Sheikah, Variant (5e Class)
 |
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: This class has several dead levels where to features are gained. In addition, some things are unclear/unexplained such as Activation and Minor Construction. For example, What is a guardian scout, is it a creature? If so it needs statistics. Also, how Activation works in DnD is not clear. The feature really should clearly explain what items/ect. other things it affects.
|
 |
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: In general this class deals too much damage, has great features at too low a level, and is generally too powerful. For example, sneak attack alone gives the class comparable damage to other martial classes, but in addition to that you gain extra attacks at a rate better than the fighter. For example, Teleportation and Cloning are also far too powerful and you gain those features at 1st level, ect. other issues.

This page needs grammatical help. Reason: This class has many wording issues ranging from problems with missing punctuation, incorrect capitalization(class names are not capitalized), and unclear features(as outlined above).

Sheikah
A half-orc stands alone in a grove, only the moon illuminate's the area around him. A rustle from behind draws the half-orcs attention and in the tree he sees a man wearing strange robes. The man doesn't make a noise even when he drops to the grass below. This is the man his tribe fears? He doesn't believe their stories, he will make quick work of him. The half-orc charges towards him and swings his Great axe towards the man. Just before it hits him the man disappears in a shower in red paper and appears behind the half-orc, he isn't alone. The half-orc swings around and sees not only the man but blue duplicates of the man as well, each of them holding a strange dagger. As the duplicates and the man charge toward the half-orc he lowers himself into a defensive stance nervously awaiting the first attack. As they pass him the half-orc kneels down and begins to bleed from multiple wounds in his chest. The half-orc looks up at the man "What are you". The man says nothing and with a final blow, kills the half-orc. He then disappears again in a shower of red paper and slips away into the night.
Leaders of a Forgotten people
