Advantage/Disadvantage is not the same as a +4/-4. Advantage and Disadvantage doesn't change the DC the person can hit, only the chance of actually hitting it.

They need to just get rid of the medium armor category. It's kind of pointless. Just divide up the medium armor into light and heavy.

I would love to see various RPGs using the base 5e ruleset. I would especially want a gritty medieval European RPG in the vein of the old A Game of Thrones d20 game. I also would like to see a d20 Modern with the new 5e rules.

I really like the idea of wild magic sorcerer. I hope all the sorcerer options are as varied. I am hoping for an ancient hero or immortal ancestor one as well.

Weapon speed never made sense as a weapon with a longer reach is at a much greater advantage in quickness of attack than a smaller lighter weapon in most situations.

I disagree with those who say that divine pacts shouldn't be an option. There is a difference between a worshiper and someone who simply makes a contract with a deity. I think the chosen in Forgotten Realms could be a type of Warlock.

I hope that if they keep the option, they move it to a feat instead of keeping it as a vital ability for someone wanting to wield a two-handed weapon. Right now any Ranger, Fighter, and Paladin with a two-handed weapon is basically forced to take it. It would also help if they would have it...

It's not really an MMO art department, but they did out source the Forgotten Realms art to a company in Asia.

I am glad the patron has the most effect on the warlock. I hope there are more options than the three patron types listed. There could be shadow, elemental, deity and artifact patrons.

I agree that D&D Next feels like AD&D 3rd edition. It feels much more of a natural progression from 2e than it does from 3e or 4e, especially considering how 2e progressed with the accessory books including the black books.

Firstly, the 'Trickster' name is really lousy. At least groupings are better than the complete inconsistency that having a Mage meta-class had, but it makes me wonder how the hybrid classes are going to work. Where will the Ranger be? I am glad to see the warlock and sorcerer won't be sharing...

The problems start arising at high levels. It is isn't proficiency alone, but expertise and other bonuses. Some skill DCs end up becoming completely trivial for one class while ones that are difficult for that class become almost impossible to accomplish for another. Opposing skill rolls...

I think the proficiency bonus should just scale from +1 to +3 or just give a flat +3. The +6 bonus is causing issues everywhere, saving throws included.

Further Impressions So I've noticed some major flaws with the multiclass system. The first one is that due to the proficiency system, there is no reason not to multiclass, especially one level into the Fighter. The Fighter gives you proficiency in armor, shields, martial weapons, a skill, and...

If they have the same Strength or Dexterity, yes.

The +6 proficiency bonus is just too high.

First Impressions Proficiency and Expertise: I like the general proficiency concept of having a set bonus that ranges across skills, tools, and weapons. Kinda disappointed the proficiency bonus wasn't folded into Armor Class in some way. However, proficiency combined with expertise is just too...

Right now my major worry is still that obtaining expert gives you a flat +5 which with an ability score of 20 and proficiency, gives you +16 at level 20.

It isn't +11, it will be +16 from the character having a 20 in an ability score which isn't reasonable. You should be better at higher level, but not unstoppable. Unless a character is skilled in Perception and has a 20 Wisdom, the chances for him to detect a level 20 character with Expertise in...

I agree. Giving blanket Advantage to every player like that is just a bad idea.
