A noob's attempt to give martials...spell like abilities

[ruby rock]

@little bay what do you think so far?

[little bay]

let me take a look

Seems simple and elegant

I like that the charges are just equal to your level

You might wanna make it a homebrewery doc instead to be readable

Bulwark: AC + DEX SAVE + Protect (Fighter, Barb)
what?

There's also this which helps with Google doc formatting.

Currently working on a rework to the martial system in my rebuild so I'll need to give this a look later 👀

[ruby rock]

Oh sorry- It just means that it grants AC and Bonus to dex saves

I kinda thought of it as a PC hugs another PC while lifting up their shield

[ruby rock]

I'll prolly try doing that in my laptop tomorrow

[ruby rock]

It's pretty messy and unfinished rn but yeah

[steep timber]

Also, due to the English thing, in case you don't know - newb = newbie. Noob = douche that knows as much as a newb, but thinks they know everything.

[little bay]

first time hearing that

[knotty moth]

I have never heard that, Noob is just "gamer newb" in my vocab

[ruby rock]

Oh I see

The martials yearn for spells

[ebon trellis]

Honestly it looks pretty good! Like it so far.

[ruby rock]

Thank you-

I kinda am trying to give all the martials a lots of stuff to play with and I'm struggling with what to give the Barb rn

[ebon trellis]

Barbs do be like that.

[knotty moth]

If you wanna look at another system that does stuff kinda like this, consider looking through Draw Steel

its a TTRPG similar to dnd but it has every class get a bunch of features like these

its also got reversed attrition where you get stronger the longer you fight, but so do enemies. Its a mechanic I stole for my own Barbarian rebuild as honestly that fits their vibe pretty well

[ruby rock]

But yeah I haven't play tested any of it and it's an idea. I would like to get help on how to fix and balance the things here

I tried asking my other discord friends for some help but they think that the maneuvers are too complicated

My irl friends however would love to have it cus they think martials are pretty boring

[ruby rock]

I'll try checking it out

[knotty moth]

actually lemme see...

Ok ye I think that's fine, had to double check if this was SRD or not

[ruby rock]

Ooooh

Now I'm getting more ideas for barbarian

[steel comet]

Didn't 4e basically do this too?

[knotty moth]

I think? Tho I am very uneducated on 4e

[steel comet]

Pretty sure there were no spells per se and everyone just had at will, daily, and encourter use powers.

But Colville has talked about using ideas from 4e previously so I'm not really surprised.

[steel comet]

Was there a question here?

[ruby rock]

oh i was asking about the background

i ended up just giving i a gray background
