Hey guys,
Here is another attempt to balance things.
Trying to only use weapon damage and weapon damages /2 because it scales a lot better in my opinion.
If some weapons attack always deal 1D4 + modifier it means that the damages will always be the same, no matter if you use a dagger +0 or a longsword +3.
I also tried to balance things arround normal attacks, keeping in mind what we could do with a normal attack action.
Some may look a bit too powerfull though (exemple : an additionnal bonus action to block an ennemy's bonus action + reaction + -2 on a ST is probably a bit OP isn't it ?).
It looks a lot better to me, clearer, cleaner, scales better,... but I'm not sure it is better balanced than it was
Any comments about this ?
