Martial Archtype: Kensai

[L Space]

Fair enough. I'd really like to do a test run of this class sometime, though I am currently DMing an adventure and everyone already has characters, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it. But if I get the chance too, I'll let you know how it goes.

This looks great! Saved.

You know what would be awesome for this?

Variant Human
Magic Initiate Feat: Warlock

Booming Blade, Greenflame Blade, Armor of Agathys

Personally, I think it's fine. The martial archetype capstones in the PHB are all quite limited - up to 30d6/turn* extra damage is more powerful overall, but limited by its ki cost.

* Assuming Full Attack (4x2d6), Bonus Attack (2d6), Haste (2d6), Action Surge (4x2d6), Time Stands Still (5x2d6).

Quick question, What does this mean?

I totally forgot: if anyone wants a wants a pdf for this, Submortimer and I made one. There might be a few small differences between these two versions, which will be placed in the changelog in the blog post.

Time Stands Still is one of the Kensai Manoeuvres. That calculation predates some tweaks Submortimer made; you should probably ignore it. If I'm remembering rightly, it also wasn't 100% correct at the time of writing either.

You should consider renaming "Bastard Sword Mastery" to "Versatile Weapon Mastery". Considering it applies to all versatile weapons.

I've recently started a game where I play a monk studying under a higher level NPC Kensai. Hopefully she will participate in the game and I can give you some good feedback!
