I make use of these existing rules:

Feats & Multiclassing
Healers Kit Dependency & Slow Natural Healing
Action Options (Climbing Creatures, Disarm, Mark, Overrun, Shove Aside, Tumble)
Hitting Cover

And these custom rules:

When rolling for stats, each player only rolls one set of 4d6-best-3. Everyone shares the results rolled, with the DM rolling additional sets if there are fewer than 6 players to make up a full array.
Any character can sacrifice +2 stat increases in order to choose a feat at level 1. Thusly, Variant Human and Custom Lineage are unavailable.
Inspiration functions like Portent: You roll a d20 and save that result to use in place of a roll of your choosing
Advantage & disadvantage cancel each other out at a 1:1 ratio
Critical hits double all damage, not just dice (excluding Critical-specific effects like Orcish Savage Attacks, Barbarian Brutal Critical and the Piercer feat)
Thrown weapons can be drawn freely like ammunition
Versatile weapons count as Finesse while being wielded with two hands
Two-Weapon Fighting works with light melee weapons, natural weapons and unarmed strikes
You can only cast one levelled (non-cantrip) spell on your turn
Anyone can use spell scrolls
When reduced to 0 HP you gain one level of exhaustion (5eR's exhaustion, -1 to all d20 tests for each level up to 10 levels)
If you already have the Extra Attack feature and gain a duplicate of it you instead gain an ASI (which can be swapped for a feat as usual)
You can have a maximum of one NPC under your control at a time. This includes sidekicks, familiars, mounts, pets and summons
Optional: Instead of HP being Hit Die + Con Mod each level it is instead Hit Die + Con score at level 1 and only Hit Die at each subsequent level. Con Mod still applies to Hit Dice spent during rests

If you're playing with a grid, use Hexes for naval combat. A naval combat round is closer to one minute instead of six seconds.
Every ship statblock contains its mounted weaponry, AC, speed, handling and three pools of HP: Hull, Rigging and Crew. The ship will also contain the Attack/Check and Save bonuses of its crew.

AC functions like elsewhere
Speed is measured in spaces (ranging from 5 to 10 or so, most typical vessels operating between 6 to 8 speed). For sailing vessels favorable winds often provide a bonus of 1 or 2 extra movement in the appropriate direction.
Handling is the number of hexes you must move forward in order to turn your facing one hex-face, typically 2:1 for most vessels but 1:1 for particularly nimble vessels and 3:1 for cumbersome ones
Hull HP portrays the structural integrity of your ship, and can be damaged by most forms of cannon and catapult. At 0 Hull HP a vessel begins to sink, making Death Saving Throws against DC 18
Rigging HP portrays the status of the means of movement of a vessel, and can be damaged by pretty much anything. At 0 Rigging HP a vessel is immobilized and cannot take the Attack or Evade actions.
Crew HP portrays the manpower the vessel has available to it in order to function, and can be damaged by weapons that target an area (like grapeshot) or can be fired repeatedly (like bows). At 0 Crew HP the vessel has insufficient manpower and suffers disadvantage on all of its attacks, checks and saving throws.

How to run a combat:
Firstly roll initiative as normal, each vessel being treated as its own entity unless you're using some form of side initiative.
On a vessel's turn it first performs movement (see handling for turning), then decides on the action it wants to take during that movement: Attack, Board or Evade. Finally, PCs and important NPCs the DM designates may each take one action or bonus action.

Attack: Make one attack in a direction of choice (depending on how weapons are mounted on the vessel) against another ship within range using the vessel's Crew bonus. A hit causes damage based on the number of weapons facing that direction.
Board: Attempt one opposed check using the vessel's Crew bonus against another adjacent ship. Each turn you spend your action to repeat this check; three successes before three failures claims the ship from it's defenders, and if the reverse is true your attempt is repelled. While you are in a boarding action both vessels speeds are reduced to 0.
Evade: Vessel gains an additional +2 speed and enemy attacks are at disadvantage against it until the start of the vessel's next turn

Example:
A frigate on open waters is threatened by a pirate ship; the winds are against it so it opts to rely on its cannons instead of attempting to flee. Spending its movement to turn and angle its six broadside cannons on target, the frigate rolls a 17 with its crew bonus against the pirate's 16 AC, hitting with all six for 8d6=32 Hull Damage. This is unfortunately not enough to cripple the pirate and on it's turn closes the distance to engage in boarding action, its seasoned crew rolling a 19 vs the relatively green frigate crew's 12. Next turn both ships are locked together at 0 speed, but that doesn't stop the frigate from attempting another volley of cannonfire as the pirate ship is still aside it.

