Umm, you DON'T NEED to stat out every little thing the monster can do... that way leads to madness Siege Monster + 30 Strength = throw a building or boulders

looking forward to it... may even throw my hat into the ring... I have a solid "in between" adventure in mind.....

Int saves are going to get a boost once psionics are in..... and if your Gm is not calling for a ton of investigation rolls........

Einlanzer there is a component you are not taking into consideration.... D&D Attributes are iconic, their use (Dude that guy as a 18 charisma!) has permeated into popular culture. just like Hit Points and Armor Class these things can't be changed without changing the heart of the game.

if there is 5e stuff.. you got me

As i said before.... play a champion with JUST heavy armor mastery (not a "choice" feat.. its always on, minimal "thinking" required and the Shield Mastery Feat... always an option, can use any time, no limit on uses) and then play one without those feats... its a night and day difference in...

not at all... wizards will find stuff along the way.. and again, any wizard worth his salt has a extra spell book or two stashed in safe places... in my last home game I had a habit of always leaving a backup spellbook at the nearest temple of my god, with a small donation (my character...

except the wizard is not.. any spells he has in his head prepared stay prepared until they swap them out... so if they have the right spells set up, getting their copy of the spell book is not all that hard. never mind the fact they still have cantrips (which = basic attacks) lets also look...

Any wizard without a back-up (or two) placed in safe places is not worth their salt

Except last time I checked a wizard can cast ritual spells from their spellbook, which opens up all kinds of options... while keeping spell slots free

I don't want them to have "powers" per say.. but I like the options fighters can gain through feats Shield Mastery, Sentinel, and Heavy Armor Mastery for example when you strip away feats all the other classes have cool things to fall upon, they don't need them fighters get more stat boosts...

and oddly it's the same people that bitch at the table when the wizard, paladin, or ranger pulls off something amazing with those bits "wait how can he do that?" I had heard that at so many cons back in the (early) 3.0 days it was not even funny anymore.

you have to take a sub class... but the champion is the "basic fighter" one no frills.. very easy to play they get things like extended crit range with any weapon and an extra fighting style its the fighter in the basic D&D rules

Fighter (Champion) no feats... or a mix of melee/ranged feats (best option I think)

I would suggest a middle ground for fighters and feats.... read the feats and come up with a list of "approved fighter only feats" and see how it plays out.... in all honesty after playing with a fighter with feats and one without.... no feats hurts the fighter more then any other class...

hammer meet nail

the DMG grants a "can" not a "must" heck not even he "should" even if you read the "play examples" they don't deviate from RAW, there is not one example of the GM winging a ruling something other games (like Fate) call out on purpose but we have drifted VERY off topic

Unless you also use a shield....

I can see this if you are just fighting 1 guy.... but you have to drop what's in your hand.. and seeing how evil some GMs are (the minion grabs your longsword +1 and yells "I'm rich" and runs off) I rather not :P

Trust me.. your kind is rare.... I own part of an RPG company (paradigm concepts) and played with so many different people its nuts (including an amazing opportunity I had to do a book signing in England) and while I have played with GMs as flexible as you are... I would say your a 1 out of 10...
