Having it as a feat would work well with the new leveled Feat System. Maybe give it to certain classes/subclasses automatically (Monks once they can run up walls, Rogues when they get Second Story Work, maybe Rangers when they get Roving), then put it behind a Parkour feat at like 8th level for...

@Incenjucar Would you want something like what you are talking about to be dependent on a skills check or simply something you can "do" if you hit the prereqs? Like, what would I need to be able to Jackie-Chan off some walls and parkour up them? Is that a skill, a feat, or just a climb speed?

This is attacking the idea that you would have to create a completely new combat system, which is hysterics: we are talking about changing a specific type of movement and adapting creatures that use that type of movement to new rules. Yet you were talking about how we are essentially changing...

Rage of the Elements is the new book coming out in August focusing on elemental powers and a new class which uses them, the Kineticist. I have heard over and over that it's a fairly beloved class, but having never played it I'm interested to see if they recapture that feeling. Howl of the Wild...

I'm just going to hit this part because I don't really feel the need to continually reiterate my points here, but I find value in hitting the more general sentiments: Because it feels like you are being unnecessarily obtuse in interpreting what I'm trying to say! Why change flight? Well, it's...

Even more than that, the ability to basically walk around within someone's reach really adds to the ability to avoid them: if you or the enemy are able to support each other in combat, it's not hard to shift around to be able to attack a new target without necessarily getting hit by an AoO...

People have given you those, but your argument against has been "Where does it end?" and saying we're going to redo the whole combat system.

Yeah, this is what I basically figured when it came to changing alignment damage and such. Also edicts/anathemas are way better as character building tools. First part, neat. Second part, whoa, that's something I didn't expect but makes sense. Schools weren't as big for Wizards as they were in...

Real weapons don't look as impressive as people think they should, which is why people are always making them as ridiculous as they thought they would be.

It's great that it's not a problem for you! Some people find it dull. Tastes vary. 5E right now is a game that lacks a lot of definition and I find putting different ideas onto how movement can work in different ways to be something interesting. I'd say that the smarter way to do model that...

I think I like the GM Core cover a lot more than the Player Core book. The Player Core looks good but I think I like the original CRB cover more. The GM Core... I dunno, I like how verdant it feels. I feel like a lot of Wayne's artwork has a sort of red tint to it, and the greenness of this...

Why not only flight? I mean, there are a bunch of different kinds of flight, it's more likely to be encountered and is generally a bigger part of the game overall. You are more likely to encounter flying enemies than swimming ones, and typically speaking you are more likely to engage them while...

Oh no, I wasn't implying anything. I just found it fun to compare! :) I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever had ghosts carry multiple weapons. In fact, it's weird to consider a ghost switching a weapon in general for me. Huh. :unsure: lol, see that's where I think you shouldn't generally...

Ah, alright, the fun stuff! I do actually have my monsters drop weapons if they want to quick-switch! It's one of those things my players would call me out on if I didn't. Only a few times, but in special situations. Typically I don't find ammo to be too much of a strain in my games. I...

Let's not put words in my mouth. I think there's something to say about making flying feel at least a bit different because not all flight types are the same. The examples that @tetrasodium has in that 3E chart kind of nails how different things should fly differently and how to do that...

I mean I think swimming is too easy as is, either, but that's just kind of how 5E's movement goes. I mean, not if it requires you to move slowly. Plus I feel like the "Dragon does a strafing run" is a classic image but never actually gets seen in play because there's just no reason to actually...

@tetrasodium No, I understand what you are saying about maneuverability and such. I personally wouldn't mind more detailed flight rules like those because they are more my style: I'm way more into doing that sort of detail for special movement and such to make it feel different. Maybe a new...

I'm not going to say you are wrong, but 6E would definitely have to really break away from 5E to get a Pathfinder-esque movement against it. I am curious as to the amount of people who have "rebranding to a new edition" as a dealbreaker for them.

That's fair, but that's always been a problem with flying in general. Not sure how to really solve that. No, when I say "turn", I mean in regards to changing your movement direction. Facing might be optional, but I'm specifying that you can only change your direction of movement once a turn...