Sample Weapons:
Ram: [speed]d8 damage (hull), plus half to rammer
Grapeshot: Range 4/12, d8 damage (rigging or crew)
Broadsider: Range 6/18, d8 damage (hull or rigging)
Longbow: Range 6/18, d2 damage (rigging or crew)
Ballista: Range 6/18, d4 damage (rigging or crew)
Catapult: Range 8/24, d6 damage (hull or rigging)
Spells: Subject to DM. Rule of thumb is divide damage dealt by 10 (rounding up), or 5 if spell affects an area

Sample Crew:
Skeleton (not the creature): +2 attacks/checks, +2 saves, d4s for Crew HP
Rough/Green: +4 attacks/checks, +3 saves, d6s for Crew HP
Standard: +6 attacks/checks, +4 saves, d8s for Crew HP
Veteran: +8 attacks/checks, +5 saves, d10 for Crew HP
Elite: +10 attacks/checks, +6 saves, d12 for Crew HP

Sample statblocks:
Sloop: 13 AC, 6d8 (27) Hull HP, 4d6 (17) Rigging HP, 3dX Crew HP, Speed 8, Handling 1 per 1, 2x2 side weapons
Corvette: 14 AC, 10d8 (45) Hull HP, 8d6 (28) Rigging HP, 6dX Crew HP, Speed 7, Handling 1 per 2, two front weapons, 2x4 side weapons
Galleon: 16 AC, 16d8 (72) Hull HP, 1d46 (49) Rigging HP, 12dX Crew HP, Speed 7, Handling 1 per 3, 6 front weapons, 2x9 side weapons, 4 rear weapons, 2 top weapons

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself.

You can use Elemental Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.

Subtle Spell
When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components

Twinned Spell

Level 7: Magical Guidance
When you make an ability check that fails, you can spend 2 sorcery point to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll, potentially turning the failure into a success.

Level 10: Spontaneous Sorcery:
You have uncanny magical talent, able to pull together just the spell you need when you need it. When you cast a spell you can choose to cast any spell of a level you can cast drawn from any list, as if it were one of your spells known. Once you use this ability you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Level 11: Magical Refusal

You are proficient with this weapon and can use your Charisma bonus instead of your Strength or Dexterity to determine your bonus to hit and damage with it. Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

Level 3: Pact of the Talisman
Can be used on failed attack rolls as well as failed ability checks.

Spell Invocations
Any invocation that would ordinarily allow you to Cast X using a Warlock spell slot once per long rest (for example, Minions of Chaos), you instead learn as a spell and can cast at its base level once per long rest without using a spell slot.
The same applies to Eldritch Smite.

Otherworldly Elixir
Prerequisite: Pact of the Chalice, 7th level Warlock

Pact Guardian:
Prerequisite: 5th level, Pact of the Chain feature

Tome of Arcane Mastery

You can use your Book of Shadows as a spellcasting focus for your Warlock spells, and you can use it to cast one 1st or 2nd level Warlock spell you know without expending a Pact Magic slot. Once you cast a spell in this way you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Witchplate
Prerequisites: Pact of the Blade
When you use your action to summon your Pact Weapon you can also create and don a suit of magical armor of a type you are proficient with.
It disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the armor (no action required), or if you die. While you live, your suit of pact armor can't be removed against your will.
You can transform one magic suit of armor into your pact armor by performing a special ritual while it is in front of you. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the armor, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact armor thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient suit of armor in this way. The suit of armor ceases being your pact armor if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different suit of armor, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The suit of armor appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

A wall of light appears at a point you choose. It can be in any orientation, and can be free floating or on a surface. It can be up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. It blocks line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it. It emits 120 feet of bright light and an additional 120 feet of dim light.
Creatures that start their turn inside the area of the wall or move through it during their turn take 5d8 Radiant damage, or half on a successful Constitution saving throw. Creatures that fail their saving throw are also blinded for one minute.

You can use an action to launch a laser from the wall at a creature you can see within 60 feet of it. Make a ranged spell attack. On hit, the target takes 5d8 radiant damage. Hit or miss, the wall's length is reduced by 10 feet. If the wall's length reaches 0 feet, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot above 3rd.


Circle Of Death
6th level Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Each creature in a 60 foot radius from a point you can see within range must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 10d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Tenser's Transformation
6th level Transmutation
Casting time: 1 Action

- You have advantage on weapon attack rolls
- Your weapon attacks deal an extra 2d12 force damage
- You have proficiency with all simple weapons, martial weapons and shields
- You have proficiency in Strength and Constitution saving throws
- You can attack twice instead of once when you take the Attack action on your turn. You ignore this benefit if you already have a feature, like Extra Attack, that gives you extra attacks.

