[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8751711, member: 6915329"] Hey, this looks pretty cool! And actually, I find it more interesting than [I]actual [/I]D&D One. If you're looking for suggestions and notes, I've got a couple: [B]Dragonborn:[/B] Maybe just let people pick damage type and breath shape, just in case someone wants to have non-standard dragon ancestry (gem dragon, ferrous dragon, etc.). [B]Dwarfs:[/B] No suggestion here, just you get like double points for noting that all dwarfs have beards. Kudos! [B]Halflings:[/B] They get darkvision? Personally, I'd remove it. Of course, I'm one of those who wish they'd go back to low-light vision. [B]Backgrounds:[/B] You may want to have a farmer or noble type of background in there. And you might want to specify the difference between Faerie and Fey. [B]Classes (Table):[/B] I'd just put the ASI as an asterisk next to the levels or whatever, rather than having a mostly-empty column. [B]Fighting Styles:[/B] While I know you're kind of limiting this to "basic" sort of options, you might want to include some of the Tasha's options here: blindfighting, thrown weapons, unarmed fighting, etc. [B]Magical Bonds:[/B] I feel like there should be a "study" option (maybe can prepare or cast more spells, maybe bonus on save DCs or spell attacks), for those who don't want to have gotten their power from a supernatural source. But at any rate, you might want to say how often these abilities can be used and for how long. Like, can a Celestial wizard create wings at will for as long as they want? [B]Alignment:[/B] I think that Law and Chaos should be options here as well. Edit: re: [B]Exceptional Variants:[/B] The phrasing is a bit off. It should be more like "Leader/Superior: one per 5-10 members of a group," because as it is, it suggests that any group of monsters will have 5-10 leaders... and also 50 or more legendary monsters.
