So Daredevil is "Jackie Chan: the Class". It is use your environment as a weapon, throw anything within reach, and strike as often as you can to break your enemy, live on the edge. It is also the "opposite" of a caster, in that putting them in a confined space actually helps them. but it does rely on the GM to populate an environment well.

I find it amusing that daredevil is a class who literally gets worse when you put it in white room scenarios.

And because I am playtesting a daredevil, I am glad that I routinely search the internet for battlemaps that that have terrain and other features on them. My players want more than a featureless plain.

Hm, would a low stone wall count as a Prop (a terrain feature to throw an enemy against for damage)? I can't ask the GM because I am the GM.

Due to the backstory of my playtest daredevil Kittyhawk, she is going to be a Snarecrafter. So she might use Forceful Kickoff Stunt to shove opponents into her snares rather than into Props.

My immediate, off the dome impression is that the GM should lean toward generosity when it comes to the presence of props. It looks like banging enemies off props is where daredevil gets its damage steroid, akin to rogue's Sneak Attack or investigator's Studied Strike, and both of those classes have ways to set those circumstances up that daredevil doesn't appear to have, at least as far as I've seen.

Okay, I have a slayer concept. not ancestry specific, maybe the tombborn background. They were raised to put the dead down, but not out of hatred for them, out of pity. if possible they are to easy the dead to rest, but if necessary (the undead are violent), yes, they are to destroy them. Using the Consecrated Panoply and hunting spikes. and their starting trophy is a strange ethereal scarf... a memento from the being who trained her, the ghost of her father, who upon realizing she was grown and ready to go out into the world, completed his unfinished business and rested.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I kept thinking of Drunken Master and Rush Hour while reading the daredevil class
