My totally serious suggestion is the 3 / 3.5 Grapple Rules. I've heard such wonderful things about them :))))

Great perspective to have. It does seem particularly rough to have a level 4, severe encounter early in an adventure path (assuming they were all level 1). I admit without experience I am somewhat scratching my head at the adventure path samples I've seen emphasising a bit more severe or extreme...

Not applicable to the thread but maybe in the spirit: I do feel that if D&D were to adopt anything from Pathfinder 2e while still being recognisably 5e, the rarity system would be a fantastic place to start. Make it optional, but do DMs a formal way of classifying certain effects and spells as...

I certainly hope this change if it goes through will come with a change to legendary resistances - on paper (no play experience with this) it feels weird that some creatures can deny a player's spell (even if it is limited to a certain amount of times in a battle). Reducing the duration I can...

The great thing is that depneding on one's perspective, the flaw being corrected is counterspelling being nerfed - or counterspelling being too strong ;) (I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I do think the way Pathfinder 2e does it seems better on paper once you understand the...

I expect that one person, probably Taliesin Jaffe, will be playing a homebrew class made by Mercer. I do feel the quip in the announcement about Jaffe constantly asking questions of Mercer either means his character requires significant lore development and detail or that he's asking about rule...

Making short rests 5 or 10 minutes is a good one. Technically not one sentance, but uping the amount of spells learned by Sorcerers a bit would be helpful. And also technically not one sentance, and requires a little bit of rearranging, but you could write the Fighter so that they get...

Were people genuinely asking that? At best I can see them exploring different systems in one shots as they have done before. But them leaving 5e went out the window when the Wildemount book got published by WoTC and Pathfinder 2e didn't arrive at a good time for them to make a shift (I...

I think one contributing question I can add to the discussion is to ask Retreater if there have been any common causes to TPKs or anything in particular that causes a ton of pain. I would also love to see any recollection of combat specifics, if they can be remembered.

The place D&D Beyond are in right now is going to be potentially complicated; they'll ideally want to make sure they don't step on anyone's toes that may not want the changes or revisions. But how will WoTC's contract with them interact with that?

I wonder if there will be any certain present and upcoming 5e revisions that WoTC will be looking at for ideas on how to revise 5e... ;) 5.5e sounds like the perfect middle ground between a 6e etc. for now. Going to be an interesting next few years.

Character sheets created and edited in the paid version of Pathbuilder 2e can be easily imported into Foundry.

Thank you Jman. I know that all systems have unstated assumptions but this feels like one that should have been included in print, at-least in the Gamemastry Guide. But I'm loving that I have a source for this and can help mentally remind myself for if / when I run a PF 2e game.

Lots of excellent points here, but if you are going to put any of them into the current campaign at a lower level, consider level 3 going to level 4 soon afterwards. It's not too far off, and depending on the class and subclass choosen, it wouldn't be too much extra information or features to...

Oh christ not this thread again, we're already derailed enough.

I think you would be interested in Pathfinder 2e's depiction of Gnoll ancestory.

To be fair [significant spoilers] EDIT: appears King Babar has gotten my point across more succiently.

Fascinating to read and learn. I will keep this in mind if / when I run PF2.

That post at-least comes off as more genuine and it tackles the accusations head on. It is a world ahead. I don't trust it entirely as I am always skeptical but it at-least acknowledges harm.

Shameful post from Paizo's President. I think my guilt from buying recent posts is being replaced by anger at how the great creative staff at Paizo are being led not only by abusive, dishonest and nasty people, but cowards too. I commented there as well. Ironically, Paizo has managed to gather...
