Posted Jun 11, 2021Hey guys, so I am the creator of this subclass. Thanks for checking it out! It's my first one (of many hopefully) that I have put on d&d beyond. I'm still trying to figure out the website feature, so any advice and feedback would be great!
Here are some problems I'm not sure how to correct:
The later Inherited Weapon ability (+1/2/3 to attack and damage) calculates this bonus in the damage section, but not to hit.
Please let me know if you find any problems with this subclass. I hope you all enjoy it!
I am unable to figure out how to allow a player to choose the Inherited Weapon attack feature to be Ranged and not just Melee.
