I thought Zoomer was an interesting idea, so I remade it. Level 3: Fast Work As part of the dash action on your turn, you can make one melee weapon attack. In addition, enemies have disadvantage on opportunity attacks against you until the start of your next turn. Level 3: Improved Speed Your movement speed is increased by ten ft. and increases by an additional ten ft. every four levels, to a max of +50 at level 19. Level 9: Thunderous Dash As an action on your turn, you can make a thunder dash, travelling up to 90 ft. Enemies in the path of the thunderous dash have to make a dexterity saving throw, (dc 8 + proficiency bonus + dexterity modifier) taking thunder damage equal to a roll of your sneak attack, or half as much on a successful saving throw. You can use this thunderous dash and amount of times equal to your dexterity modifier. Level 13: Unimpeded Speed Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the Entangle spell. Level 17: God Dash As an action on your turn, you can move up to double your movement speed, and all creatures in that path have to make a dexterity saving throw with disadvantage (dc 8 + proficiency bonus + dexterity modifier) or take an amount of thunder damage equal to two rolls of you sneak attack die. I found it difficult to think of this class, and I had to basically repeat the level 9 feature, but I don't think the subclass is too bad. I wouldn't personally allow it in my games, despite it's low damage output, just because it will shred through large groups of enemies, and can run away from enemies with ease, (meaning they are never actually in danger in the wild.) The extreme speed is just a bit too problematic. If anyone can think of some improvements, or even new features that I could use to replace the current ones, I would be appreciative.

I'm a bit of a stickler for balance, but I'd allow this in my games if Fast Work was tweaked.

With the Zoomer subclass, you just completely overlooked how overpowered the first ability was. It wasn't just a +1 to Dexterity. It was a +1 to Dexterity EVERY TWO LEVELS. Since it doesn't specify that it has a limit, that means that, assuming you started with, say, a 16 in Dexterity, at level 19, assuming you didn't use any ASIs to increase your Dexterity, you'd have a 25 for your Dexterity score.

You're essentially a wild magic barbarian - you can do damage over time, assist your party, slow them down, push them back, slow them down (but different), LIGHTING!, cause attacks on them to have bonus damage (the area is rotting)?, chance to blind enemy on hit, damage over time, etc etc. It's an extremely cool concept, and would allow for some seriously clutch plays - you hit a teammate for like 100 damage but roll an 11! You're fighting the BBEG, your entire party, save one, is downed/dead, and now you are on zero health. Four. You have four turns to kill/distract this BBEG - you pull it off in some cool way, slump down and fail your remaining death saves. This is possibly the coolest thing i have heard in the past few weeks.

Some monsters had effects when bloodied, I think almost every dragon did. For example, an acidic enemy might be so covered in his juices that making contact with him with non magical weapons might damage them, or they might burst a gas bladder and have either a proximity damage effect or a close range miasma. It's a pretty good mechanic and can easily be added to almost any encounter.

@@Crocogator Not quite. It’ll force you to keep fighting until all your bones have been broken and your blood drained out of your body. If no blood gets to the brain the body dies. So it’ll keep you in the fight longer with grievous wounds, but will actually increase the chances of you dying of any injuries you receive hence the two automatic failed death saves. That cursed armor does a fine job of ensuring you’ll win a fight you’d ordinarily lose, but it does you no favors afterwards

My idea of a 'Bare Fisted Juggernaught' was based on a character I thought up, so I envisioned it as a Barbarian-version-of-Monk, so called it Way of the Glacial Mountain. I created for it a resource called Brutality (because damage bonuses every level are a little much) and the resource worked somewhat like a charge-up battery and when you attacked the points were spent if you hit. The barbarian lost weapon proficiencies and his extra attack, instead gaining more points of Brutality. It did include a similar abilities like a change to Unarmored Defense to use Strength and Con along with an ability to 'leap in front of allies', spending Brutality to absorb an attack rather than dodge, and changing physical blunt damage specifically into cold damage. The core of the idea was a 'One-punch-man' style of Barbarian who hit like an Avalanche and defended less like Monks/Rogues (using dex) and more like an immovable object. Additionally the style fit much better with Barbarian abilities and background than it did with Monk but still had the core of an overwhelmingly brutal single hit. If that guy had a similar idea, there's a place for such a thing to exist and definitely should be in D&D.

The best part is that it gives _zero_ explanation as to what the benefit to that would be. We're just left to guess why anyone would want wolf-teeth weapons. Do you get extra damage? Does it inflict debuffs? Is it just an aesthetic change? Who knows! But given that dental enamel is _definitely_ not as hard as steel, I'm inclined to believe that it'd be a step down from whatever weapons you were using before.

That Order of the Blade one actually reminded me of a character concept I had for a hexblade. Dude cursed with a sword with a very bloody history, actively wanted to be rid of it, and whenever it was drawn RP wise it wouldn't stop until everything that was an enemy was dead. As he reached certain thresholds of kills it would become +1, +2, +3, and then ultimately become a vorpal blade. There's definitely an appeal for the concept if you strike the right balance with it.

I think that bare-fist juggernaut class's grapple thing could be put onto a Henchman subclass but it is only in effect when the henchman is not directly attacking the enemy and a party member is talking to the enemy (Like when supervillains use henchmen have the hero subdued and is telling them there evil plan) A henchman class could be a support subclass made for supporting a singular other player in the party, It could have a focus on intimidation and preventing enemies from attacking or getting away so that the party member can deal with them easier. Like imagine there is this big burly orc grabbing you while a mob-boss gnome is spinning in a giant villain chair explaining how he's gonna deep fry you so bad that not even beelzebub would wanna take a bite outta ya.

Bloodied may not be official terminology in 5E, but it was an actual condition back in 4E. 4E had plenty of problems, sure, but I do love that particular mechanic. Some player and monster abilities interacted differently with bloodied targets, some abilities couldn't be used unless you were bloodied yourself, and a lot of bigger, more dangerous monsters had reaction effects they could trigger when a creature bloodied them. It's a lot like the mythic actions in Theros and Fizban, but scaled down significantly in power and given to more creatures. I've adapted a bit of that in my own game, giving one of my bosses an ability that they could use as as a bonus action once per long rest to power up, getting advantage on attacks for a few rounds and some temporary hit points, on the condition that the ability could only be used if the boss was at half of their maximum health or lower. In my opinion, it makes fights a lot more interesting and dynamic, and it's a shame they cut that particular aspect of 4E.

@BRHency10 ай бұрын
Bloodied (and the things you mentioned with it) would have been great to have in the core of 5e. It's fun and gives a 'desperation' ability sort of feel, but might feel a bit too much like a video game for some, I suppose. I feel like many abilities in 5e could even be balanced with it in mind. Imagine if Beastmaster Ranger had it as a core part of their kit that a bloodied enemy nearby would stoke a blood-lust in their animal companions, making those kinds of Rangers weak early in a fight, but once that condition occurs, they skyrocket in potential. Conditional stuff can be very good if the condition is bound to happen and the bonuses are good enough for it. Anyway - yeah put that into 5e/DnDOne

The spells would be randomly chosen from your prepared spell list unless you pass a spell save of 20 in which case you can pick the spell. Just suddenly EVERYONE IN A ROOM IS CHARMED, or there's a thunderclap that shakes the ground a blows the entire wall off a house. Finding it could be hilarious too as the players discover how it works. Party member: "Huh what a weird staff, it's cracked..." Wizard: "Here gimme a shot at this..." *CLAP SNAP* KABOOM!!
