If the rogue has an ability at 11th level that allows them to not be able to roll under a 10 when making proficient skill checks, why not have the fighter the same thing, but with weapon attacks? Or what about a wizard spell attacks? I feel like those other two classes would have this ability because they dedicate a lot of time to their skill.

You can't kill anyone with a skill check but you can kill someone with a weapon or a spell. So you can't take 10 on those things because it has a bigger affect on balance.

That is not what I mean. I was proposing the fighter and wizard should have a similar ability because of their dedication to their main skills (magic for the wizard, and weapon mastery for the fighter).

To really state what I am thinking of, I am proposing that the fighter should have a similar ability at 11th level where the fighter’s attack rolls can’t go below 10 like the rogue can do so (but the rogue does so with proficient skills). I also propose that the wizard should be able to treat all rolls below 10 as a 10 when making any rolls to cast a spell with a d20 (at 11th lvl of course). Does that make sense? I feel like I can’t write what I want to say so this is my attempt at sharing my thoughts. Maybe this could be a variant of the official 5e dnd classes? What are your thoughts?

I feel like if the level requirement was higher (say around level 15~) then this could work. --Sowott (talk) 15:57, 15 October 2024 (MDT)

I liked this idea so much, I adapted it for Sword Scion, a subclass in the Hyrule campaign setting. It would probably be too strong at base, but its great in that you can adjust the minimum number by one or two to suit your needs. I also made an exception for critical fails, since those can happen with attacks but not necessarily with skills. Thanks for the great idea!
