Intoxicated wizard + at-will magic missles. Brilliant.

I would like all spells, abilities and other "powers" to be organized in different logical lists. E.g. not only by levels, but by "tags", e.g. by area, by effect, by prerequisites, by schools/power sources and etc. Especially feats must be organized, otherwise bloat will occur one more edition...

Cooldown timers - LIKE IT! Just put some marker at your ability/power and count a cooldown time! E.g. you could use d6 for this purpose. Throw d6 after a use of ability. The result is a number of rounds you'll have to wait to use your exploit again. After next round just turn a dice to a lesser...

Microlite20 uses 3 atributes and 4 skills, but I think it's a good concept but bad design. Let's see, we could use Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha and Com (Combat) Exp (Exploration) Soc (Socialization or whatever:)) "skills" that used in combination with every ability. So you've got attribute...

Microlite20 with 6 atributes and 3 skills for each (combat, exploration, socialisation). Plus feats for every combat ability/utility/upgrade.

I was waiting for Next. Now I'm waiting for release of master's guide of Radiance RPG and new materials for Legend RPG. They've got everything I want from tabletop RPG at the moment - simplicity, customization and right feel. AD&D 2e was kinda my starting point, but It's really hardcore in some...

classes for every attribute - martial (for fighters of all kinds), dextrous (for more sleigh-of-hands/skillful/point-blank shooters or light weapon users), primal (for constitution, some sort of barbarian-druid-monk-shaman mixture using internal resources), specialist (for intelligence, knowing...

Your point about money is just the sweetest spot of my own simple theory - WotC is not interested in balanced, open, editable and true-modular system. Since 3e they've been doing all stuff in a way of trials and errors. But let's see - 3e was complex enough, mechanics were different for all the...

Completely fine with "3". I'll not miss 2 hour battles but I want my henchmen and castles back!B-)

as for me hit points for heroes represent their readiness for a fight. I mean - how could you become more healthy by the time?! if you're 18 it's ok but time is taking your health, not upgrades you every year. so, let's pretend, that HP's are some sort of abstraction. but if it should be some...

I think that opportunity mechanics should be locked within unique powers/feats/actions for "martial classes" as different kinds of ripostes and counterattacks. as for the casters they've got their feather falls, dispels, etc. and they don't really need opportunity actions in melee, it's kinda...

Well, why bard is a Society? And the scheme seems to be perfect for me: Prowess (str) - martial, athletic, endurance, power combat (strikes, blows, swings) Cunning (dex) - trickery, stealth, precisie combat (finesse, bows, throwing) Arcane (int) - lore and book knowledge, incl. alchemy, arcane...

The whole pop-mainstream culture (e.g. movies, videogames, comics etc.) nowadays tends to give some "realism", just compare Nolan's Batman and Tim Burton's and you get a point. So, I think of a low-magic, less non-humans and else but with more precious and wondrous feel in terms of absolutely...

If you haven't seen Legend from Rule of Cool - check it out. I think they have a really clean and simple approach for multiclassing/kit. Class itself contains different tracks of powers, and you have three of them. Some classes have options in choice of these tracks, and multiclass is done by...

roleplaying is a way to emulate alternative reality with some level of discretization with a help of at least one extra human being. tabletop roleplaying - is a roleplaying game where discretization of a world achieved by dice rolls, cards, numerical progressions and turn-based competitions in...

I have a homerule for this: Let's say you have 3 defenses - will/fort/ref. Which of them have been working already with some combat problems? at least reflexes. and what is the AC? it's a dexterity driven defense too (in a common way) but - if there's an armor on you and you've been hit, does it...

Well I see some ways to solve fighters problem: 1) leave the old names for classes itself and -> 2) use new names from roles (defender, controller etc.) to point out an archetype in D&D and after these two simple steps -> 3) make a brand new fighter paradigm - multiattacking/ tactical/...

Check out AD&D. There was ALOT of ability damages those days especially undead attacks:)

Maybe it's time to give levels instead of xp? Why do you need some additional mess in your character sheet :p? In some non-dnd games it works and they are a little bit younger than d'n'd and have some fans...

WotC made a huge mistake when they had released a "truly innovative" and casual and "gamist" 4e. And after that they've made an additional stupid thing - they've decided to abandon the traditional d&d worlds. I mean, they've abandoned traditional worlds in terms of classic feel. They put...
