5e blade mastery worth it

Ted 20 STR without feat:

If you instead multiclass with fighter and take the great weapon fighting style and the Great Weapon Master feat, then non-great weapons aren’t worth your time.

I think in my group I’ll limit GWM to one attack per turn at the most, same with Sharpshooter (which already has so many bonuses stacked on it it’s ridiculous). Mega Yahtzee Thread:Highest 39: PlumPie (#4,715) and brocker2001 (#6,130).Lowest 9: JoeltheWalrus (#312).

Sorry never got back to you on this. It was a bad design to begin with (huge static numbers) that went against the so called design philsophy of the designers, and it single handedly obsoletes most other feats. I think two-handed weapons is the worst choice without a feat.

A normal +2DEX ASI would give you +1 to AC, +1 to attack, and +1 to damage, without taking your reaction every turn. It’s nuts. I think your conclusion that the feat ‘breaks’ in conjunction with large to hit modifiers is about right. You also have advantage to repair or maintain them or prevent them from breaking, if that ever becomes an issue. You gain the following benefits: You become proficient with shortswords, longswords, scimitars, rapier, and greatswords, if you are not already.

But then they are no longer sneaky. Blade Ward will only affect physical damage from a weapon. In turn, you get +1 AC and can also draw and throw two throwing weapons every round, where the two other feats limit you to one.

I’m not going to go super nerdy on this one… this is Hipsters & Dragons remember! But that seems like the exact attack you could do on someone who is prone. I like the idea of a 1/Rest Inspiration use for an attack roll with the weapon. This is what I do.

You’re trying to compare a 5th level fighter to a 10th lvl fighter. I’d also heavily criticize your need to justify how “unbalanced” the feat is by quantifying how powerful it can be. The greatest asset of Great Weapon Master probably is the flexibility: If you know or suspect that your foe has many hit points, but low AC, go for the -5/+10.

There are three feats that the vast majority of Dungeon Masters consider broken, according to this survey by Think DM. ©2020 D&D Beyond | All Rights Reserved | Powered by Fandom Games. Pump str to get power strike to 10.

Which has always kind of bugged me, because by and large dropping "feat tax" was a major design element of 5E, and its odd to see a feat that really doesn't do much cool other than making your math better.

I like craft beer, vintage clothes, street festivals... and playing Dungeons & Dragons. Of course, you can always just throw tougher and tougher enemies at the party to compensate, but part of the problem is that maybe not every party member is min/maxed so much. 5. As for the second part, here are my suggestions…. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. The simplest way to fix the problematic part of this feat would be to keep the same risk, but reduce the reward. Thanks for the comment. So I would simply substitute the +10, for 2d6 extra damage, which is a) more fun and b) a bit less powerful, ie. But when you have a situation spell, you need to keep that specific situation in mind so you can use it. what would you do to represent a very finely crafted but non-magical weapon? Then it’s fine. Those strength points are significantly more versatile. I’m super new to DnD, so I’m not really sure how to evaluate it. Or ask around big cities. Find out what you can do. If they take Medium Armor Master and gain Half-Plate then they'll have an AC 18.

I think the most plausible nerf would be to say that you can only do this ability once per round, like the Rogue’s sneak attack.

Monk is an especially bad fit, as Monk needs 20 Dex/Wisdom as soon as you can manage, and every feat you don't take either is one more damage/attack to your martial arts, or one more AC to your Unarmored Defense/DCs.

Luckily, Blade Ward is a Cantrip that requires no materials to cast! I just give out a weapon made of a material that can bypass some damage reduction, like a silvered weapon or adamantine. In such cases the damage output of great weapon fighting over sword and board improves by a much larger proportion than even a magical shield could hope to. The DBS with Revenant Blade is significantly better than Dual Wielder or TWF alone, but not as good as their combination. when you get critical hits) you will be doing 16.67, which will bring the average up some more. I have yet to use GWM, much, so I can’t attest to its brokenness, much, but when you factor in the damage of the rogue’s sneak attack, the high damage of single target spells, GWM might actually be necessary to balance the scales.