You can choose to end this spell early as a bonus action. If you do so you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion.


Avasculate
7th Level Evocation
Casting Time: 1 Action

A glowing bead appears at a point you can see within range for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your concentration is broken or because you decide to end it, each creature in a 20 foot radius centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes fire damage equal to the total accumulated damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The spell’s base damage is 14d6. If at the end of your turn the bead has not yet detonated, the damage increases by 1d6. If the glowing bead is touched the creature touching it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save the bead detonates immediately, on a successful save the creature can pick up and throw the bead up to 40 feet, detonating when it strikes a creature or solid object. The fire damages objects in the area and ignites flammable objects that aren’t being worn or carried.

I'm not sure if this is asking for feedback or just listing them for reference, but I have some thoughts about it either way.


Variant rule: Long rest ability conversion
You triple the number of uses of all your current and future short rest based class features, such as Action Surge or Ki, however they are no longer regained upon finishing a short rest. Only a long rest will recharge these abilities.
Have you used this one in action before? If so, let me know how it went. I'd love to get rid of the awkward short-rest / long-rest dynamic, but I'm pretty afraid of fighters using Action Surge three times and trivialising a major encounter.


Two-Weapon Fighting: When you take the Attack action and are holding a one handed weapon in each hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with the weapon that you are holding in your off hand. If you have the Extra Attack feature, you can make this extra off hand attack as part of the attack action instead of using a bonus action.
I've seen people use this fix before and I don't get it. It doesn't solve the problem. Dual-wielding still falls behind in damage, and getting your bonus action back is only situationally useful. It does nothing for fighters, the class that suffers most when dual-wielding, since they don't have any frequent bonus action uses anyways. Am I missing something that makes this fix work?

My personal fix for dual-wielding is that a) the amount of bonus action attacks increases with Extra Attack, and b) Two-Weapon Fighting Style allows you to dual-wield non-light weapons instead of the usual benefit (thus making it impossible to get Str or Dex to damage on off-hand attacks). The damage works out perfectly this way, though it admittedly leads to a lot of rolls.


Iron Will:
- You gain proficiency in Will saving throws
-

This one is still missing the second benefit, though you probably knew that. It's admittedly a tough one. Resistance to psychic damage, perhaps?

The rest looks good. I like your list of downtime activities.


Firstly this overrides the PHB rules, so you add your stat to damage and can use any one handed weapon in the off hand. You give up a shield, spell focus, etc to have a second weapon in your other hand and get a bonus action attack, that simple. Which means TWF isn't at a disadvantage right out the gate anymore and the fighting style is free to do something nice extra, such as getting that second weapon in use on opportunity attacks.

Feats that give you bonus action attacks (CBM, GWM, PAM) aren't straight upgrades from this anymore, and the Dual Wielder feat mitigates the partial loss of a shield plus some bonus damage if you focus on one target at a time.
Post level 5 (or when you get extra attack) your bonus action is freed up, which means TWF now costs you nothing but a free hand and actually makes it pretty damn impressive in terms of damage output. This is important for Barbarians, Rangers, Monks, even Bards and Clerics as they have uses for their bonus actions already, even before feats get involved. So now more than just the odd fighter or rogue might be seen with two weapons in hand, and it could possibly be too good.

I guess I get the reasoning, but it seems detached from the actual problem. Before level 5, dual wielding was already a good option for the classes that support it (fighter, ranger, rogue), and I deem it perfectly decent for paladins and barbarians as well, with or without a fighter dip for Two-Weapon Fighting Style. These last two are gimped a little because they have other bonus action uses, but they get better synergy in return, because they can apply their Rage damage or their Divine Smite more often. The true problem is that at level 5 all other combatants have their damage doubled, while a dual-wielder merely has it increased by 50%. The fighter gets the shortest end of the stick at level 11, when the damage of all other fighters increases by 50%, but that of the dual-wielder increases only by 33%.

I think the best stance to take is that all weapon options should be equally viable to the most basic type of combatant, i.e. the fighter. Results will differ for characters that have more bonus action uses, but those characters are also likely to get better synergy out of their extra attacks. For example: the barbarian's extra Rage damage makes up for not being able to off-hand attack on the first turn; the paladin's extra Divine Smite opportunities make up for the increased opportunity cost of bonus action spells; the extra damage you get out of Hunter's Mark or Hex makes up for not getting all your attacks in the turn you cast it. Thus, I'm using the fighter to illustrate the balance discrepancies.

