I will just mod human variant, either its ill intent to force people to do something else or pure incompetency from the Racial designer.
Just give the variant human instead of polearm proficiency and carry weight? The person is not even trying with these fixes.
Yeah to me it seems like they are trying...trying to get people to play any other race besides Human.
Yall are acting like polarm proficiency is nothing.
It let's human full casters still do decently in melee. And with all the sorter range spells and builds, it's a really good proficiency to have
Itd go really great with blade lock and blade bard builds.
The only classes who its usless on are full martial
No it doesn't? "Human full casters" almost certainly won't have anything higher than a 12 in Str (if they do, they'll have had to majorly sacrifice some other important stat) and thus will have low to-hit bonuses and damage with polearms. They'll also have low AC and HP, so being in melee isn't where they want to be.
In practically all scenarios it will be more effective for casters to use their spells, especially if they still have spell slots left (which should be ~every fight due to the lack of long resting restrictions).
The only benefit will be for Pact of the Blade Warlocks and this is only if Pact of the Blade doesn't natively get you access to martial weapons...does it?
You can run
14
10
14
And then run a 17 in your casting stat no issue while keeping the rest 10. If you take an 8 on one you can then take 15 str or con or pump ome into dex if you really want the +2 ac with medium armor.
Halberds give the cleave attack, which certainly can be usefull on fights with lots of mobs like the goblins attack on the grove, and will probably be even better in the harder difficulties where the ai will prioritized swarming squishies.
Abjuation/transmutation/necromancy builds focused on using spell slots for self buffing will naturally like them too, especially the weapons with the brace option so you can reroll damage dice and take the higher
And this isn't even considering the the special magic weapons, so of which are race locked
Pact of the blade doesn't seem to give proficiency
