Heya, I'm currently working on a homebrew race for a future campaign and wanted to get some feedback on what people might considered balanced for it.
At the moment it stands at "When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the creature. As long as your attack hits, you can use this feature only once per combat."
I had other thoughts if I should allow it to be used {{ proficiency }} times or {{ proficiency -1 }} times per long rest but without the "as long as your attack hits" caveat. Or else I was thinking of making it be something like a cantrip level up system, where you can use it once per LR at 1st level, 2 times per LR at 5th level, 3 times at 11th level, and 4 times at 17th level. These are just some of my ideas, but I'll appreciate any input. Thanks!
I think proficiency uses, with changing it from "As long as your attack hits, you can use this feature only once per combat." to "You can use this feature only once per combat." would make sense.
Ok, I can definitely give that a try. It sounds like a good middle ground and a good place to start. I can tweak it in the future if need be, so thanks!