It should be noted that dual-wielding has a few auxiliary benefits over great weapon fighting, which should be taken into account:
- More weapon options, including finesse and throwable.
- Weapons are easier to conceal.
- Easier to carry several back-up weapons.
- Harder to fully disarm.

That said, here is my analysis on the balance between dual wielders and great weapon users, accounting for fighting styles but not feats. I'm counting Great Weapon Fighting Style as +1 damage per attack.

Vanilla
Fighter level 1
Great weapon: 2d6+4 (11) total damage, one target.
Dual wielding: 2d6+6 (13) total damage, up to two targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action.
Verdict: Balanced.

Fighter level 5
Great weapon: 4d6+10 (24) total damage, up to two targets.
Dual wielding: 3d6+12 (22.5) total damage, up to three targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action.
Verdict: Dual wielding is mildly inferior.

Fighter level 11
Great weapon: 6d6+18 (39) total damage, up to three targets.
Dual wielding: 4d6+20 (34) total damage, up to four targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action.
Verdict: Dual wielding is notably inferior.

Your fix
Fighter level 1
Great weapon: 2d6+4 (11) total damage, one target.
Dual wielding: 2d8+6 (15) total damage, up to two targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action. Opportunity attack deals 5 extra damage.
Verdict: Dual wielding is vastly superior.

Fighter level 5
Great weapon: 4d6+10 (24) total damage, up to two targets.
Dual wielding: 3d8+12 (25.5) total damage, up to three targets, has auxiliary benefits, opportunity attack deals 6 extra damage.
Verdict: Dual wielding is vastly superior. (In every way, since there is no longer a drawback.)

Fighter level 11
Great weapon: 6d6+18 (39) total damage, up to three targets.
Dual wielding: 4d8+20 (38) total damage, up to four targets, has auxiliary benefits, opportunity attack deals 7 extra damage.
Verdict: Dual wielding is mildly superior.

My fix
Fighter level 1
Great weapon: 2d6+4 (11) total damage, one target.
Dual wielding: 2d8+3 (12) total damage, up to two targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action.
Verdict: Balanced

Fighter level 5
Great weapon: 4d6+10 (24) total damage, up to two targets.
Dual wielding: 4d8+8 (26) total damage, up to four targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action.
Verdict: Balanced.

Fighter level 11
Great weapon: 6d6+18 (39) total damage, up to three targets.
Dual wielding: 6d8+15 (42) total damage, up to six targets, has auxiliary benefits, but costs a bonus action.
Verdict: Balanced.

As you can see, your version seems to be less balanced than the vanilla, albeit in the opposite direction. I admit that my fighter-centric thinking might lead to faulty judgement on my own fix, but it shouldn't matter on yours, since the bonus-action-less version is equally superior for all classes that get Extra Attack. Great weapons don't have better feat support anymore either, since you (rightfully) removed the -5/+10 part of Great Weapon Master.

So what am I missing? It seems pretty clear cut to me. There's probably some unconscious bias in play (e.g. I like X weapon and care more about that one being viable), but I'm trying to be objective.

[Kane0]

I'm not sure if this is asking for feedback or just listing them for reference, but I have some thoughts about it either way.

I had to recreate my previous thread which went over the character limit and I stupidly didn't reserve extra space for myself. This also allows me to consolidate the separate threads I had for my class reworks and just put them all here. Any feedback is always welcome, that's why I put it up!



Have you used this one in action before? If so, let me know how it went. I'd love to get rid of the awkward short-rest / long-rest dynamic, but I'm pretty afraid of fighters using Action Surge three times and trivialising a major encounter.

Yes I have. It's an option for players that like the ability to nova and don't want classes to ration for them, usually monks and warlocks in my experience. It's really only visible if the DM throws fewer encounters at the party over an adventuring day where they begin to compare much more favorably against paladins, sorcs, etc that can unload everything they have. Clerics, Druids and Fighters also get some extra breathing room out of it but it's not as drastic a change as Monks and Warlocks.



I've seen people use this fix before and I don't get it. It doesn't solve the problem. Dual-wielding still falls behind in damage, and getting your bonus action back is only situationally useful.

Yeah, that seems to fit. Might conflict with GoOlocks but they would have Will save prof already anyways.



The rest looks good. I like your list of downtime activities.

Cheers!


