More people have played exclusively d&d and decided to try to fix things they dont like than have ever played anything indie. Someone doesn't, say, go to Fate Core to find an alternative initiative system because they've often literally never heard of it or any other indie ttrpgs. They only...

Adv on saves vs poison, poison resistance, (4) Weapon Proficiencies, Artisan Tool Proficiency, Stonecunning expertise, and the mountain dwarf subrace. In exchange they get tremorsense that only works in a niche situation.

They didn't put it in the PHB. Nothing in the DMG should be assumed baseline. Removing custom backgrounds was a deliberate design decision.

Also shout out to Dwarves for literally losing half of their racial features in onednd. They're getting gutted.

I think spellcasters should get one less spell slot per level, and spells (and spell like abilities) should again provoke attacks of opportunity.

I don't think a DM choosing not to use an optional rule in the DMG should be considered a red flag. With custom backgrounds being moved to the DMG, they should no longer be the expected default from players, just like players shouldn't expect the DM will use flanking rules or the Honor Ability...

Instant Death at Zero HP has no death spiral ;)

I am operating under the assumption that wotc is not hopelessly incompetent about designing from survey results after doing so successfully for a literal decade. I am confident that onednd will satisfy the vast majority of players and at least be 'OK' for anyone who doesn't absolutely love it...

The treasure hoards for Levels 0-4 are pretty stingy - unless the party pools all their money towards gearing a single PC. The 5-11 hoards will give more gold, so likely by level 6 the party should have enough money for everyone that wants plate to get it.

You're making up a guy to get mad at.

I preordered the alt covers. I absolutely love the art style and design, especially the Lolth one.

The very first part of the very first official adventure, the goblin hideout in Lost Mines, has Six encounters...

The system works for me and my group, and thousands of other groups. Lots of people like attrition play and don't want to see it reworked. Your perspective isn't universal.

Exactly. D&D has always been designed for attrition-based play and 5e is no different.

I have played 6+ encounter/day games in both 5e and other editions of d&d (B/X, Pf1). Just because that's not how you play doesn't mean nobody does.

GM fiat is good actually

Really don't like the idea of divine intervention being a "daily power" to get an extra free spell cast.

old enough to know better and old enough to be derided for his bigotry.

All the ancestries in 2024 are going to bassically just be colorful humans so it doesn't really matter.

I really hope that the new crafting rules don't allow players to effectively freely pick the magic items they want. There's too many magic items which break things to allow players to choose items off the complete list.
