Balancing martials and casters is easy. All you have to do is sell your D&D books for Draw Steel books.
The Matt Colville approach
Draw Steel fixes this by naming its health resource stamina. You're using up your stamina avoiding and tanking hits. The tactician can inspire you to get your second wind.
What if an awkward person wants to have a power fantasy about being a smooth talker? What if they want to play a warlock or bard?
Well you're wrong. Nat 20 or nat 19 actually means you get to take another main action on the same turn, which can potentially also crit.