Okay so having had a whole afternoon to crunch numbers, I came up with this. I took your idea of assuming the GWF style is +1 damage for easier calcs, though I noticed that since you move the non-light weapons to the fighting style it doubles up with the feat. I chose 3 rounds of attacks, using the first to enter rage or start up hunter's mark for barbarians and rangers respectively.
I completely forgot about monks though, my bad.

http://i.imgur.com/GjkKaIB.jpg


From what I see on it:
- At level 2 TWF stronger across the board.
- At level 6 stock TWF falls behind PAM, as do your changes. My changes keep TWF ahead of PAM, probably too much
- At level 12 stock TWF is still behind, and your changes are on par with PAM. My changes stay significantly ahead, definitely too much
- At level 20 the trend continues. Stock is behind, you remain on par and I'm overtuned
- My changes grant an advantage in both damage output and action usage, so I'll be looking into ways to bring it back into line
- With your changes you have to have to land more hits to do the same damage as PAM, which hurts the numbers once we take accuracy into account

I'm thinking taking out the +prof to damage part of the feat as it just isn't needed, and probably restricting weapon choice to light weapons as well. Move the off hand attack on OA to the feat and non-light weapons into the fighting style, should even things out a bit.

Edit: And move the extra attack synergy to the feat too, replacing the +1 Dex or +1 AC (or both).

And thankyou very much for the input, it's not often one gets a breakdown like that.

[Lalliman]

I noticed that since you move the non-light weapons to the fighting style it doubles up with the feat.
The dual wielding feat that I'm currently testing gives you an opportunity attack when someone misses you with a melee attack, to represent parrying with one weapon and riposting with the other. I didn't bring it up though, because I don't know yet if it's balanced. Looking at the numbers you've laid out, it might be too powerful, though it costs your reaction and requires a condition that won't always be met, so it's hard to say.


I completely forgot about monks though, my bad.
Monks are a tough one, I don't think they should be getting the benefit of your bonus-actionless TWF at all. Martial Arts is meant to be a replacement for TWF, just like Flurry of Blows was in 3rd edition. Allowing them to TWF at level 5 and still get their Martial Arts attacks would be a major power boost at no cost. The monk could certainly use a bit of a boost, but not like this; it's before level 5 that they're the most underwhelming in my experience, since they don't have their most powerful feature (Stunning Strike) yet.

Dual short swords would also be a definitively better pick than the highly thematic quarterstaff, which is a shame.


~Spreadsheet~
Now this is interesting. Good call measuring three rounds of attacks. That's about as long as a simple fight would take, so seems properly representative. It seems that you incorrectly gave paladins the benefit of Two Weapon Fighting Style, which they don't have access to. But that's fine for the sake of comparison; a dual wielding paladin would probably dip fighter to get the fighting style anyways.


- With your changes you have to have to land more hits to do the same damage as PAM, which hurts the numbers once we take accuracy into account
I'm not sure if that's how it works. If you have a 50% hit chance and you deal 50 damage with one attack, you deal an average of 50*0.5= 25 DPR. If you make two 25 damage attacks, you still deal 25*0.5*2= 25 DPR. Likewise, if you have only a 20% hit chance, one 50 damage attack deals 50*0.2= 10 DPR, and two 25 damage attacks deal 25*0.2*2= 10 DPR. As long as the hit chance is the same, the amount of attacks that the damage is split into shouldn't alter your performance.


I'm thinking taking out the +prof to damage part of the feat as it just isn't needed, and probably restricting weapon choice to light weapons as well. Move the off hand attack on OA to the feat and non-light weapons into the fighting style, should even things out a bit.
Edit: And move the extra attack synergy to the feat too, replacing the +1 Dex or +1 AC (or both).
I don't have enough brain capacity left to sort out the math again, but this sounds good. I definitely endorse putting the ability to use non-light weapons in the fighting style. The unfortunate thing about vanilla is that only fighters and rangers can get the off-hand damage bonus, but anyone can dual-wield non-light weapons with the feat. Thus, you get rogues who dual-wield rapiers but aren't skilled enough to apply the off-hand damage bonus, which is the opposite of what you'd expect. If you restrict non-light weapons to the fighting style, you get fighters who wield rapiers, longswords, etc. and rogues who stick to daggers and shortswords, as it should be.


And thankyou very much for the input, it's not often one gets a breakdown like that.
I'm glad that you too can appreciate some good number crunching!

