    And here we have the subclass that finally adds the Luck stat and makes it SPECIAL.
    That's (S)TRength, (P)erception (WIS), (E)ndurance (CON), (C)HArisma, (I)NTelligence, (A)gility (DEX), and (L)uck for those who do not play Fallout.

    Honestly I feel like this is a perfect example of what homebrew should be. The design is a bit complicated, and probably not something that would ever wind up in a WotC book, but seems balanced and fun and fits an archetypal niche that the game doesn't really support right now

    when Lady Luck is smiling you, nothing can truly stop you in the game where the dice dictate the destinies, but while still being enamorated to the trill of the gamble seems to be dangerous the lovers of this class like to make the adventures an exiting adventure.
    Rolling dices to apeace the gods of destiny for a Tangle the lemur build seems unwise in my eyes, to get the best take of the ring-tail Lemuridae heroine i must trust Tulok, luck is a good thing to have in your side, but quality to disregard the bad posibilities, because there is none, is what i really love from his builds and subclasses he make.

    I’ve always wanted a gambler subclass in this game. I think that the ally in the level 3 feature should be able to make a Dexterity Saving throw to at least have a chance of avoiding the damage. That seems like it would cause more problems than it would solve, even with the doubled damage.

    • @dragoknight589
      @dragoknight589 3 года назад +6

      It should probably have a set DC, maybe DC 15. Also if that were the case, then barbarians, monks, and rogues would be very good allies for them. All of these classes like having high dexterity, and they either get Evasion or Danger Sense.

    • @Shalakor
      @Shalakor 3 года назад

      I mean, if the ally not getting to dodge it means the enemy doesn't get to, either, that may make it all worth it on its own if you're up against something dodgy.

      @@lucasm.3864 I meant high AC/high Dex. Don't have the text of the subclass to know how it works for sure, but was saying if it doesn't require a successful hit to deal the 2 inspiration die damage to the enemy, the 1 die damage to an ally might not be so bad to have a tool for whittling away at them if you're attack roles just aren't cutting it (such as d20s being unlucky that session, or a mage spamming Shield, or whatever).

  • @critter8132
    @critter8132 3 года назад

    I made a college of misdirection bard homebrew! Basically the reliable talent for sleight of hand, Prof in game kits, and magic playing cards which are the spellcasting focus and main weapon for attacking, melee they deal 1d4 slashing, ranged attack damage is the number on the playing card, but they don't get extra attack until lvl 14, but the gamblers table is depending on the suit you can expend a use of bardic inspiration to imbue the card with magic, Clubs deals extra damage and chance for prone, Diamonds boost AC, Hearts heal someone equal to 2 rolls of bard die, Spades allow the user to make an additional card attack as a bonus action and Joker is a free extra attack and a choice of any of the four other options. More features blah blah but made it for one of my players in a urban fantasy 80's Vegas game.

    I'd love to try this out, the risk reward is a great theme. I think the 1 level hexblade dip is a bit better than you think, wouldnt it allow you to use charmisa instead of dex, so you can just have +10 to attack if you have 20 charisma? From having 5 insparation dice and a +5 charisma modifier. Maybe I missed something on the wording. Still great design!

    • @thatnerdcalledzanni3957
      @thatnerdcalledzanni3957 3 года назад +2

      Yes that would be correct. + Proficiency Bonus and Archery if you use crossbow/guns, that makes a total of +18 without even being a magical weapon before any use of bending fate, at level 17. In case you find a Tome of Leadership and Influence to make your Charisma 22, then it becomes +20. If you have a magical weapon that is +3, then it becomes a +23 to hit.
      I'm not even counting that you can also apply Bless and similar buffs from your party on top of that, even. This subclass is borderline stupid at higher levels.
