Gender min/max? I don't particularly care, but in any event, they should be balanced - so that no gender is underpowered compared to another - but honestly, I don't actively *want* them; I would just not mind them. I'm fine without them. About races (and many more restrictions): I am learning...

Hahaha. Ok, my apologies. They can be quite useful. Although, I remember the pregens from Character Builder having a bad reputation here. Well, I suppose I can ask them the basic stuff, and fill out the mechanical details. However, I would like them to know how to build a character by themselves.

Tony Vargas, I suggest reading the rest of my post. In my experience, people react differently depending on the gameplay element. Worse; even I, a veteran comparatively with other local players, tend to dislike this part. It's just something I want to get over as soon as possible. And the minor...

Thanks, Imruphel. Well, back to feats. I hate them. I really do. Reason: they are a mood killer in character creation, especially for novices. This all is my personal experience, but... I had many new players in my games. By observation, I discovered that some things are done with more...

However, I will discuss about design, because that's why I'm here. Bug: it was supposed to edit the previous post, not create another.

Look, I'm not going any further. It is clear why I thought the whole Essentials - 5e weird. That's not the initial discussion here.

I disagree with you. First, I think the plan was to sink 4e so that its fans would go to the next edition, and then WotC and the big guy come out as heroes. It may seems weird, but thinking a little back, it's clear that the changes they made weren't to please 4e fans. Also, Mearls actually...

Simple options are good. However, looking back to that controversy, I inevitably reach the same conclusion as you: it was meant to fail. Basically, 4e was scuttled and then people used the "failure" of the edition as an argument against pretty much every single idea from 4e. Honestly, the...

"Archetypes", as you described, are fun. However, things which are learned, and nigh-random genetic abilities are hard to define in such mechanical context, if they ever need to be expressed by something other than overall character building. Genetic abilities through a family line are much more...

What about a Tongue of Tongues? ... No?...

I'm still waiting for the Barbarian's Handbook.

Seems good, although I'll never understand why the Shadow Weave is not responsible for actual shadow magic. They're so nice together.

"Teeth/Tooth" as magical items are a great idea. Also, demiliches have soul gems in place of their teeth.

It's not clear which idea you're talking about...

Thank you, guys! Things are much clearer, now. I'm afraid that the information in the Forgotten Realms' deities books is valid for FR games XD I can use them, however. I was just in doubt about more "generic" rules. It seems that the priesthoods in Legends & Lore are meant for human use. Which...

Apparently, by default, specialty priests use the cleric experience table. Am I correct?

Thank you, it answered some of my questions ^^

Well, I think each has the right to say what goes in his/her table, but... The problem I have with giving humans racial benefits by region or something alike is that these things are learned rather than natural talent. Learned things are represented in RPGs by NWP, skills, backgrounds or...

Just finishing my previous thoughts: Ok, I stand corrected about level limits. It’s not that I actually like level limits. They enforce the “worse now, better later/better now, worse later” dichotomy that I don’t like. However, the system runs on that (although not as strongly as some people may...

Right now, I’m about to finish reading my initial wave of 2e books. It has been an amazing reading so far, and I’m inclined to continue. However, I have some questions that need to be answered before actual play begins. If anyone knows any answer, I’m thankful if shared. While reading the...
