Also Battlesmith / arcane archer 3 seems good. UA Bladesinger can also attack with Int with a hand crossbow.

Agreed. But it's likely more than once per short rest. Yea, still probably the best. Maybe they should switch it to the end of your next turn. Or don't add any damage.

Brute: deals 1 big hit, disadvantage on concentration saves. Waits for others to pick the target than charges in. The Face: good Charisma and Insight well armored. Detect magic and propaganda. Tracker: good at tracking, long range, Ensnaring shot. Tends to stand back and watch the back door...

Beserker Barbarian with Mage Slayer. The muscle. When you need to disrupt concentration. Ancient Paladin, Detect Magic. The charmer. Talks to towns folk and attempts to sus out targets. Then immobilize them. Beastmaster Ranger, the Tracker. In case they try and run. Thief Rogue, expertise...

That's certainly a valid opinion. But it applies to BM as well. Well I screwed it up. Curving shot can be used every round, but I only added it once per short rest. And every ready shot can add another die or 2. So AA does even more damage than I calculated. I'll point out that Curving Shot...

I think your missing a few things. AA effects are much stronger. Restrained >> Trip, especially for a ranged attacker. Many of the effects roll twice the damage. Curving short doesn't take a die. It's just a bonus action attack if you miss. To put some quick numbers to it. AA adds 6d6 (21) at...

You may have missed that Banishing is +1dx Where most others are +2dx You also lose the opportunity to focus fire. You did damage to someone your allies can't target. Compared to Blind which gives your party advantage to hit it.

If a level 1 wizard can do it at-will with 1 action, then i don't see much issue with a fighter being able to repair armor over a short rest. Besides, I expect half of it is grabbing your helmet that flew off, tightening laces that came loose, getting slime out of your boots, pulling arrows out...

Mending 1 action Restore 1d4 armor points At higher level: at level 5 eestore 2d4, 11 restore 3d4, 17 restore 4d4 Small enough to not be worthwhile in combat (unless your an Armorer Artificer with some big bonus). But refillable with a few minutes work.

Dunno. Mending is a cantrip.

They did it for game reason, not realism. You need to separate out item levels more clearly and not let a level 2 party but level 20 equipment. Not that magic items are realistic in the first place. But it's supposed to be "rare and special" not "rich army mass producing wands of magic...

I guess that is the other way of reducing die rolls.

So if you don't have proficiency, and attack a extremely tiny target, then you can miss, sometimes. That's far enough outside normal D&D combats to not worry about IMO.

Pteranodon 60 fly speed, and doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. Only +2 Dex, but you can still grapple and dash drop.

Giant Toad. Bonus action grapple. Action to Swallow. Run away till they die. And you can still punch when you have someone swallowed.

At higher levels, yes. But not at level 2. Your AC is basically the same either way, no real bonus. Multiattack won't stack. Primal Stike doesn't work with unarmed attacks. Deflect Attacks work with THP, but it's just added and not multiplied. Dex is likely lowered in beast form (maybe?)...

Moving tales effort. It drains your stamina (HP). It's not like PCs can be "hit" by a sword multiple times. HP isn't how many chunks of flesh can be carved off of you. No. This is to simplify, not complicate.

They stack. I guess I could say 'increase max HP' instead of armor points. Have you ever actually missed when you swung a sword at something? No. It's been blocked or dodged, but that's effort of the targets part. But mostly it's just extra rolling that slows the game down.

Moon druid isn't as OP at low levels anymore. Which means dipping isn't as powerful. Otherwise it still works. In some ways nicer.

I'm sure some features would need tweaks. Defensive Duelist for instance. You repair it when you rest. Think it should be short rest recharge? Thought about that too, but that makes single big hits (rogue) better than a lot of small hits (dual wielding). The goal is that if they can take 10...
