I said this elsewhere, but -especially looking at these stat blocks- the new books have a bit of a 4E vibe.

Interesting. More of a 4E vibe with how some of the things are written.

●Yes, the monk would be used as a worked example to see how a similar idea was implemented within the framework of 5e. Figure out what works, what doesn't, and why; then go from there. Later, I also cited possible inspiration from the 5e sorcerer, 5e warlock, and 4e psionic classes. More...

Without the faux French accent, I can't in good conscience support your post.

I looked, and I was wrong. Looks to be about 5 years. Mentally, I think it somehow all blended into the little bit of 3.0 I played and the beginning of Pathfinder. Thanks for prompting me to look more into that. So, fall of 2030 for 6th Edition?

3.5 was around for a long time. 4th Edition Essentials lasted about 4 years. If you were to guess, with which path will 5e24 have more in common?

After the success of Balder's Gate, I'm surprised that there is not yet an option to play a Mindflayer.

As far as the point costs in such a system, creating your own math through which to show how it wouldn't work via math chosen to show that it doesn't work isn't something I find convincing. But that's just my opinion on the matter. If glittering smite isn't available until a certain level, it's...

I'm fine with 80s Action movie violence -to an extent. By all means, exaggerating things is part and parcel for fantasy, but I also like to be able to buy into it. Pro Wrestling is a good comparison for about where I think D&D should be. Plenty of things in pro wrestling are ridiculous (i.e...

If you were to multiclass into sorcerer, it still works. You could gain sorcerer slots just like you would before - no change. It's true that the piety points wouldn't work with sorcerer spells. Similarly, a paladin/barbarian doesn't get to benefit from unarmored defense while wearing heavy...

How is it that pieces of the game used to create every character are "isolated," but suggesting that there might be different ways to build 1 class somehow impacts more of the system? Again, if you don't like the proposed idea, fine. It was an idea about a different way of looking at a class...

Not any more complex than what is already done within the context of 5e. Also, multiclassing isn't in any way messed up.

They "solved" the problem by completely changing how it works -and that's apparently acceptable. However, any suggestion that there may have been other ways to approach the issue = "holy moly, the entire game is breaking!" Wtf? •complete overhaul of race/species - fine •complete overhaul of...

Ignore? No. There are options for still doing those things (which I briefly discussed previously). At no point have I said that I would take any of that away. Others have said that. I didn't.

Fair points, but virtually everything you've mentioned could be addressed with very little work. How does it work with multiclassing? No change. It would count as 1/3 of a class for determining how many spell slots it counts toward when multiclassing. Figuring out how something like...

Good points and very true. The same goes for the antagonists. There's no reason why a kobold in a wheelchair should be treated any differently than the others. It's still the same amount of XP.

If I choose one of the old backgrounds, it seems that I also still get the background feature.

I don't feel that accurately reflects what I've said. But I understand that you don't like a paladin moving further away from being a typical caster. The "extra power would need to go somewhere..." No, because that had been addressed in previous comments. Still, you don't like it, so okay. As...

It's not any more work than what was already being done. There were other possible ways for making changes that were still within the 5e framework. The viewpoint that anything outside of giving a class more spell slots and more vancian-esque casting means some massive undertaking is a...

There are options for how to simplify those pieces. Either way, it has been changed. My initial proposal for the points was to say that there are/were options for fixing the parts of Smite that could take inspiration from non-wizards. Allegedly, the wheel was broken. I proposed...
