D&D 5e Subclass Contest Chat Thread

[MoleMage]

If you don't know what class to give "punchy stuff" too, I would suggest maybe a barbarian subclass, since they always seemed a little lackluster for unarmed combat and such. Could be a lot of fun there.
Personally, I've decided to go for a monk-like, bar-brawling rogue who's an expert at starting and escaping bar brawls, with a cheese wheel and a cask of ale beneath each arm.

As for theVoidWatches' problem, I'd either limit it to once per turn to prevent monk multiclass shenanigans, or make it expend a use of bardic inspiration. Maybe expend a use of bardic inspiration when you make an attack to make your unarmed strikes deal damage equal to your bardic inspiration die for the rest of the turn? I don't know, just throwing out some ideas to help

I do think the level 3 feature should expend Inspiration rather than just key to its size. But making a basic attack routine rely on that expenditure might be too pricey (especially when Valor could get the same weapon die size for free with a Shortsword/Rapier/Longsword2h/Greataxe respectively).

Personally I think I'm going to do an Oath of the Sacred Fist. I need to find where I put those 3.5 materials to see if I want to borrow any of the Sacred Fist PrC.
