Topple is the only mastery that gets a saving throw. Target can't be bigger than large size for push, but no saving throw.

Graze is a lot better than you give it credit for. You always do your ability score damage with every attack. So if you're a fighter with 20 STR, you'd always do AT LEAST 10 damage at level 5, 15 damage at level 11, and 20 damage at level 20. And that's if you missed every attack.

yes weapon mastery do duplicate some battlemaneuver but the big difference: 1- Maneuvers can be use a limited number of time per short rest VS weapon mastery are at will use all day long ability. 2- Maneuver can be use with almost any weapon VS weapon mastery can be uses with specific weapon. So they compliment each other. If your favorite battlemaster tactic is to bring the target prone and get advantage to all your attacks and give advantage to your melee focus team, grab a topple weapon so you can bring the target prone every attack without using resource. and you can now choose a different maneuver other then trip attack and grab riposte instead or ambush or any other maneuver that you wouldn't used before because all your limited superior dice were on trip attack.

1) I like masteries. 2) the notion that a fighter and wizard currently in 5e can pick up the same sword and use it equally wall,is kind of silly, barring that wizard being a Bladesinger. Fighter's get a number of abilities from fighting styles to extra attack to subclass features that will allow them to sue the sword better. Graze is mathematically better than it seems. It may not be interesting, but having a minimum damage of like 4 or 5 or higher if you have a belt of Giant Strength actually can increase your average damage quite a bit over having a minimum damage of 0 on a miss.

It's only op until you consider the things spellcasters can do.

Somehow they think a crossbow is blunt?

This seems pretty dope. Pme of the interesting things its going to grant. Not sure if its worth the death of smite but ill have to see

So many of these feel like old 3.5 feats, with no few of them being feats you would NEVER have chosen in 3.5, because there were just better options. Now there are no options, but hey, at least no one can "misbuild" their character now by failing to do some minimal level of optimization. Apparently the players need babysitting and the GMs need the rules to say "no you cant do that" for them.

My impulse personally is that it will really help bridge the divide between martials and casters. Sad that it'll help Rogue the least, who really needs the help, but I am skeptically optimistic that it will help a bit.

Yes yes. New rules for me to take and use if i like them and freely availiable online, still not buying their books till they get the rest of their crap together and stop actively ruining every IP they own for a quick shareholder buck. Im not coming back till i get a garunteed sealed deal the ogl isnt going to get fucked and mtg needs several pick ups of quality in every factor, and for the love of fuck, pay an intern to play at least more than 1 game with new cards before printing moronic nonesense like new ulamog and nadu. No way in hell is it acceptable they cant playtest, they quite literally are one of the only companies that have a customer base whod have zero issues being unpaid testers, grab top format topping players and just let them read the cards, id put money they could do a spot read on the card thats a better balancing job than current r and d version of whatever the hell they do.

I like the concept but i'm just being very skeptical in general for everything WotC does