Are there any front-line fighters who don’t take it? With his -5 penalty, Ted now has a hit bonus of +5, meaning he needs a 10 to hit AC 15 (55% chance), and with advantage (79.75%). I’d be willing to bet more than 75% of all fighters have taken this feat. The worst fighting style is for two-handed weapons. No penalty to hit.

The formula also takes into account critical rolls: c -> chance of a hit. This is perhaps the best way to keep GWM on the table as written, but preventing it from getting out of hand, as it would limit its use to once per turn. View wiki source for this page without editing. unless that +10 can be used literally anywhere, on any class at no reasonably tangible cost (which is only applicable to barbarians (kinda (if you have a fighter (if they decide to dedicate their feat for you (and your enemies have low ac anyway (and you have nothing between you and your target(s) (yes I’m aware you might’ve found this condescending))))))) it’s not unbalanced, you need to adapt as a DM. When making one of these attacks, you will use the same formula that I presented above for the Ranged Spell Attack.

Is a primarily melee Hexblade warlock worth it without Pact of the Blade?

Not every fighter is going to get the uber score of an 18. Though the damage per hit is smaller, you hit more often. For you. You master the shortsword, longsword, scimitar, rapier, and greatsword.

If you would hit with a roll of 8+ it would increase your damage output by 15%, on 6+ it would increase by 25%. Another is Sharp Shooter, which perhaps I’ll talk about another time. Or just glowing. I didn’t want to break down millions of examples with and without advantage etc., just wanted to glance at some situations regarding why most players think this feat is broken, as per this survey: https://thinkdm.org/2018/01/13/feat-strength-tiers/. Last … Even if it does “give them the ability to out-DPS the casters” it is still fine. On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action. Question about Blade Mastery. 20 dex. Only when you’ve snuck up on your opponent unseen, or they’re rolling about prone on the floor, do you have the time to put your full force into the blow and have any hope of hitting. Additionally, you’ve randomly given advantage one turn at level 10, but not at 5. View and manage file attachments for this page. Feats as a whole are optional in the first place, and like multiclassing, you shouldn’t use those mechanics if you aren’t comfortable in your ability to adapt to player problem-solving skills (Keen mind needs you to be near literally on top of your notes at any given moment, I’d set that as the bar to what feats are capable of). If you are casting this spell, odds are pretty good that your character leans towards the squishy end of the sturdy spectrum. The first of the two benefits raises few eyebrows… critical hits are pretty rare after all, as is reducing a creature to zero hit points. Ted has to a hit bonus of +5, meaning he needs a 12 to hit AC 17 (45% chance). It is now dealing fire damage!

Title, basically. Also every weapon with reach beside the whip is two handed, and if your defense is covered by clerics and you need more damage in your team, the dilemma is should i be a duel wielder with the duel wield feat and fighting style, or a great weapon fighter with great weapon fighting. I have used three things (individually, not together) to reflect masterwork properties in various weapons. There are exceptions when monsters will have so high AC that the use of -5 penalty will have negative consequences on your damage, but such instances are rare. His name is Ted. He does 2d6 + 6 (13) per hit. There are three feats that the vast majority of Dungeon Masters consider broken, according to this survey by Think DM. to have a specialty is very useful in certain specific situations? An additional 10 damage is massive. This feat provides a higher variance but more damaging option, at the expense of two strength.

It’s only really problematic when you have advantage. But if the Str 20 fighter with the +2 greatsword has GWM, then it definitely would appear broken because there’s really no cost to the fighter in exchange for the extra damage. Or just describe it as beautiful and worth more than a typical weapon? I also took a +5 damage modifier for the first scenario (light line), and +0 modifier for the second scenario (dark line).

I don’t really like the idea that a feat can increase your maximum damage output by 10 times the number of attacks you have. Monks typically need to use ASIs instead of getting a feat. I’m sorry, but really theres no reason to do any of this. One of them is Lucky, the only feat to get banned on my table and one which I discussed previously on this blog (and which in turn generated scores of conflicting comments, with many people rushing to its defense.
