It was more not a lot of folks wanted to look at. Many of the wish lists for 3e and 5e is 4e stuff "written the long wordy way".

a way to solve this and and make more damage is to link damage to attack roll directly. every weapon deals fix damage when you hit AC...

Combat maneuvers should NOT be a must. At least isn't the resource using side. There should be a basic standard that all Martials...
