In Need of a Opinion 8: Sword Dancer Revisited
Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2021 4:23 am
Over I had been working on the games main combat mechanics, but I've kind of hit a bit of a dead end not know what mechanic I need to work on or if some of the current one need to be changed. Since no other ideas of what to work on was coming up I decided to dust off the older version of the sword dancer and tried to up date it to my current mechanics and I've reworked it a bit. Even using one of Irennan previous responses about the built in spellsong mechanic and built it in to the class from the very beginning like he suggested back then. In a way it kind of turned it into the bardic music feature for the class. Every effect of spellsong has one the can be popped off with just a single singer, but it does still have the add more people to get more effect. I feel the need to mention several of the classes lower level unique ability feel a bit under powered or just lack luster, the silver dancer's protection comes to mind. There is one important not I have to throw out related to the Divine blade feature The levels in which each +1 value become accessible corresponds with the level I feel a character should be able to obtain a magical weapon at the indicated enhancement bonus and not break the game +1 at level 3, +2 at level 6, +3 at level 9, +4 at level 12, and +5 at level 15. However, I'm not sure that placing the Dancing weapon property feature at level 18 was mechanically the best choice. What I mean by that is, a magical weapon property is (at least mechanically speaking) equivalent to a +1 enhancement bonus. So a +1 keen longsword is equivalent in power to a +2 longsword. But that leads to a question, if a ability allows a class to replicate the effect of a magical property, where is the most mechanically balanced place to put it on their level chart? I'm not sure my current choice is the best answer.
