too.

5 per target (presumably Cha =+3) So that's the difference between 15 and 30 HP per short rest. Life clerics channel divinity heals 15 at level 3 as an action. And not really because divine spark would of healed 8 anyways. So yes, it is significant healing for a subclass. If you limited it...

I would reduce the amount they heal if you do that. Like half your fighter level.

Different reviewer, but there you go.
