Honestly I'd like 5.5e/6e to have a new player focused 'simplified' set of classes specifically for those who don't want to deal with mechanics. Like the Tasha's warrior, expert, and mage, but balanced for players to use (and usable on dnd beyond). That way you can have a section of the game...

I suspect 6e will happen at some point, but not any time soon. The amount of work it will take to redo the character builder part of DnDBeyond for 5.5e makes me think that they're going to focus on this edition for a while. If a new edition does come out, I hope they provide options for lower...

I prefer starting at level 1 when possible, though our group will often start at level 3 or level 5. Honestly I'd prefer to start at level 0 if it existed, as I prefer the 'zero to hero' trope. While modern DnD typically starts you at minor superhero power levels.

I really can't imagine 6e coming within the next 5 years. From the roadmap it looks like they're putting a lot of effort into supporting 5.5e (including redoing the whole character creator on DnD Beyond). Though when they start working on 6e, I hope they actually give themselves enough time to...

Personally I'm pretty happy about this change. 5.5e both matches what the game actually is better, while also being way easier to say and type than 'DnD 2024'.

Designing a piece of software which barely ran smoothly on high end gaming PCs, and then trying to market it to a community which largely does not have high end gaming PCs was.... a choice.

It's a bit of a tangent to good vs evil settings, but I've always liked the approach where most of the setting is 'unexplored'. You don't know what's beyond that next hill. Entire areas of the world have completely undiscovered species and continents. Most people never travel beyond the village...

I think this is exactly where I am right now. I used to think that maybe humanity was inherently at least neutral, with the average persons good nature being dominant over any evil they had. Sure there was bad individuals who would set things back, but over time things would keep slowly...

I'm not sure how this reflects on me, but I've always preferred to play in more grimdark settings, as well as settings with less civilisation and magic than what's expected by the DnD 'default'. I think this is partly why the default themes of DnD have been less and less interesting to me over...

As someone completely desperate for an arcane gish class.... The warlord should objectively be the next classes added. A support based martial class is the biggest hole missing in 5e, and nothing in game even comes close to how the 4e warlord used to play.

The more you look into it, the more you realise that the entire term 'species' is a complete mess. Ring species are especially interesting.

Many modern humans have trace ancestry from H. neanderthalensis and H. denisonvans. Both of which hybridised with H. sapiens in the past.

I've never understood why the term hybrid is offensive. Many irl humans (including myself) had mixed species ancestors.

Yeah I'd thought THP's as armour for a homebrew class already, but the idea is clearly magical. For mundane armour, it would break any immersion I had if it 'healed' every rest. Also how does the system OP is proposing work with dextrous characters who can dodge attacks? Both that and armour...

See I view the idea as a half caster. The arcane/elemental equivalent of ranger and paladin. This is part of the arcane gish identity problem. As every DnD edition has completely changed the name, narrative, and mechanics of the arcane gish class (often having multiple arcane gish classes in a...
