As an idea source I would like to point you towards Blame! (Manga). Its worth the read, cause it introduces you to the sheer scale of such a world, and the diverse areas it has within it. The sphere is approximately: from Earth to at least Jupiter's planetary orbit (for a radius of around 5.2...

My thought. Half-elf - +2 CHA and +1 any is enough. Dwarf, mountain - +1 STR and +2 CON would be enough. Human should be: No Feat, +2 Any +1 Any, + some racial stuff that I cant think of. Any race that gets a racial feature that over laps with a class feature (at level 1), should get an...

Spell descriptions dont indicate which class can cast them. Races receiving features that overlap with class features, such as weapon and armor proficiency also the goblins Nimble Escape (and not receiving compensation in the case of overlapping)

Half-orc need to go, and should be replaced by Orcs as a core playable race. Same for Half-elfs, remove them, we already have elfs. Halfling, their just half humans, the gnomes already cover every small person angle. Even the hobbits in Tolkien's works are just a parody on people from the...

Lets end this: Feather Falling 4 + 1 = 5 Spell Turning 2 - 2 = 0

Sounds similar to the 3.X version to me.

Do what ever is fun, for the player and the group. I played a face for the past 6 months in Shadowrun, on an average days we played out the conversations. On days when I just didnt feel like RP-ing, I just described what I wanted to achieve and how I wanted to go about doing it. And in both...

The glass is half empty. :)

Wasen't the point, some people don't like to play complex systems but still like RPGs. 5e is a less complex system them many other major systems, thus these people like playing 5e. 1+1=2 (why do I have to spell this out). Thats all up to the GM how they handle it. Player describes what they...

Now that you said it and got to think about it, yea those are very front loaded options. That and a fair amount of stuff usually needs to be planned out ahead if you want to make a very specific character. But it still stands that 3.X offer significantly more post-character creation options the...

Yea I have seen that idea in a Hungarian RPG of all things (M.A.G.U.S.). Using the d20 system, your first 4 levels are chosen from the NPC classes, commoner, expert, noble, warrior and adept. Then for 5th level you can actually choose you 1st PC class level (if you meet the requirement, kind of...

I get that its for inspiration, but I think its not well presented and its overly long. A simple list would have sufficed, with examples. IMO its much more fun to read a list with short description for character concepts to inspire me then 15 pages of filler. That and that would have prolly...

What? I was saying its a good thing.

Nooo. I'm saying that I'm happy that 5e is much more simple and new player friendly. That is why more new players are trying it out. I'm glad that more people enjoy the same game as I do. Also yes, tons of people don't play cause they find some RPGs complicated. Example, one of my friends loves...

I would like to point you to Unearthed Arcana. Totems (as alternate base classes): Jaguar Ape Bear Boar Dragon Eagle Horse Lion Serpent Wolf Horse Lord Implacable 6 alternate class feature sets. 3 Racial substitutions class levels (Goliath, Halfling, Half-Orc)

The background section is a waste of effort, thats what I'm trying to get at, it takes up 15 pages on describing backgrounds. Short mechanics explanation + 1-2 pages of examples and done. That way, more work could have been put into other parts of the book...like the ranger for instance, or...

Are there details out on PF2's system? If yes please link it. Yea I get that, but what I was saying is that they should have just improved the 3.5 formula, but for reals this time (PF tried but it was really just D&D 3.75). I guess they did, a lot of people love it. Is it better? I personally...

I dislike that after you create your character, there is very little customization you can do (other then multi-classing). Everyone just starts at level 3 so every one can just start the way they want (the first 2 level are almost pointless). Tool Proficiency functions the same way as skills...
