Well, there are still game designers, and they explicitly limiting all changes to those that excite people. 5E rules as they stand are extremely popular, and any change has to excite people more than ehatalrready in place while maintaining compatibility. That actually requires a lot of design work and data collection.
That’s my hope. I also understand that just because I like something doesn’t mean most people do. So ultimately I am sure I will be fine. I do really dislike the current Warlock and my work around is I just don’t play it.
I think it is a popular feature. It seems no more powerful than the hide behind the fighter and jump back out move that halflings got to do, like the monster forgets where they are somehow.
Yeah I kind of feel this way too. I hoped this was an opportunity to make an already good game great. Will seem like a waste if after all this things are almost exactly the same. If they decide against things like weapon masteries I wish they could add them to an optional rules section.
Yeah they are trying to thread a very fine needle indeed.
I have a good feeling about weapon masteries, actually. Slow and steady changes were always the name of the game, here. Honestly, just the change from Rave to Species is probably the radical refresh the game needs to maintain cultural relevance all by itself. But in the end, theybwill no doubt put out new variation on all the Classees that appeal more strongly to people.
If there are no big changes, then I would be more interested in what the 3pp are doing. I'm assuming that most of the others will be just as compatible.
Yeah my first choice was through out back comparability and make a better core game. But roll back so it is fully the same game with minor tweeks is the other way of handling the complaint.
Yeah they are in danger of standing in the middle of the road and getting hit by cars going both ways. This may be them deviating what lane to stay in.
