D&D 5E D&D 5.5e; Your wish for 5.5e update.

[Lidgar]

Not really interested in a 5.5.

However, would be interested in an even more basic version of the basic rules - at least when it came to races and classes.

I've home-brewed this OK, but would be nice if there was more support for something like another "B" series of modules.

Out of curiosity, how much more basic do you want? What do you want from a B-series-compatible basic game than the current basic doesn't deliver?

Re-balancing feats and spells. We all know that a few feats are OP and many others are duds. Likewise, several spells are obviously not worth taking. Some of this has already been addressed by errata. But they could do a few more, because the changes are isolated; it probably won't ripple through the system. Examples: I'd like to see the -5/+10 feets nerfed a little (a LITTLE), and Polearm Mastery nerfed. I think many of the skill-related feats (Athlete, Actor, Skulk, etc.) should grant Expertise in the skill they apply to. Weapon Master should just give proficiency in all weapons. Savage Attacker should somehow, you know, be savage, not just a damage upgrade.

You might be interested in Rogue Comet's Dungeonesque. In the opinion of many, it's a better 5e Basic than 5e Basic is.

Though as [MENTION=1288]Mouseferatu[/MENTION]'s question touched upon, a lot will depend on what, exactly, you're looking for.

It sounds like you'd want some of the old Unreal Tournament style voiceover there - "SSAAAAAAVVVVAAAAGGGGGEEEEEEE"

I had actually hoped that 5E would jettison ASIs and that the feats would be converted to be more like "ribbon" abilities.

One of the reasons ASIs are needed is to counterbalance the racial stat bumps. I really hate the racial stat bumps.

The only thing I would add is some kind of active defense. Relying just on Armor class doesn't seem to keep that in mind. Matt Mercer does a good job on critical role of making it seem that way. But a contested role for it to hit and parry would seem better. Just my two cents.

Defense rolls and Attack scores. Convert armor class to bonus...convert enemy attack bonus to a static # (11+ attack bonus). Players roll d20+ defense bonus,try to beat attack score.

Edit- link to 3.5 srd
part of "players roll all the dice"

I want this to be the last version. Keep it evergreen.