Well, you can compare to the Hunter Ranger Giant Killer feature which is very similar. Being missed by a melee attack while you are in melee sounds like it would be pretty common, every round or two I'd guess. Your no-stat-to-damage would limit its effective damage increase though, which is a balancing factor
Personally I wouldn't use it, mostly due to my personal cognitive dissonance of adventurers doing this against things that aren't man sized and wielding weapons, which is quite common in D&D.



Monks are a tough one, I don't think they should be getting the benefit of your bonus-actionless TWF at all. Martial Arts is meant to be a replacement for TWF, just like Flurry of Blows was in 3rd edition.

Dual short swords would also be a definitively better pick than the highly thematic quarterstaff, which is a shame.

Well if we take out the freeing up of BA of the base rules and put it into the feat should fix this, monks already get the best options regarding number of attacks pre level 5. The stunning strike one trick pony is another bugbear I will have to tackle at some point.



Now this is interesting. Good call measuring three rounds of attacks. That's about as long as a simple fight would take, so seems properly representative. It seems that you incorrectly gave paladins the benefit of Two Weapon Fighting Style, which they don't have access to. But that's fine for the sake of comparison; a dual wielding paladin would probably dip fighter to get the fighting style anyways.

Gah, I've been allowing all weapon based styles across all classes for so long I literally forgot which class is restricted to what in the PHB.



I'm not sure if that's how it works. If you have a 50% hit chance and you deal 50 damage with one attack, you deal an average of 50*0.5= 25 DPR. If you make two 25 damage attacks, you still deal 25*0.5*2= 25 DPR. Likewise, if you have only a 20% hit chance, one 50 damage attack deals 50*0.2= 10 DPR, and two 25 damage attacks deal 25*0.2*2= 10 DPR. As long as the hit chance is the same, the amount of attacks that the damage is split into shouldn't alter your performance.

Brain fart, you are right of course. That may vary over the relatively small sample sizes of your average combat, but the sheer number of attack rolls you could rack up still seems a bit excessive, plus having to track which ones add stat and which ones don't. Not to mention adding riders changes the numbers much more drastically.



I don't have enough brain capacity left to sort out the math again, but this sounds good. I definitely endorse putting the ability to use non-light weapons in the fighting style. The unfortunate thing about vanilla is that only fighters and rangers can get the off-hand damage bonus, but anyone can dual-wield non-light weapons with the feat.

Will edit in a screenshot comparing with v2 TWF shortly.

I'm glad that you too can appreciate some good number crunching!
I started my homebrewing back in 3rd ed, sort of a requirement to have a decent head for numbers :smalltongue:

[pagnabros]

Ok so, first of all I want to say to you that we have a similar mindset regarding of houserules becasue a lot of your proposals, especially about general rules, are very similar to the first version of my houserules, which were much more gamechanging than the actual version I recently posted on the forum. The removed bonus action on TWF, the reduction of skills, advantage & disadvantage cancelling on a 1:1 basis, Critical Hits, Death & Dying and Saving throws rules were pretty much identical. I noticed that both of us have a strong legacy toward 3E D&D and Pathfinder, since that would explain a lot of the similaries.

Based on my own experience (so yours may vary a lot), after several campaign and extensive testing (not virtual or theorycrafting but for real, playing sessions at the table) I returned back to RAW for all the rules I precedently list. The reasons are multiple, but maybe the most important is because I realized that I have given 5th edition's developers much less trust and credit than they deserve. At a practical level, many of their RAW work at the table, even if they don't seems at a theorical level, and they are pretty much consistent. Changing somenthing have serious repercussions on the entire system, repercussions often not noticed at first. For example, I thought the removal of the bonus action to be a "common houserules" found online with not seriously backfires besides a buff to the ranger class (I can finally cast hunter's mark and make a second attack on my first round). Then, my players at 3rd comes with a monk that make 4 attack rolls (5 with a 1 ki) and always use two shortswords instead that making unarmed strike, a barbarian berserker that makes 3 attack rolls (one for the berserker class feature, one for the TWF and one normally) and piece of cake a rogue that now attack two times, almost always hit with at least one of his attacks and deals sneak attack, and then run disengage away from melee, and do it all the ****ing time with zero costs and no tactical choice at all (before she needed to think if she wanted to make two attack rolls or diseangage).

So my most important piece of advice I can give you is: test your modifications, and test them A LOT across all the different tiers of play, because you will never know which "side effects" they will generate and if you are okay with all of them.

To conclude, I have found very helpful to change some of the spells or class features to target Intelligence and Charisma saving throws instead of Wisdom really beneficial for the "feel" of the game, without the need for unificated saves. The idea of 6 saving throws IMO was good, since it opens up a lot of potential variations with NPC and monsters weaknesses, the fact that Charisma and Intelligence ones are very underused is the real problem.

