only without Concentration.

one minus of VTT is that DM cant throw dice at players that dont remember their characters abilities, hehehe. this is true, however there is a lot more room for L2P also.

this is a cool idea. I am thinking about changing the dice rolled for expertise with a flat skill bonus. +2 sounds nice with raised floor. IE: expertise, in addition to normal proficiency bonus changes d20 to d12+10. so IE normal skill check would be with proficiency at 5th level with +4 mod...

that is like only 8 sessions for 60+hrs??

I get it, but it's in no way simpler than a single modifier. how can 1d20+1d4+1d4+3 can be simpler than 1d20+7? as for character sheet have each skill have 4 boxes box 1: proficiency/expertise bonus box 2: ability mod box 3: any additional bonus box 4: total bonus

the ability scores should have been axed a long time ago. their utility is next to nothing in 5E, and what there is can be easily replaced with modifiers. even have all character sheets that puts modifier in the front and players learned that their DEX is "4" and not "18".

If there is anything that I hate about A5E it's the expertise die. Even changed Guidance/Bless/Divine favor spell to flat +2

actually, it stacks less and less. only real gain is increase in crit chance. adv gives you +3,33 on average E.Accuracy gives you +1,66 on to of advantage. So half extra of normal advantage bonus 4d20D3 would give you +1 over 3D20D2, and 5d20D4 would give you +0,66 over 4D20D3 crit chance is...

why? every "class" has finite amount of "power budget" or "feat slots". if you take Rage, Smite and sneak attack, those are two opportunities to improve one of those by 2 steps or to take some new features that would be more powerful. That is the problem with multiclass, you need to hope that...

I'm saying, keep the classes and leave options open for a custom class. we had that is 5E, but it required abomination of a multiclass. you could Rage, sneak attack and smite with same attack.

classes are feat treas, but you do not have a say what feats are in that tree. they are just preselected for your convenience. And for, ehem, "balance", hahaha! I do not say get rid of classes, they are iconic. but class features should be designed around being in power level of a half-feat or...

I mean, in 3.5e we had wizard and fighter as perfect examples of that. one had no spells and lot of bonus feat slots, other had spells and fewer bonus feat slots.

halfcaster, multiclass half levels of mage with half levels of martial 1/3 caster, take 1/3rd levels of mage, rest martial rogue: take more skill/expertise feats instead of more HP, armor, extra attacks.

that works. But, I would just have 2 1. spellcaster 2. martial
