Talk:Sceptile (5e Race)

Musicus Meter Score: 7

This race has a score of 7 according to the Musicus Meter race guidelines. With this metric, first-party races' scores range from 4.5 to 8. This is a guideline, not a rule, and it's important to use your own judgment alongside this scoring.

This scoring may be the groundwork for a focused {{needsbalance}} usage. A contributor to this page may request a detailed breakdown of this page's balance. Without this information, {{needsbalance}} may then be removed. This meter cannot be the sole basis for a needsbalance template, but may be included as an accessory to a wider discussion of a race's balance.

This template should only be placed on a race's talk page. If this template is not placed on the talk page, please move it.

Musicus is still being used!? Let me see what this scores on the revised Marasmusine meter.

• Ability Scores (0)
• Darkvision (0.5)
• Leaf Blade (0.33) - As this is specifically an unarmed strike, it is useful for a low-level monk. For other classes, it is not particularly useful (the equivalent of a scimitar you can't two-weapon with)
• Gecko Pads (0.33)
• Aloof Glare (0.33) - skill proficiency
• Leafy Cover (0.5) - skill advantage, the usefulness of which is highly campaign-dependent (you might never be in a forest, or in the forest all the time)
• Language (0.25)

Total = 2.25

This is within the target range of 2 to 3. Marasmusine (talk) 06:51, 18 July 2019 (MDT)
