Comments
My goal (especially with this Exploit) was to mimic the effects of the "Steel Wind Strike" spell. The spell was clearly designed to help Rangers out as a 5th-level (tier 4) spell but for some reason, the Wizard (?!) of all classes got access to it as well. The Fighter should really be able to do something comprable. Your option sounds like an idea for another (slightly different) interesting Exploit.

2021-08-05 14:20:32 +0000 UTCFor Strikes of Steel Wind, would it solve the scaling issue if it was attacks that you could normally make? If you tie it to the number of attacks you could make with the Attack action, it's always going to be worth it as long as the number of targets is equal to the number of attacks you can make. I'm sure there's a better way to phrase it, but something like "When you take the Attack action before you make an attack, you can expend an Exploit Die to make each attack against different targets within 30 feet." EDIT: You'd basically be paying an exploit die to lock in your position to make your attacks against different targets in range and teleport ~0-30 feet.