Later I will examinate in depth the modifications you've made to the Ranger, since I think them to be one of the few exceptions in which the designers definitely fail.

[Kane0]

I'm happy to hear anything and everything you have to say :smallsmile:

[pagnabros]

Ok so regarding the ranger class:



Favored Enemy
Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, fey, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively you can choose one bloodrace of humanoids (bluebloods, greenbloods or redbloods).
You have advantage on Wisdom and Intelligence checks when dealing with your favored enemies and learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies.

I would simple let a player choose humanoids as favored enemies, since it's almost a ribbon class feature and doesn't need to be more complicate. It would be nice to have the option to switch the favored enemy, once per long rest for example.



Keen Eye
At 1st level, you can take the Search action as a bonus action.

Not a bad addiction per se, but I would prefer somenthing more "juice".



Natural Explorer
At 1st level, you gain the following benefits:
- Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.
- You can pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns or similar hazards.
- 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.
- You remain alert to danger even while foraging, navigating or tracking


Maybe adding these to the favored terrain double proficiency as for RAW?



Fighting Style
At 2nd level, choose one fighting style from the following: Archery, Dueling, Hand-and-a-half, Polearms, Thrown, Two-Weapon Fighting
Hand-and-a-Half: You gain a +1 to attack and damage rolls when wielding a Versatile weapon in two hands
Polearms: When wielding a Reach weapon your reach is treated as difficult terrain for enemies
Thrown: you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a thrown weapon attack
Two-Weapon Fighting: You can add your ability modifier to the damage of your off hand attack


The new fighting styles seem nice and balanced, well done!



Spellcasting
- Wisdom based
- Spells prepared (half level + wis) from the ranger list (minus Hunter's Mark and plus Elemental Weapon)
- Recover on a Long Rest
- No ritual casting


I also apply these modifications on my own verion of the ranger so I approve.



Hunter's Mark
At 2nd level, as a bonus action you can choose one creature you can see. For the next minute you can add an extra 1d4 to your attack and weapon damage rolls against that creature. Once you use this ability you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Hunter's Mark twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.

In my opinion, the hunter mark as a spell is ok RAW if the ranger is a prepared caster, except maybe that the damage could scale a little.



Primal Awareness
By concentrating for one minute, as if casting a spell, you can sense the presense of your favored enemies.
This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their number, and the creatures’ general direction and distance up to one mile away from you. If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

I hate this class feature but you made it at least tollerable, so good job!



Natural Gift
At 5th level, you gain Expertise in one skill you are proficient in and increase your movement speed by 5 feet.

I would leave Expertise to Bard and Rogue and came up with a more unique class feature for the Ranger.



Greater Favored Enemy
At 6th level, you gain a second type of favored enemy: celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals or fiends. You can also change one of your favored enemy types to another at the end of a long rest. If you choose to change Favored Enemies in this manner the languages you know do not change.
Additionally, you gain advantage on saving throws against spells and abilities used by a favored enemy.

I would make favored enemy changeable already at 1st level, and maybe improved it to be on short rest now.



Healing Salves
At 10th level, as part of a long rest you can prepare a number of medicinal salves and poultices equal to your wisdom modifier, minimum 1. As an action you can apply a salve to a creature within reach to heal 3d6 plus your Wisdom modifier HP or to grant a saving throw advantage against a poison or disease the recipient is suffering from. Unused salves expire if they are not used before your next long rest.

It came out too late IMO, maybe as a replacement to the Natural Gift class feature?



Primal Step
At 14th level, spells and magical effects cannot reduce your speed and you gain advantage on saving throws against being Paralyzed, Restrained or Stunned.

Nothing spectacular here but it can be effictive and useful. However I think that you have given your ranger too much "passive" class feature, and it need to be more exciting "gameplaywise".



Master of the Wild
At level 20 you increase your Strength, Dexterity, Constitution and Wisdom scores and maximums by 2
Additionally, your Hunter's Mark die increases from 1d4 to 1d6

I don't like it. As I already said before, I would prefer an "active" class feature or a more interactive one instead of another passive buff.

I would simple let a player choose humanoids as favored enemies, since it's almost a ribbon class feature and doesn't need to be more complicate.
It would be nice to have the option to switch the favored enemy, once per long rest for example.
Not a bad addiction per se, but I would prefer somenthing more "juice".
Maybe adding these to the favored terrain double proficiency as for RAW?

