remove the healing word spell from the game.

The OP prime skill should be made class features or use other mechanics not based on ability score and allowing expertise like boost. At the time where Rogue and Bard was the only class having expertise, made some silly choice offer to PCs. MC into Rogue, to be better at grappling and pushing...

Coke manage to survive the New Coke flop. For now Wotc manage to survive 4ed, the OGL crisis, the problems of Hasbro, the insatisfaction about the new playtest, the doubts about it is a new edition or not. I guess they got a phylactery well hidden somewhere.

Easy encounter on the fly. Throw X monsters with level equal to the party level. Otherwise the math of 4ed was unforgiving. roughly a monster 5 level higher mean that player need 15 to hit him, while thismonster need a 5 to hit the PC. So encounter were forced to have monsters that roughly...

DMs I met in the 80 era often have megalomaniac tendencies, or considered themselves misunderstood creator, so they were not likely to allow players influence into their perfect creation. But actually I and others DM allow frequent players input into their world.

TheSword said: Would you make a wizard affected by it take 3 concentration checks? The fun is that the Wizard is more likely to have Shield to protect himself, but the BBEG won’t have Shield! So net advantage for the players! Overall those nasty tricks from DM work a few sessions, after that...

All those are classic takes for a nasty DM, but most players will required to have a chance to make an ability check or make a saving thrown before taking more punishment. The DM may refuse any check or save but then he place himself into the Bitch DM zone.

If I just imagine the scene, the Ghoul will bump into the first line of the army and won’t go far. later he will be push forward. Why caring about this specific ghoul when there is an army Of undead?

Hockey lineup wizard, goalie. Make a miracle. center, paladin. All things turn around him. right wing sniper, the rogue. Always find the nice spot. left wing bully, the barbarian, offensive defenseman, Ranger, don’t give him a clear shot. Steady defenseman, Cleric

Tag spells individually make the use lame. Put the Tags on the school level or related to class or subclass.

In SD Scroll and wand use the same system and require a roll…

Test it with magic items. The SD system can replace charge per day mechanic. Then some class feature can be switched. Arcane recovery can be used with a check, then again in another rest until a failed check.

Martial choosing their abilities that increase in power and get more and more cool at each level have been already offered by Wotc. 4ed done it perfectly, but was a business flop. So I guess we won’t see it again soon ( at least the next ten years), unless playtest, survey and feedback from...

I would not pay the 500 golds to play them, but I can state DnD minis, skirmish game, Confrontation, miniature battle.

Would you still create a character with no magic/only magic? Yes, they feel interchangeable. You describe pretty much 4ed, where being Martial or arcane don’t matter much. Would you learn a specialist spell for your specialist, e.g. a thief that can unlock with magic? Yes, for sure. I want to...

The definition of super hero may vary, but Netflix One piece is doing very well. super hero surely need a super writer behind the screen to survive!

Team sure. The game assume collaboration between players, but also with the DM. Sport? Competitive play is more a choice of play style.

Indeed looking at the UA playtest, some players will be unsatisfied for another 10 years. But 5ed can be house ruled! So some spells can still be banned, put at a higher level, or even rewrite. There are not that much spells, a dozens or so. The OP even bring another simple solution, tweak...
