I feel like I could make a whole thread of design issues with 5e/5.5e/Offshoots, and then write a whole book about how to fix them.

Having it be options seems fun, I like this a lot. Many of the proposed changes in this thread could be optional rules and I do not...

I'd add Infusions for generic magic items like returning and reloading weapons or armor of resistance. But common manuvers could be...

Some spicy takes but that is what we are here for. I feel like asking for a faster and more thematic version of the game is not too much

-Skill system needs a mild rework, the conglomerate skill of Athletics should be broken up. Every class should get at least one...
