Not gonna lie, this looks terribly unbalanced unless heavy restrictions are in place.Ever heard of the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none?" If you want…

Strike the ground with my epic warhammer and send out a shockwaves that will strip the very flesh from my enemies bones in a 20ft radius?Honestly, this is what…

Not a fan of house rules that ban things that are officially allowed by the rules and don’t harm anyone else. It’s up to you to know what’s on your players she…
