I did miss that it says "for skill." Honestly, I'd probably pull that limitation out anyway if I was writing it. I'd probably make the function of JOAT a named convention, like Expertise and Proficiency, and use that as a tool to keep them from stacking. You lose the variability of Talisman but...

Feats probably need to be reworked somewhat to cover things that are currently only race features. Stat bumps? Are you saying that you only get to pick from the first list if you're small, and only from the second list if you're 25'? Can't say that I love that. Then again, some of those things...

JOAT and Talisman should work the same way as each other. I personally think they should both work as JOAT with verbiage that makes it clear they cannot stack. Alternatively, modify JOAT to work as the Talisman does, but still don't allow stacking. Limiting it to once between short rests would...

My favorite right now is Vladar's 5E optimized character sheet. Very functional and has spots for just about anything you could need. Some of it's a little cramped but it works quite well.

Perhaps instead of spell versatility, it should just be one versatile spell known. You would have your regular spells known, which are static except through leveled retraining. Then, separately from this, an extra "known spell" that can be changed daily. This would prevent the "change the...

Multiclassing through feats as another option (don't get rid of level MCing, also fine with dual-classing or hybrid multiclassing being added as well, more options the better). Visions of Avarice (a spell from 4e which I just love the flavor of, mechanics can change), I would further change the...

Punchy Barbarian should be a thing without optional rules like feats and multiclassing, I think. (Yes, I realize the entire UA is offering optional rules, but they very well could be integrated in a PHB2-type book.) And the Weapon Master feat doesn't give access to a fighting style. Are you...

I feel like I'm missing something. It still can't have two-handed, heavy, or special properties to qualify as a monk weapon.

The alternative for Monk Weapons? Yes, that's correct. The feature does not grant proficiency (nor does the original Martial Arts feature). This allows you to use proficiencies you get from race, feats, multiclassing, etc, as a monk weapon. But you get to decide what is a monk weapon for you. I...

I have to agree with a lot of what you're saying here. I like the "move 15" reaction but I feel there's still more to do here. If it weren't for the battle master and beast master update here, I'd think maybe they were focusing on base class abilities and would have subclasses somewhere else...

Anything promised on the KS should still get delivered, I'd think? Also, I'm not clear if Amazon is paying for the first 10 or if they've only made a distribution deal on the first ten, anda re paying for the second set of 14 episodes.

Your point about cantrips is good. I always thought they should be in the spellbooks anyway, and be able to be put on scrolls. I'll be sure to add that input in my feedback on this. And as others have mentioned, clerics and druids already outdo wizards on versatility in spellcasting preparation...

Part of me wishes Pact of the Talisman worked exactly like Jack of All Trades, but maybe JOAT is too good to begin with? I don't see what's so bad about Bards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks being able to change a single spell once per day. Clerics and Druids already can choose all of their spells...

That's a good thing to bring up when they post the survey. I think it should be uniform, after you see the result.

Thought vomit, apologies: Blessed Strikes is a good replacement for Cleric 8. Good to see another use for Wild Shape for non-Moons. All fighters getting access to a battle master maneuver as a fighting style is kind of intriguing. A couple of the added maneuvers might be too much. I like the...

One thing I'll say for Arcana Domain once you hit level 5 is that if you have Booming Blade, Warcaster, and are using Spirit Guardians, you get to put enemies into no-win situations and I like that. Still limited to a d6 weapon die if you want a shield, or a d8 if you go two-handed, though.

Do they have a press release out about this?

I'm really excited about them refocusing on potion making for the Alchemist. I still think it could be an entire class of its own (as it is in that other RPG) but at least seeing some better focus for it would be nice.

Some of my favorite things actually exist outside of the movies, strangely enough. Obi-Wan vs Maul sequence in Star Wars Rebels "Twin Suns" is incredibly good. Also Rebels, "Jedi Night," incredibly good. Vader's flight sequence in "Siege of Lothal" as well. Everything to do with Onderon and...

5 years after ROTJ. Boba Fett's birth is around 32 BBY. Battle of Endor is 4 ABY. Boba would be somewhere around 40. Still doesn't fit Herzog, of course. I honestly don't know if I expect Boba Fett to be in the show.
