Struggling with OP PC
Hello everyone, I am a first time DM and am new to the SW5E system.
One of my players (who was full time DM in DnD5e) has made a Guardian build that relies on opportunity attacks, reactions and special reactions.
My party is a party of 6 people, all lvl 5. Whenever I throw any enemies their way, they quickly become dispatched by the guardian with the rest of the party doing either minimal damage or just healing the guardian.
The build is a combo of counterstrike mastery and makashi form.
He currently has 1 reaction and 2 possible special reactions per round at the moment (with 7th level giving him another reaction per round). And along with having an extra attack, he can do a total of 5 attacks per round with taking minimal damage through the effects of counterstrike mastery and makashi right now.
I don’t want to nerf him because the build (to my knowledge) seems legit, I don’t want to buff the enemies and make the rest of the PCs feel useless. It makes combat tough for me because I’m put in a weird situation trying to work with both sides.
Is there a way I can try to make it feel more balanced organically? Like I said I’m new to DMing and don’t exactly know how to approach this.
Sorry if the post is chaotic, this would be the first time I have made one! Thank you all!
