It could. It's just not that fun, or enjoyable, or engaging, or interesting, for a lot of people. It's quite inherently one note. Anything you need something like this for can be done with a subset group instead of the entirety of a species. Not to mention when there is society or free will...

Barbarian: Path of the Totem Warrior 16 Bard: College of Lore 11 Fighter: Battle Master 16 Paladin: Oath of the Ancients 17 + 1 = 18 Rogue: Thief 18 - 2 = 16

I would say roughly 90% of my Battle Master moves were Commander's Strike for our Rogue, Trip Attack, and Pushing Attack. Occasionally throwing in a Menacing Attack or Maneuvering Attack.

Oh good, and certainly it does not. It just sounded like that video, given the creator, was focusing on one side to the neglect of the other, so I thought it worth making sure the context was present here. It's thorny, because I definitely agree with you on the Cleric front. That Divine Spark...

Thief is the only one left that I'm not fond of. It's a classic, it's straightforward, but on a subclass to subclass level, it's just not as interesting to me as the others.

I'm way too fond of letting conversations go on and on and on in an effort to try to adjudicate the result off the cuff, rather than letting the characters use their social skills and proficiencies once I know the direction in which they are arguing

Not that this in any way invalidates the bulk of, nor the value or interest of your post, but in light of this comment I do think it's worth mentioning that in the Crawford video, it's specifically called out "I mentioned the most important one of the two issues is we're asking you to make this...

Emergency? Obviously unavoidable. You tell me a week before there's a concert you want to go to that night? Absolutely. An hour before the session, "I'm just not sure I'm feeling up to it today." I...wouldn't want someone to force themselves through playing if they couldn't be present and enjoy...

Things I want from a home base: Number one by far: High customization/modularity. Every time we've had a home base in the game, everyone gets excited about customizing "their" area of it, and I think that's vital to getting full buy in from an entire party. Provides mechanically actionable...

To be clear, I was saying what I did in regards to sexual violence, not as a reply to your planar post. Love planes.

Not a single person here is advocating for including content of that nature without explicit prior consent and opt-in from everyone involved. Right?

In light of Cadence's post, and to not re-litigate dozens of locked threads, I will leave this particular topic with: I think there is enormous room for interesting differentiation, that won't lead to criticism, without using locked ASIs. Those are first and worst boring, and barely serve that...

Maybe you list these things for this exact reason, but have you checked out MCDM's Strongholds and Followers book?

There's a big difference between saying Dragonborn can breathe fire, and every Gnome starts out smarter than every Human.

That's generally not what people who are seriously bothered by their characterization would contend they are presented as.

I don't know if this is a user facing feature, but if you can edit the thread title, you might want to add a + to it.

I adore read aloud text. I'll pre-write my own if I'm fairly confident an area will be visited and really want to sell the importance/visual/fantasy of it.
