The Rogue document had an explanation of Expertise Dice. I'm assuming the full release would have that separate from class. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f30140933f50e61c794e1a3/t/5f76f73119d6bd453d3546e7/1601632049787/enp_level_up_playtest_3_rogue.pdf I'm somewhat amusingly imagining...

Rapid Fire needs a non-ranged alternative. I'm assuming that the combat maneuver Missile Volley it references is Volley from the fighter playtest doc. I'm mostly good with this one as-is and I know there was a stated desire for spell-less. I wonder if there's still a modular path to allow for...

Manifestation feels limiting when considering some of the subclasses. Maybe those specific subclasses allow for picking a new manifestation that fits those subclasses? Overall, I like the direction here.

Way of the Ascendant Dragon - I like that the Monk isn't tied to a specific dragon. In this way, he's channeling the concept of dragon's rather than taking on some sort of mutation or change based on a specific type of dragon. The dragon breath ability is fairly okay, damage might be a little...

Casting touch/self spells in wild shape likely needs to clarify whether you can do it without somatic/verbal/material components. Probably some other small tweaks to clarify little things in the Wild Shape text. One thing I was unsure or missed, can you wild shape into literally any creature, as...

Bad is perhaps not the right word. I'm bad at saying things are bad just because I don't personally like the option. It gives you an ability that eventually works a bit like the Shield spell, but the Shield spell lasts for an entire round off of the one reaction and always gives a +5 to AC. Of...

I think the only other thing is the Defensive Duelist feat, which requires finesse weapons but is also pretty bad.

I think that's a reasonable enough limitation. Limiting to only what's in the PHB rules is meh but this is a nice middle ground. (but should still allow two-handed ranged weapons, of course)

This is also how I feel about the unarmed strike, though I'm not 100% on liking it being finesse. It's very rule of cool, though, so maybe I do like it. Unarmed strikes should either be weapons, or not weapons. If not weapons, there should be a separate action for attacking with unarmed...

Distraction seems like the penalty should only count against things other than the Rogue. Veiled Threat should be stated as a choice when you make the Intimidation check. Sometimes you want the whole room to know, sometimes you don't. Not sure I like Trapsmith as a core Rogue feature. It fits...

I am not looking forward to a glut of Hasbro properties that 5e mechanics don't really fit that well getting a 5e cookie cutter write-up. A couple will probably work fine but I fear how bad it could get.

Like last time, I'm curious how far you can break from the 5E norms. I was hoping we wouldn't see any archetype choices past level 1. For most classes, they are so defining for the character build that I've always hated them being level 2 or 3 for some classes. It's more of a small complaint...

I'm mostly fine with this but they should just remove the race-based ability scores altogether to get rid of the Mountain Dwarf problem and just let each character get +2 to 1 ability and +1 to another ability. I think this is the most straightforward way of solving the issue and completely...

While Link from The Legend of Zelda has some inspiration from Neverland's Peter Pan, he's not actually a character in that universe. Also the YouTube video description led to this: Neverland - Andrews McMeel Publishing EDIT: apparently the book image above is also clickable and goes there.

Mostly random thoughts, somewhat skimming. As with Ancestries and Culture, I am totally for the Heritage/Culture split. Love it. I was hoping you'd move away from the class-based spell lists. Likewise alignment. Maybe I'm asking for too much but I think both of these things should go if we're...

The only thing in this list I don't think I care about are the puzzles.

Kind of makes me wonder if this will be a series of books with player options throughout the edition, all using the word "everything" somewhere in the name.

The Bard I really like but I don't love random effects. Since you can "store it" until your next short rest, it's not as frustrating to me as wild magic/wild rage stuff, and it's all beneficial results as well. While the flavor is mostly in Tales from Beyond, Spiritual Focus is simply good. Nice...

Based on the box text it's a starter set for A Quest of Honor but that could all just be fun marketing stuff. It's possible that there's enough of a system to make more past this scenario/module.

It's all flavor, but the issue I have with it exists in the PHB feats I mentioned as well, they just feel a tiny bit closer to where my thinking is, which is probably getting too close to realism for a game that is very much not realistic. My thinking is more along the lines that training with...
