If it even one of its restrictions was relaxed, it would be useful. If the "On your next turn" restriction was changed to "your next attack", like the 3E version, you could at least use it with a Quickened spell or weapon attack this turn.

It's less useful than that, really. The duration is "Concentration, up to 1 round", not 10 rounds. Even if the duration was longer, you need to be able to see your target, and that target must be within 30 feet. So it seems the uses for True Strike are: Quicken TS, used with a cantrip...

Don't tease us, let's see it! :)

One would think that easy access to healing would encourage the KITD play style, not encourage pussyfooting.

The Rogue (Arcane Trickster) gets an ability at 17th level called Spell Thief, although that's probably way too late to build a character around.

I don't think it applies in this scenario, since 5E TS requires a target. It grants its effects against that particular target, not your next attack like 3E TS did.

Perhaps you could say that 1st level characters get triple, but don't actually start gaining hp until 4th level. So, you're not increasing the total across the board, just giving the low level characters increased survivability.

I don't know anything about 4E dwarves, but pre-4E dwarves had an AC bonus against giants:

Really? Power Attack can be changed from round to round, but Spell DC is pretty much fixed, except for buffs. When I played a 3.0 sorceror, I made a chart on my spell sheet that had default values filled in: Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Known Per Day DC If a buff would change those values, I'd...

I had never heard of Domains before 3E, but I noticed they bore a striking similarity to the Spheres concept from 2E. Is that what you're referring to? I actually like the Spheres better, since they allowed more differentiation between clerics of disparate deities. Sure, the peaceful deity...

If Turn Undead becomes a feature of Good domain clerics/champions, then you'll have to think of something else for the Sun domain to do. Otherwise, you have a domain that's totally dependent on another domain to have any use.

This sounds a bit like the Shugenja from Complete Divine.

The barbarian in our last group consumed the heart of a recently slain dragon, and after 3 successive Fort saves (where failure of any one would mean the guy just could not go through with it, presumably), the DM granted him +2 Str and +4 Con.

This pushes the Fighter class even more in the direction of a dip class, I would think.

This sounds a lot like the Dervish Dance ability from the Dervish PrC (Complete Warrior).

No, it looks like you have it covered, in exactly the same way as the core books do, with different names (except for the healing spells broken out into a separate "school"). Were you looking for alternate names for the existing schools of magic, or were you looking for a different breakdown?

Don't have the book in front of me, but it basically allows you to treat scimitars as light weapons. The benefits of this, as I see it, is that you can apply the Weapon Finesse feat and can TWF at minimum penalty. But, does this mean that you can no longer Power Attack?

Speaking of d4s, I once saw some "rollable" d4s. They looked like d8s, but had 2 each of the numbers 1-4. I haven't been able to find any at my FLGS. Any idea where to look?

The paladin in our last epic campaign used a double sword, and the DM allowed him to add 1.5x Str to all damage rolls, including when TWF. Is that not how it works?

The point of making your character strong is so Strength-based tasks are easier. If you're just going to slide the scale around because a character is particularly strong, why should that player bother to boost his Strength? Are you also going to give the enemies more hp because this PC is...
