Echo Knight is tempting to take because it serves a lot of story purposes, allowing Alex to make decoys or distract people with what they THINK is him, however, Echoes rely heavily on the Bonus Action and Alex needs that to dash/disengage/hide. Translated to “world logic”, Alex can only do so much within six seconds and the way that I imagine this is closer to hit and run tactics. But it’s still my main consideration for a subclass.
On the other hand, the homebrew Gunslinger I linked has perfect synergy with Arcane Trickster with DEX and INT being the pump stats and trick shots being done with INT mod. Basically everything except for Tactician and Battle Medic. Mystic Gunner seems a bit redundant. Highwayman in particular looks cool.
The Blood Thief one I linked honestly seems a bit too Gary Stu-ish for Alex to take just based on the fact that at this point his stuff would now be “base” home brewing instead of “homebrewing as an addon” with Gunslinger, but maybe it could work for the villain or a minor antagonist.
>>57112132It matters because I do stats in my writing unlike everyone else, so I need both Alex and his Pokemon to be sufficiently powerful to take on the threats that I’m sending at him, especially when his enemy is a Hexblade.
