Hey guys so I have a twofold question here (and I apologize if part two should be in the homebrew section)
Would it break anything to allow TWF to work with a non light weapon plus a dagger?
I can see that it might be a ever so slight buff for rogues but otherwise 1d8 + 1d4 = avg damg 7 which is the same average as 2d6 anyway.
It just seems very odd to me that by RAW I have to pick up the dual wielder feat if I wanna do a d8 plus dagger combo, which is a pretty cool combat style and for those who care about such a thing a way more realistic way of TWFing than dual scimitars is fx.
It would also give TWF chars more diversity and a chance of adding some flavor, any feedback would be awesome.
Part 2 - I am the type of player who keeps on making chars even though I might never play them. On my list of 7+ contingency chars is a gruff greedy selfcentered dwarven rogue, a classic 'thug' rogue - however 5e has made sure that the Strength rogue is forced to use finesse weapons which is.. Not to my liking. Anyway I came up with a half feat (well I stole ideas from the internet) that would support the 'thug' rogue a bit, and id love some feedback on that as well.
Enforcer:
You know what you want and you always get it, be it through intimidation, cheap shots or brute force.
+ 1 strength or dex (your choice)
You can use sneak attack with non finesse weapons
You have advantage on intimidation checks against creatures with a lower strength score than your own.
Does it seem okay ? Anything broken I have missed? I guess the most broken part would be that it could be 'abused' by a player to get an idea about random NPCs/Monsters strength score, but that dosent seem like a major issue.
