One thing I would like to raise seeing as it is always put forward as an answer is that time limits can only be used so many times before they feel contrived or an admittance to a lack of other answers. I have played with a DM who put time limits on everything and it got to the point where we...

For most editions just about anything that is good about exploration is provided by the DM and the players not the rules or mechanics.

It would have to wait for an edition change but I would like to see a rethink how abilities, skills and spell work and are presented. I wish to see less one and done (one roll or use solves) or skip issue and more interaction, more sideways growth and more incremental/levels of success/failure...

Have a look at my races redone thread, we had a crack at the Human with no stat ups as per new racial mechanic standards.

Whilst Kobold Press puts out Grade A material, given how much of this book has already appeared in other books I cannot help but feel I am paying full price for half a book.

Simple Magic caster As an action shoot an Arcane Bolt 120ft range uses Int mod des 1d8 + Int damage. 1 per rest you can make bolt do 20ft rd. Every so many levels up damage dice or number of dice. Gain detect magic a couple of times a day done.

What are the defining non cultural traits of Gnomes. Short, curious and a big nose?

As the Dragonborn is going to be in Fizban's lets move on to the Gnome, for some reason Gnomes are seeing a surge in popularity. Personally I prefer the 4e Fey Gnome.

OK lets Do the Human: Versatility: Gain 1 Skill Proficiency, 1 Tool Proficiency and 1 Language Prodigy: Gain Expertise in a skill or tool that you are proficient in. Human Determination: Once per Rest gain advantage on an single attack roll, ability check or save. Outlier: Choose 1 stat, this...

What about an ability that reduces stat requirements on multiclassing by 2? I was also thinking of being able to raise the ceiling of a stat by 2.

Next on the list Humans +1 Stat all the way um ok we're removing stat bumps what's left......the discussion on what makes a human not a pointy eared human or short human or a short and grumpy human. Two words I think are the key for going forward with human non stat driven mechanical design...

Racial feats may be something I will visit once the races are done, maybe even investigate some racial backgrounds and subclasses.

I like the last one its more than just about their size and ties to the group. Too many things for Halflings speak to their size only.

Targets in melee range already provide cover.

Or just have the Rogue check for traps and pick any locks, zero resources bar time spent and a near zero chance of failure. Mind you anyone in that group could have the Perception skill and Thieves Tools Proficiency.

I am considering it as it fits and it is a great shout out to early Gnome design.

Back to our scheduled Halfling: Speed 25ft Lucky as per PHB but add Once per Long rest gain advantage on a single Ability Check, Save or Attack Roll. Brave as per PHB but also add on a successful save against a fear effect gain 1d10 + Proficiency Bonus Temp HP. Halfling Nimbleness as per PHB...

Will cross that bridge when we get there.

I wonder why Twiggly the Gnome jumped the queue straight to Gnomes.....wouldn't be some kind of bias would it? lol
