Improved and Superior Critical both look a lot better with a reroll every turn. Exciting stuff!

My favorite class upgraded! This is perfect y'all. I'm a lifelong player but I love simplicity. This will hopefully push the champion to the spot it deserves in the community

Glad the champion is getting some improvements. Compared to many other subclasses in 5E, Champion always felt like it was really lacking. The new features sound pretty good.

Excellent. Much better than the revised Champion I had cooked up in 2021. It certainly really needed one.

That reroll mechanic is interesting and incredibly powerful! Better to use on attack rolls than damage rolls. And with a single die, the larger the die the better (much better on a D10 or D12 than one on the 6 sided dice from a greatsword). But this also means more options to impact stuff. Combine with pushes, or trips, or grapples and you’ll succeed a lot more. Should also mesh really well with the feat that adds battle maneuvers. Now you are more likely for that … disarm or trip or whatever to happen. I could see (incredibly late game) multiclass potential here, too.

I agree with the new surprise rule, though maybe I would additionally give bonuses in certain ambush situations of course (one attack with Advantage if unseen, maybe a bit of movement, etc.).

Champion Fighter sounds like a lot of fun now! Glad they got that one feeling right.

I’m currently playing a variant human champion fighter in a long form campaign. Sounds like I’ll be switching that character to the one dnd champion, it sounds like a really good upgrade.

So cool! This is a great new take on a classic. After playing for about ten years, I’m so excited to play a champion fighter again 🤘🏹⚔️

Wait so: You sit hidden with a crossbow, aiming at a surprised enemy. You attack to start the combat, only to roll a bad initiative roll and then get your turn after the person who you haven't even attacked yet? Seems weird

Ala Carte coming back?

Not sure if this would make the Champion a more convincing options than even the current subclasses for Fighter. It is definitely a good step but many of those abilities come far in the class. Who here often plays on the 15+ lvl campaigns ? Most of them end at 10-14. Having a reroll for crit fishing is nice but still not as impactful as a Battle Master who can clearly manipulate the battle field in so many different way straight up at lvl 3 Fighter. The new champion at the same level wouldn't get that much comparatively. Even if the Remakable Athlete comes in at lvl 3 with the extra crit, that's a 10% chance of getting extra movement per attack, but how good is that feature if your target isn't dead ? Globally speaking, this feels a bit bland, not as much as the current Champion but the changes aren't that dramatic. To compare, they dropped the spell schools limitation for Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickers, just that alone opens up both subclasses to be acting in very different ways and have access to a whole lot more of options. Meanwhile the new Champion can maybe run further away if there is a critical hit. Not that much different from using a Maul with the new weapon mastery. Instead how about this: - Allow the new Champion to have better/improved Fighting Style, like adding half your Str bonus rounded down on top of base Str bonus when you are using the Great Weapon Fighting style like back in 3.x ed. - Allow the crit hit on a 19+ at lvl 3, 18+ at lvl 8-10 and 17+ at lvl 18. - Give the Champion expertise in Athletics, he is supposed to be better than anyone else at this. Currently a Bard or Rogue would be just as if not more athletic than a Fight Champion. Just those 3 changes alone would make the Champion subclass a lot more convincing while still keeping its identity.

Your video just made my day 100 times better. Keep up the fantastic work!

Love the Survivor feature but I feel like having it at Level 18 makes it a bit meh, having it as a level 14 feat and something like changing the Crits to 18-20 at Level 18 would be better or another way for them to gain advantage on attacks/boost their damage once per short rest

Is that the vorpal greatsword that the art is carrying?

The Champion was easily the weakest subclass in the entirety of 5th edition, so I'm really glad to hear these changes. It always bothered me that the "default" subclass of the most iconic class barely improved it.

Does anyone know when the next season of battle for beyond is coming out?

BRING A LA CARTE BACK !!

Has strength become as relevant as dex?

hype

Critical hit effects are very unreliable, even with boosted crit chance, should’ve also allowed the ability to activate on killing an enemy

Not only did you not add any tactical depth to the subclass, but you also ruined the surprise round. Great job! You didn't even implement your idea properly: why not make it so that for a surprise round all opponents make their turns only after the players. Give this mechanic some impact, you know, since for real warfare ambushes are kinda a big deal after all
