Played a game with my brothers, and my brother the crit machine just could not roll above a 1. He was mad. let’s fix this!
General
When you swing hard, you are at least guaranteed to get somewhere! When you roll damage for a critical hit and roll less than the maximum damage of a normal hit, increase the damage to the maximum damage of a normal hit.

I want some elemental flexibility and I also want to punch a goblin in the head!

Practice makes perfect. When you spend a hero point, instead of rerolling the die, you can instead add an untyped bonus equal to half your proficiency bonus.

General Skill
Prerequisites trained in Athletics or Acrobatics
You fly around the battle field as the attacks are fast and furious. Make stride once. At any time during this stride, make a melee or ranged attack at your current multi attack penalty.

I think detect magic should get a bit more love from the schools that can cast it. Let’s fix up the Arcane Senses feat a bit.
General Skill
Prerequisites expert in divine, occult, or primal
Magic bleeds from one tradition to another.. You can cast 1st-level detect magic at will as an innate spell. If you’re a legendary in a chosen skill, the spell is heightened to 3rd level
My brother is SUPER mad when he uses a heropoint and he fails. Let’s cushion that blow.
General
You’re a hero, so how can you miss!? When you fail a roll, use a hero point to reroll, and fail, you regain that hero point. You can not use this again for an hour in game time.

Building off the mountain stance.
Monk
Archetype Martial Artist*
Prerequisites Mountain Stance
Requirements You are in Mountain Stance.
* This archetype offers Rock Slide at a different level than displayed here.
You smash into a foe with the force of rock fall. Make a stride and then a melee attack using your mountain stance attack. If you hit, the target must make a Fortitude save. If it fails, the target moves a number of feet equal to half the distance you moved this turn, rounded down. On a critical failure, the target moves equal to the total distance you moved this turn. If you moved before using Rock Slide, add that distance to the total you moved this turn to calculate how far the target moves.
Special If you have this feat, while you are in Mountain Stance, you gain +2 status bonus to saves to avoid being forced to move or knocked prone.

It’s always only me, but I’m mad that monk weapons don’t track with level. Don’t get me wrong, you get bonuses, but I want damage that scales more. So stance time!
