I agree with the divine power part, like I said, I was just throwing that out there (and on my way to lunch at the time) :D I think these would all be excellent changes to keep the feel of the wizard, but also tone them down.

It's bad, in my opinion, because it was change for the sake of change. I like good changes, not changes just to be different. Skills were new, and I loved those from the start (they werea pretty big change from NWP) Feats? New, loved them. Implements? Don't see the need and don't care for them.

I just don't care for them. I find them a needless addition to D&D after 35 years of not needing them

Implements are terrible too :)

I like the idea, personally. I would rather see spells scale somewhat, personally, especially Magic Missile, as it's iconic, but if implemented properly by increasing the spells abilities or adding bonuses for memorizing it in a higher slot, I'd be open to not scaling by caster level. They...

Exploits is even worse. It's got a bad connotation with me after so many years of gaming :)

See, as a player and DM, I am not a fan of limited player choices. I love a good dungeon crawl, especially when part of a big adventure path with all of the other roleplaying, puzzles and trap goodies mixed in.

Those were alternative names instead of "powers". Instead of "martial powers", call them "combat maneuvers". This is all about the language, not the effects they produce.

I'm playing a rogue right now in a 3.5 campaign. My max damage, with SA, is 35 with my primary weapon, 30 with my offhand weapon. I get 3 attacks (assuming a normal full attack w/ flank) We have not found it (in our entire time of playing 3.5) to be that overpowered. It is AWESOME in some...

Why does it need an overall term? Wizards and Clerics and Druids (oh my!) cast spells. Paladins have auras. Psionic characters use psionics. Martial characters have combat manuevers. The rest? I am not sure we'll see "primal" or "shadow hexes" in the next version. Also quite accurate...

Yes, it really is different to express speed in terms of squares instead of feet. Yes, it's really offputting to read about "powers" in a fantasy game, instead of spells. Powers evoke the super hero genre to me, not fantasy. You can keep arguing, but how I feel about the jargon isn't going...

Wand of Lesser Vigor is the best, actually.

Why does a 19th level dungeon crawler cause problems? I can't name a single D&D world that doesn't have the "highly advanced magical empire that was destroyed by some cataclysmic event". You find one of their cities or tombs or outposts or or or... That seems a lot more easy to deal with in...

In some ways, but for me, personally, I always attempt to keep OOC and IC stuff separate. My DMs try to keep the players IC when discussing tactics AND cut them off if they are going beyond a reasonable "free action" to discuss them. And of course...if we do it in common, there's always a...

Both of these are true. You are playing "wrong" if you just want to roll dice, and playing "wrong" if you roleplay more than roll...on the internet anyway. I don't care for either extreme personally. People who want to put their worst stats into their needed prime attributes to "role play" a...

I like this idea for 3.x, but I'm hoping 5E doesn't have as many issues with Too Good, Good, Mediocre and Bad tiers of feats

4 warforged wizards with repair spells. THEN go with colorsprays and the like :D

You obviously have skipped over my suggestions in many other thread then. (FYI, my "healing is in, I'm out" was in direct reference to the post about giving up on 5e already, aka hyperbole) Either way, I don't feel the need to justify my participation anymore. If you find my posts out of line...

Everyone? I have not suggested anyone should leave or not participate, let alone everyone. I have problems with non-magical "magic" like healing, I have issues with daily/encounter/etc powers, especially when they are non-magic Magic (including the ones in 3.5), and I don't like some of the 4e...

It's alright with me. If they decide to try to dress up 4e in old school terms, it will likely do as well as 4e. Just means more money into Paizo's pockets :)
