can you update this for the Unearthed Arcana books?
Unearthed Arcana is playtest material and is thus not official. So this guide won't deal with that.

I don't think it is. Even with a greataxe, the Half-Orc is looking at a DPR boost of only 0.65 points (0.1*6.5) above the standard Champion. And even at Lv. 15, that's just 0.975 (0.15*6.5).A Half-Orc Champion would seem to have nice synergy between their improved critical rate and the extra crit damage die from the Savage Attacks racial. It might deserve a small mention in the Champion section. Also, Relentless Endurance + Survivor go well together. I understand that lack of on-demand burst remains a weakness, but might this pairing be good enough to rate Average instead of Substandard?
It does work like that, according to both Mearls and Crawford.Also, it seems to me (and maybe this is conventional wisdom and already factored in) that a Champion with Superior Critical always hits when they roll an 18 or 19, just like anyone does with a 20.
No.Maneuvewers question:
If I use Feinting attack, I'll get advance on the next attack and add superiority dice to damage in that attack. But can I add another maneuver which adds superiority dice to dmg and has two superiority dices to dmg in one attack then?
If I have critical hit (rolled 20), and choose sweeping attack - will I have 2 superiority dices for dmg on second target?
As I understood it - I use Feinting attack maneuver in the first attack. But benefit from this maneuver is showed in second attack which is a new attack with the possibility to use another maneuver.No.
