D&D 5E What happened to Legend and Lore?

[Dwimmerlied]

Hahaha..."I thought we were supposed to be a team, Mike! You know?? You and me!! I thought we were going to spend all our time together! Where were you? I cooked a special dinner and slipped into something comfortable (my best computer chair) and waited. Hour after hour for YOU, Mike;- you! and you did'nt even msg me!"

And there won't be one tomorrow neither as per Trevor; : (

''It appears our kobold infestation has spread and Jon has jumped in to help Mike fight them off. In all seriousness though, I am sorry to say we won't have an L&L or DEV next week due to mounds of other D&D Next work being tackled.''

While I'd prefer an L&L that was slapdash to none at all, the eternal optimist in me takes this as a sign that we're going to see lots of interesting things in the next packet, and I can live with that.

No mate, I got it on the best authority that the kobolds have run away with WotC Stones of Creativity and now Mike is leading a crack team of errr... nerds through the sewers of Seatle and below combating who know what.
Unless they manage to retrieve the stones Mike and co will have to commit corporate seppuku and update their résumés.

I'm telling you man, it's the beginning of the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!1!!!11111111

Wait. This sounds like Shadowrun.

I figure its one of two things, major internal restructing or the next playtest packet is bigger then I expected, I hope its the second.

I mean think about what the next packet will contain.

New classes, likely 2 or three.

New subclasses.

Older classes like Rogue and Fghter getting a major redesign.

Apprentice Tier.

Possible Legacy Tier.

Multiclass Rules.

Update to exploration rules.

Classes get more feat and feats act more like features so massive redesign of feats and specialities. Plus alot more feats will be needed.

More Monsters.

More Spells.

Possible another adventure.

More races.

More subraces.

Perhaps improving the math.

A new optional skills system.

Adding profecancies to backgrounds.

Fixing levels 11-20.

Revising Healing again.

Who knows what else.

Given Jon's involved maybe some art as well.

So I think we can expect a

eeew. Is this what you need to track kobolds through Seattle's sewer system?

If you've followed columns and tweets, you must have noticed that at least skills & feats & other non-weapon proficiencies are going to get a major change. This includes ALL feats being redesigned (although they might just have been merged), ALL specialties, ALL backgrounds, plus adding feat progressions to classes, and at least heavily changing the Rogue again.

Furthermore, all classes are being adjusted for apprentice levels (at which point multiclassing rules are very likely to be released as a first draft). Fighters are given subclasses again, which presumably also changes the base class.

I think even without more stuff, it's already a major update.

It simply sounds to me like they're trying to get a solid packet together for Con season, including some art or fancy prebuilt characters. So it's a bit of all hands on deck, and a crash coarse of meetings.

It's similarly possible that they want to prepare some material for their Forgotten Realms work.
