D&D (2024) One D&D origins playtest survey is live

[Weiley31]

-I remarked that I liked the Ardling and that the only thing I'd add to it would be for a choice of Radiant or Lightning Damage being added as a choice for their resistance. (like I said, I thought of the Bear/Hound/Owl Archons when I read this.)

-I stated that I was dissatisfied with the update to Trance, via two sources released so far, not being brought over to the regular elves. Likewise, Powerful Build should be updated to what is listed within the Giff's Hippo Build racial feature since that is an updated version of it. I also remarked, that if the reasoning for Powerful Build not being updated was that Perkins and the gang are worried about PC's having constant Advantage on STR Checks/Saves outside of Barbarian, that they should look back at their prior history of giving players a bit more stronger options for PCs before. Stuff like the Yuan-Ti Pureblood's Spell Resistance, Goblin's Fury of The Small, the Strixhaven Initiate feats, Hexblade/Paladins multiclasses, etc, etc. They had no probs then so don't be so scared and be a bit braver.

-Mentioned my dislike of no crits for monsters. *Although, I totally forgot the space also meant for stuff like Sneak Attack, Smite, and so on.

-Like the new grapple rules.

-Like the Tiefling options.

That's pretty much it. Loved everything bout the Dwarf. Honestly it didn't really ask me about every single race in the packet.


-Also mentioned that the Crafter feat kinda feels pointless without some form of crafting rules in it. Or at least something to make some kind of magic item. I get they are afraid to after Eberron/Artificers from 3.0/3.5, but really would be nice instead of WoTC reliance of players/dm's winging it.

I think they are content with what we like and really playtest it themselves.
This is how all the UA worked and this should be ok.

I dunno ... we still got the psion.
I probably think that 5e needs more change than most other players (and WotC) do. In my mind, the game is pretty much worthless after 6th level or so.

 

[Charlaquin]

I noticed they didnt ask about the half races.

Probably because they’ve already made up their minds on the matter.

 

[Charlaquin]

Interestingly, they didn’t give a “neither satisfied nor dissatisfied” option for any of these, which they usually do. And only a few had “don’t know/not sure” as an option.

 

[Aurel Guthrie]

Tell them that; not us.

There's nothing wrong with sharing your viewpoint, especially in times like these. If someone shares views and someone else agrees with it, they can also share them in the survey.

• Not a fan of level 1 feats, because a) that tells me feat chains are coming, and I hated those in 3e (along with system mastery tied to them) and b) not everyone plays with feats

Do you feel the same way about feats with prerequisites in general, or just if they form "chains"?

Level requirements can exist without it being chained.

How about lineage or class restrictions?

Sorry to hear that. I don't think it is.

My first post here in a very along time (when E.N. was still active)...so hello all again. Took the survey, but trying to be open minded and willing to accept these drastic changes is going to be hard. Like the backgrounds in general but would like them to decouple the racial abilities and let us choose how our races will look. This agnostic approach will appease so many of us with different views. Not a fan of inspiration, autofail/success d20 skill checks, nor pc only crits for most of the reasons already beat to death. I like the feats in general but they appear very shallow and not well developed. Seems to be a WOTC trend lately...

Also people from WotC definitely lurk on this board.

I definitely did comment on the whole "god made me good at tools" bit of Forge Wise and similar abilities which feels like a cheap work around for features WotC clearly knows are cultural traits but somehow lean harder into racial essentialism.
