New AS&SH video- fighter subclass review
Thanks to a lot of feedback and messages from this community to help get this out.
I’ve actually gotten a lot of 5e players asking about ASSH.

Great job! I have shared it at our Twitter, Facebook, and MeWe pages. I think you have a great, upbeat delivery, and you make a point to familiarize yourself with each topic (and subtopic) before speaking. Cheers!

Good stuff!
I particularly love the Fighter Base Class that has Grand Mastery making them the most skilled of the Fighter types. The Cataphract is a great class with immunity to fear, inc AC in Heavy armor, and HONOR! The Honor ability is a role-play skill and may get glossed over but has the ability to get the character out of situations that fighting cannot.
I've never had the Paladin or Barbarian in actual play but the rest have all been fun.
Please keep doing these! The classes are one of the best things about the game from a coolness standpoint and tend to be forgotten behind the world setting.

And sweat at the daily round,
While in my soul forever
The drums of Pictdom sound?”

Yup: this and the solid old-school rules are why I use AS&SH in my own setting.
