Having thought about this I dont like the Ardlings - it seems a forced combination of several ideas rather than a distinct thing. And I dont like the idea of flying race in PHB. I much prefer the Shifter idea for andromorphic races (a connection to lycanthropes or a cursed people). I like the...

I voted for minimal work. I dont expect that classes (or monsters) designed 10 years apart should be expected to play easily at the same table. I just think that is unreasonable and leads to the question of why bother to make really minimal changes. I want to keep the spirit of 2014 intact but I...

Not sure. They did not stay alive long enough to be properly surveyed.

Yes, unless they increase the numbers of feats. Increasing the numbers of feats may be the price to pay for reducing the power of feats and increasing their number.

There are too many ways to get Advantage as it is so I would like to see this as a reroll.

I love it for monsters as the OP describes but it also provides an interesting design space for PCs both for a reaction and as a condition - especially for martial types. For instance surely there could be some benefits for bloodied barbarians? (Id rather see martials boosted rather casters...

I think getting advantage on a 20 only becomes a big deal if there is a general reduction in the ways you can get advantage. There are too many easy ways to get advantage. My rouge scout with steady aim never has to worry about it!

I really prefer the idea that races have an ongoing cultural and historical presence in the world rather than a lineage. That is why I prefer the 4e style dragonborn, tieflings, and devas to the individual/isolated planetouched narrative. The 4e races least tried to have stories and animosities...

I guess by make sense I mean just having a consistent system where if you roll to attack and roll a 20 then extra damage is applied because you have hit the target in a weak spot. An arrow or a fire bolt in the eye should do extra damage. I still think you can and should have class, racial...

Surely there are more interesting ways to do that - especially via feats or maneuvers. I think taking away crits of attack spells takes away the fun of crits for casters. I also think it is weird that martial PCs are the only people in a game world that get critical hits - I am not sure that...

I for one welcome our new feat overlords - especially the level or tiered nature of them.

The way that critical hits only affect weapon damage for PCs (not spells) is really strange. It is the only thing here that I really dont like.

Yep but it was 35 years ago!

I just want a 6e that is based on 5e and has a) more interesting monsters, b) more customization/design choices for PCs, c) something for my PC to spend gold on (masterwork items, magic items - I dont care if they are + or something more complex), and d) actually works well above 12th level.

The goliath in our party had long said he wanted to get a pet dire wolf cub. So when we encountered one (we were 2nd or third level) he was very excited and tried to animal handle it (-1 on the skill), he failed that so tried food and failed, then he failed tried to wrestle it, when he failed...

We dont really use it. I prefer to play were we monitor in game allegiances, commitments and obligations as a roleplaying element rather than abstract 'mechanic' (I am not sure it is a mechanic anymore). Ie if you murder someone it is a roleplaying problem involving the guard, not the DM or the...

High level 3.5e burnt me out. I remember when the druid summoned a third beast in a big fight against some giants - it broke my brain!

I played a Bard of the College of Swords and I did not have much fun. I did not find the character very effective in combat and did not like using inspiration to buff myself rather than the party.

I think groups checks in 5e are a good idea that could be expanded upon. They dont replace the idea of skill challenges but are a simple starting point for collective party skills check in social or exploration contexts.

I agree with many of the issues noted above. Namely I would like to see more interesting and challenging monsters, more opportunities for customizing my PC abilities and gear (I want to spend gold!) and better rules for social and exploration. For for me high level play needs a lot more...
