@evilbob I see this new borrowed from @EZO nicely! Good work. :) I'll pass it on to him when I see him Saturday. Minor issue, but I don't know if you want to "clean up" the forms a bit. For instance, your radio buttons are off a little. Just depends on how much that matters, I know that...

But "barbarian" isn't the right term, while "berserker" makes more sense. A barbarian "raging" is a WotC thing. I don't see Conan "rage" when he fights. Screaming and yelling and throwing yourself into a fight does not a barbarian make. Lucky you, then, I suppose, because I've never seen...

It is puzzling, isn't it? shrug

Are you ok with psionicist as a spellcaster that is a spellcaster, though?

I, too, would rather see a Warlord than another spellcaster like the Psion. I never cared for the Artificer and would have preferred a Warlord then, too.

We agree spell lists are a major issue for psw's. In our games Sorcerer's are CON-based casters, and allowing them to burn HD to regain spell points or sorcery points (and I agree make them ONE spell point pool!) is an idea we've explored. We've also had homebrew features like "Magic In All...

I do. I just don't agree with it. I think you are equating far more to the manner of those mechanics when in reality, it is just the same thing: move and attack. The fact they move differently or attack differently is minor really. It is more important to your view, but not mine. Which is why I...

But ultimately they are just hitting and moving, as spellcasters are just casting spells (and moving). What makes the Monk and Rogue unique are the abilities they have outside of hitting and moving. There isn't a lot of uniqueness to the Fighter and Barbarian outside of those. Likewise, there...

I guess I'm just looking at "system" as broader than you. Yes, take away spells and Psion, Sorcerer, Wizard do nothing and have nothing. My point, too. Meh... I think we have too much overlap with them, anyway. I guess it begs the question if how you cast a spell, etc. really adds enough...

Then I would argue the issue is overlap in spells and little more. Barbarians, Fighters, Rogues, and Monks all use the same system--attacking, HP, AC, and movement. Apart from spells: Clerics have channel divinity Druids have wildshape Warlocks have invocations (although I never like the...

I think many people would argue the reverse of this.

We will agree to disagree about that and drop it, please. Thanks.

My fundamental problem with psions is they come off too "superhero" for me. But that is more my issue. It is the same reason I am not a big fan of high-level play. However, if I had to include psions I would basically want "force-users". One thing I love about Revised Star Wars was using force...

I just hope everyone appreciates how difficult it is for me to NOT rip this to shreds. So, all I will say before I bow out of this thread is: Best of luck! I'm glad the community has something to hope for and they can get behind. I hope you get something you can enjoy and really use. Signing...

Did you honestly expect anything different?

It's a driver's education training car with two steering wheels. ;)

My first 1E ranger was more like a roman legionaire (?). Spear and shield. :)

I don't DM often--ever really. But as a player I love a good railroad. That might sound strange but when I play D&D I am there to take part in a story, make some choices, and see where the adventure takes me. Like the old Pick-A-Path to adventure books. I have a hard job and a mentally...

Well, you change half-casters to get level 5 spells at 9th level just like casters. Instead of slowing down their progression, you restrict their number of spells available and spell slots. I know such revised spell progressions is something @ezo has shown here because we've used it in his...

No, for me it is because those ranger variants aren't a "ranger" for me. Plenty of content, just not appealing to me. I think the ranger tries to be too much to too many people--which is why it doesn't work for everyone. I don't think that is why they do it. Saving space isn't quite the big...
