Talk:Sentient Magic Item (5e Race)

So I have a few notes about this homebrew. But before I start, I want to say that I love the flavor, and the base ideas are solid. I'm mainly focusing on the item types, so I will be dividing this into sections. First:

Shield The item form is good, but I think it could use a little more utility. because you are sacrificing the ability to attack for being harder to hit, it probably won't be used mid-combat as much, but more as an engagement tool. So why not give the base item form +5 speed (maybe 10 but that sounds like too much for balancing reasons.) and maybe give the level 5 upgrade an ability similar to the minotaurs, ---

        Goring Rush. Immediately after you use the Dash action on your turn and move at least 20 feet, you can make one melee attack with your horns as a             bonus action.

---

Next I want to address:

Tool I like the ideas put down for this, but it feels kind of restricting flavor wise. plus it lacks the level 5 upgrade that the other types have.

I think having to choose one of the tool sets from the game feels kind of restricting especially if you dont know what those kits include. Even if it is an optional ability, I might change it so that you instead chose 1 skill to gain proficency in when choosing this type, then at level 5, the prficency turns into an expertise. and you could add an option similar to the origins where instead of choosing a pre-written option you could choose 1 cantrip decded on between you and the DM. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AhYesBread (talk • contribs) .
