What about the synergy with the mobile feat? Could skirmisher/special forces hit and run attacks still be possible?

Closing wounds with spells is not that much of the issue i think. It's not closing them. It becomes a bit of a stretch to imagine a character at 50% "health" fighting at 100%. Even worse, a character at 1 HP. However abstract the HP for a combination of luck, skill, stamina or similar and it...

Yikes! If so, wouldn't a MC character be like insanely more dense then normal characters? More prof bonuses, more hit dice (on top the already custom made synergies)? It would not be until much later that regulars would even start leveling off and by then they would be severely lacking in both...

Only sometimes (in 5E). We either use the big grid board and draw the environment over it, or (on even fewer occasions) use specially drawn maps (often not even "gridded") for some very special spatial encounters. We don't have minis yet. We use tokens generally. I made some minis back in the...

Interesting concept, but i haven't given to it much thought. I'm gonna hold the vote, until more people chime in and give me more basis to make a decision on :)

I think i may have chosen the wrong words. I really meant the act of moving the hands/fingers so fast that others have difficulties tracking them, or noticing what's going on. Well, there is no reason why a person can't be both intelligent and intuitive. But also: This works as well...

Hmm, even by the Third Age, even though old and world weary. the elves are many things but not more sensitive to negative conditions then humans. They were still harder to slain, had more stamina and inner strength and were completely immune to diseases. They were leaving the world because of...

It fits well as an alternative grouping, except for the Perception. I think agility should only effect athletics in your case, as aside from some defensive checks (avoid/dodge some threats) related to perception most of it's benefits are purely physical. It is essentially your reflexes. The...

Ok, part 2, the abilities themselves :) First the unchanged ones. Strength - overall muscle power, the ability to throw things a long way, lift heavy objects, punch hard, carry heavy weights..... As usual, provides bonus to damage dealt, wither through weapon hits or pure unarmed feats. Has...

Very interesting thread! Unfortunately it's 1:30 AM here so i can't go into length on remodeling all the abilities.... :( I would start with the rolling method though and hopefully chime in tomorrow with the abilities them self. So, for starters we ditch the 3d6 model. 5E goes for 16 as a...

Nah i don't think they do. Not chainmail at least. It might actually give raison d'être for some categories. I mean, here we are in a dungeon, just slayed our first dragon and among the loot there it shines, a nice enchanted chainmail, with rubies and emeralds, a rare item at that......and the...

I would definitely go for at least a very rare item. And i would not like it to be something uber powerful, like a +1 adamantine full plate. I was thinking more in line of something utilitarian with a bit of a back ground lore fluff. Something like a mithral chainmail +1. Mithral and chainmal so...

Hey ya, it's been a long absence (so was from my game), but you know how it's like when RL kicks in. Anyways, to make to long story short. Any of the lore masters around here know how 5E handles magic items and special materials? I mean just regular +n enchantment bonus on a special material...

It does make sense i guess. I just never got that sort of impression from the description of the background. Would a soldier that has been through at least one campaign still be verbatim the same as someone who has just completed boot camp? Maybe the adventurers aren't supposed to be treated as...

How do you explain the soldier background then?

Yeah, i'd guess many people do. It is some of the fans of the "old" class (1E and 2E) like me that dislike it. That would explain lots of things. It also emphasizes why i regret not being around for the entirety of the play test. Is there some archive, somewhere that an enthusiast can find all...

This is what i recall as well. I didn't exactly "play" NEXT, i only "fiddled" with it, but i remember planning to actually play a ranger after the last play test. This of course changed in the final product :)

Which in turn they just might, if properly adjusted. IF they don't use their HD offensively, they would surely last longer without rests then any other class, except the barbarians.

It's maybe because my idea streams from the concept of stamina as a resource :) The way i see them connected is, (aside from actually using their life force) that HD seam to be the closest to stamina we have in 5E. How does Merlin use stamina in Excalibur? He seams to almost completely exhausts...

To the OP: Between a relatively low cap on primary abilities and lots of ASIs (more then any other class in fact), i'd say go for a fighter! Why? It will give you the most flexible platform to build almost any warrior type you can imagine AND you won't have to plan ahead. Especially if you...
