Preview: Rules for Heroic Characters!
Added 2022-05-11 17:40:52 +0000 UTCHey all, I wanted to preview something that I've been working on behind the scenes for a bit - rules for creating "heroic characters". AKA more powerful PC's. Here I've got two of the rules from the upcoming compendium: Heroic Saving Throws and Class Expertise!
Heroic Saving Throws: A throwback to editions past, this consolidates the six saving throws given in the Player's Handbook into three saving throws: Reflex, Fortitude, and Will. With this optional rule you'd pick which ability score influences which saving throw. For instance, when determining your Reflex save bonus, you could use your Dexterity or your Intelligence!
Class Expertise: Why is the Rogue better at Athletics than the Barbarian? Now, each class gets a skill (or a choice between two skills) that they are true masters of. Rogues and Bards will still get to apply their Expertise (and Reliable Talent) to skills of their choice, but now the Barbarian can be as strong as a Rogue!
As always, I love to hear what you guys think, so let me know in the comments.
