Posted May 12, 2022Gotta say, looking over it. It seems decently Balanced, though you are missing the ASI's. Even if you go with the Tasha's Bonuses, it should be specified. And is shocking touch a unique ability? If so, you didn't put the calculation (Whether it is a saving throw, or an attack roll) If it is simply shocking grasp, then there is no need for limiting its use. If it is a unique ability, you should set that up. My personal opinion, since I think it'd be unique is if its "Shocking Touch" was actually just a natural weapon that deals lightning damage
