dragon knight on being the battlefield leader let's get make those abilities slightly more potent because we are choosing to specialize and layer those on top i think rallying cry could straight up just be a healing word likeability and having that on our fighter might be pretty compelling pretty powerful as well if they did have an ability that did allow allies to take extra actions sounds powerful but maybe in a constrained way in the subclass it might be potent so i think that with all these abilities we could make them stronger than they are again maybe it's not that an ally that is hit by inspiring surge they could take a whole extra action powerful yes but probably within the bounds of what is appropriate for a very specialized spider subclass so i think that we could go a little bit further with this one and really make it that kind of battlefield leader that we all would love it to be in the flavor i do think that out of all the abilities royal envoy is kind of the weakest link here i do think that there's something interesting being advertised with it but out of all the ones that need a boost i think this should do more than just give you proficiency in persuasion again if we're talking about advertising charisma as one of the stats of a purple dragon knight allow this to maybe give you expertise and persuasion and maybe something else added on top of that that makes you the face of the party having your purple dragon knight be the the commander on the battlefield rallying the troops bringing the team together the sort of captain america of your team and then also allowing them to do the talking persuading and planning that is what i would like to see out of a purple dragon we could also give it a little bit more flexibility by perhaps creating one or two different types of rallying cries perhaps there is one that heals or grants temporary hit points there is another one that gives allies advantage on saving throws or lets them re-roll a save i think that the abilities that we want to choose here really need to focus on the inspirational type rallying rather than the tactician style and i think that if we focus on how an ins a commander can be inspiring rather than a tactician that would help to differentiate it from what the battle master gets moving on one of the other subclasses that got pretty scathing reviews from not only us but the community in general is the way of the four elements monk our main issue with the way of the four elements monk is that it is very costly to add your spells in and they don't really seem to gel that well with what the monk does at its core so when we look at the four elements monk we're going to make some drastic changes to kind of overhaul this subclass into what we think the theme was that they were going for this is a big change but bear with us on it instead of having the way of the four elements monk use their valuable key points to cast spells let's just have them have spell casting in the same way that an eldritch knight or an arcane trickster also has spell casting keyed to their wisdom score so you do get to double down on wisdom here i think that's generous and the monk subclasses in general need some help here i think that it probably warrants having a custom spell list rather than just saying you can choose any wizard evocation spell that might be fine for
