Change bonus feature on Paladin Reckoning Path

Post by Helsing »

Reckoning's lvl 16 and lvl 26 bonus feature is kinda anti-synergy:

16th: biteback damage on get hit. VS 26th: +2 AC on divine shield while equip shield && holy sword -2 AB to enemy on hit

One requires get hit to work while another makes it hard to get hit.

Suggestion:
-----------------
Change 26th feature to:

1) Divine Shield's extra AC changes to: remove AC bonus on Divine Shield, instead Divine Shield get extra DR based on CHA modifier.

2) Holy sword -2 AB on hit changes to: Holy sword hits put a Mark on enemy if failed a save, double the biteback damage they received.

Rejected at this time.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
