Healing Potion as a Bonus Action has been mentioned so I will add: Species not granting any ASI or at least species having maximum non-magical limits on strength to account for size. Ignoring Loading property of Heavy crossbows with Crossbow Expert Being able to load a crossbow without a free...

Soft of. For Fantasy, I am more interested in Barbarians of Lemuria (with the Sword & Sorcery Codex), Honor+Intrigue (possibly with inexpensive non-human and magic supplements), Savage Worlds, BASH Fantasy Legend of Steel and Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells. Even Fantasy Hero 4e and d6 Fantasy...

Nope. Modvay/Cook B/X was not a thing when I was introduced to Holmes Basic.

My first non-D&D game was either Boot Hill (2e), Gamma World (1e or 2e), or the original Top Secret while I was in junior high. That is about all I recall.

Regarding backgrounds, I like how they split the Guild Artisan/Guild Merchant into Artisan and Merchant. I also liked the inclusions of Farmer, Guard and Guide. I do wish they had kept Urchin separate from Wayfarer. Since they have Acolyte, I do wish they had included both Wizard Apprentice...

@Mind of tempest To add to the above, If I recall, correctly, among the Dine' (Navajo), Skinwalkers are powerful evil witches (male or female) that gained their shapeshifting by killing a close relative. Definitely, a negative connotation.

I edited my prior post adding Goliath and combining Gnomes and Goblins under Fey (with the addition of Kobold and Sprite to Fey). My alternate (and not serious) list in which the species are all stylized in a big eyes, small mouth anime style: Human Arachne Centaur Cyclops Harpy Lamia Mermaid...

Human Dwarf Elf Halfling Deva Fey (Gnome, Goblin, Kobold, Sprite) Goliath (without the temporary growth ability) Lizardfolk Orc Shifter As for Half-Dragon, Half-Elf, Half-Ogre,Half-Orc, etc., I would do them as feats that must be taken at first level.

I agree. If they are going to a Dancer, I'd rather see it either as its own class (as done by Taron Pounds) or a non-spellcasting rogue subclass.

Personally, I would remove Swashbuckler from Thief and, between Fighter and Thief, I would include a light armor fighter class with the following subclasses: Brawler/Pugilist, Corsair/Pirate, Duelist/Fencer, Kensei/Swordmaster, Musketeer, Swashbuckler,

Regardless, I liked the Deva.

I thought it was because of Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender and, maybe, Doctor Who. Depending upon how one interprets the end of Heavy Metal, it can also work for Taarna dying and the girl becoming the new last of the Taarakians.

I forgot about the Deva. Definitely, should be included. While waiting, Mike Evans at DIY ( wrathofzombie.wordpress.com ) has a Deva for 5e.

Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, and Half-Ogres. edit: Lizardfolk (and give environmental variants), Gnolls, and Shifters in addition to the three above.

I think there are some nice tweaks/additions. However, for my fantasy tastes, I don't see anything to make want to buy the PHB. I find the new subclasses (with the possible exception of the Circle of the Sea Druid), the increase in healing (adding healing abilities, making some class healing...

It was a failed tv pilot in the US that aired in 1981. It was later released as a movie in Europe under the title Archer and the Sorceress. edit: I read that it is available on Amazon Prime, but have not verified it. Also, if I recall correctly, the arrival and meeting of the barbarian leaders...

Dragonslayer and Ladyhawke with a bits of influence from Archer: Fugitive From the Empire (a.k.a. Archer and the Sorceress), Beastmaster, Excalibur, Harryhausen (Clash of the Titans, Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad), Heavy Metal, Labyrinth, Lord of the Rings (both), Willow, and Pirates of the...

Barbarian: I don't know, but something to replace the World Tree Bard: I would have preferred they created a Cantor/Divine Bard, a Druidic/animal-friend Bard (for the Disney princesses), or even a College of Sea-Singer/Shanty Bard to include rather than adding the College of Dance and even the...

Yeah, I would have ditched them too.

I have no problem with the term. I enjoy a lot of different games. However, since Crawford has taken over the direction of D&D, I have found myself becoming more of a grognard toward D&D- especially, with regards to the new subclasses and many (but not all) of the changes/additions to specific...