I just can't justify it at level 1. At this level you get three powerful but situational features (advantage on all Int and Wis checks vs limited creature selection, bonus action Perception/Investigation checks and ignore natural difficult terrain/advantage vs plants). If you pick redblood then you get advantage on all Arcana, Insight, Investigation, Lore, Medicine, Perception and Survival against pretty much all 'people'.



In my opinion, the hunter mark as a spell is ok RAW if the ranger is a prepared caster, except maybe that the damage could scale a little.

I agree that the spell is fine, but I wanted the design space. The target selection and damage could be played with by subclasses and the tracking ribbon could be moved to a core ranger feature (I actually split the functionality between the three level 1 features).
As a side note my concept for the ranger's niche was if the Rogue hides, the Ranger seeks and if the Paladin can use magic to throw around big damage the Ranger can use it for accuracy.

I was torn on what to do, I wanted the Ranger to pick up a little skill flexibility ala Rogue, Bard and Knowledge Cleric but also some focus on movement as seen in Monk, Barbariand and other ranger features. I cut it down the middle for a bit of both. I'd gladly take suggestions!

I think that would push the Ranger a bit too far into dominance of the interaction pillar considering what you could do with it, especially dipping or MCing.

It was originally at level 6, but Greater Favored enemy was more important to fit in. Don't want to wait until Tier 3 play to be able to update your FEs, Tier 2 was the sweet spot.

Indeed, perhaps too many passives. I was using Pally as a yardstick, and they get 6 actives / 6 passives against the rangers current 4 / 8 split (not counting ASI, Extra attack and subclass).
Notably, all but one of those actives are in levels 1-3 for paladin. Any ideas on this?

The most advice I can give is to look at the community ranger subreddit at this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD5CommunityRanger

There you will find tons of revisions and discussions about the ranger class, and you can also submit your ranger looking for improvements!

I really like a lot of the changes you made. I will probably steal a bunch of this for my own game (with notes of where I got it of course).

Bump for update, new Artificer UA has me tinkering again. Cleaned up some other bits and pieces as well, with some choice bits of content from other playgrounders on the backburner (credited right at the top).

I love this thread. So. Much.

Is it OK if I ask you what problems you are solving with some of these Houserules, since I don't have much experience in 5e, and would like to avoid some of the unnecessary hurdles?

[Kane0]

By all means! It's a mixture of corrections and improvements, are there any parts in particular you wanted to focus on?

[Bjarkmundur]

Regaining Hit Die
Was regaining half your expended hit dice problematic in some way?


Extra Attack:*When you take the Attack action you can attack twice instead of once. If you already have the Extra Attack feature you instead gain +1 to an attribute of your choice.


I see Extra Attack tweak all over the place in your post, but I don't understand what it changes. Does the same PC usually get multiple Extra Attack features?

Patron Bonus Spell
Did you feel the warlock needed more versatility and spells known?

Feats
There are a lot of fixed feats here, and I love them all. Is there a particular reason why I should use the fixes? How do you think the fixed feats change the overall experience? Was the idea to give more of an incentive to take a feat at levels 4 and 8? I pretty much have a question for each of the feats, so maybe you could just give me overall design goal for the whole idea of fixing the feats.

Long Rest Hit Die gain: For the times my table plays 'long games' it is a small but significant change. You don't notice it for most campaigns and definitely over oneshots and the like, but for extended play that extra LR or two you need to recover can make quite a bit of difference.

Extra Attack half ASI: I noticed a distinct pattern in my players (and myself) to avoid 5 or more levels in multiple martial classes even when it would make sense for the character in question, primarily because if you double up on this ability normally you get nothing resulting in a dead level. So I just gave +1 to a stat when you would normally double up on Extra Attack so it didn't feel so empty and viola, we considered those builds again

Warlock Patron Spells: I'm biased towards Warlocks. Sorry, I'm only human. A few extra spells known up your sleeve is just more fun and so far hasn't been a major enough boost in raw power for us to consider getting rid of. Besides, it's half as good as the bonus spells granted by Cleric Domain, Paladin Oath, Druid Circle, etc

Feats: There is no reason to use anything for any reason beyond 'I want to', but I tried to make feats a bit more fair and equal between the three pillars (exploration, interaction, combat) and between each other within those pillars while removing outliers that mess with the math like -5/+10. Some ended up needing to be changed based on other changes I made, such as Resilient with the swap back to 3.PF style Fort/Ref/Will saves. I took a bit of inspiration from various youtube and forum lists of 'best and worst feats/spells' to start off with then expanded from there.
