Looking for suggestions on ACROBAT themed class feature


Homebrew and House Rules


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Here is the link to a class I posted awhile ago, the Fighter-Acrobat. Most of it is pretty cut and dry, so I'm not asking for input on that unless you really want to. I've finally come up with the concept for a 1st level, class defining feature called "Stunt", where the FA uses risky movement to gain a damage bonus. I'm currently on my fourth version of it, and am not confidant in the execution of it.

I want to balance the damage bonus with risk/reward movement and (except in special circumstances) losing the ability to make a full-attack. The earliest version was short and sweet, but I felt too easy to use in unintended ways. All suggestions within the concept are welcome, even if the basic mechanic is scrapped. I also want to steer clear of requiring a skill check, which is to say that if the FA wants to take a bunch of attacks instead of using skills checks or some other go-around, then she can still use the class feature.

Finally, the document is saved as a PDF using the Dropbox app.


I would really appreciate a perspective on this one class feature other than my own.


Honestly, just from perusing it, it looks solid. I like the general feel of the class as well as the fact that it uses established paradigms.

I don't see anything that really needs to be changed... if you want it to be able to make a full attack, while keeping the mobility, you may have to incorporate some sort of skill check.

It seems like a solid class, though for aesthetic stakes you might want to find change the name. Thought fighter-acrobat does work.

Hopefully some of this is helpful. Though while reading the document i could not seem to find "Attack on the run". I did find the advanced attack on the run, which i like the concept.


I like the setup of the page, i was wondering if you might know of a tutorial for publishing software?


Advanced Attack on the Run was supposed to be Advanced Hit and Run. Thanks for the catch, and the input on Stunt.

I know that the name fighter-acrobat isn't especially clever, but it is a reference to a class I was very interested in when I was younger - the rogue-acrobat. Also, I feel the name will give anyone a pretty good idea what they are getting into before they read it.

As for the layout, I use an ipad and paid for the Pages application. Amateur page layout is just something I have practiced for about 15 years, so I sadly I cannot recommend a good tutorial. I obsess over stupid little details until it looks the way I want it to.
