I was thinking of trying to figure out a way to split the difference. No ability score mods for races, but rather have saving throw proficiencies tied to race rather than class to maintain the "this race has an inherent tie to this ability score and has an advantage with certain classes" feel...

My only complaint about the SCAG is that it didn't include a subclass option for each class because of complaints that certain classes were shortchanged by the book, creating some ill will by class partisans even if they are perfectly served by the current subclasses in the PHB. Otherwise, this...

I kind of wish Rages were based on short rest renewal. I realize that would be a buff at some tables and a nerf at others (maybe 1 rage per short rest at level 1, 2 per short rest at level 6 and 3 per short rest at level 13-14ish, unlimited at 18ish). As it is, it is fine, but the fact that they...

"Minor Flaw = Proficiency Major Flaw = Feat" Looks about right to me.

Great work. Nice layout too.

I just say let Natural Explorer applies to all terrains and let the Ranger be all Rangery... instead of "umm, guys, we have left the desert and are in the grasslands now, I can't help you forage as well since I am no longer in my preferred terrain" even if it has some basis in reality. I kind of...

If you need more monsters go for the MM. If you need more magic items go for the DMG. It really depends on the type of campaign you are running in the near future. I would get them both eventually if I could.

It is just a bit more limited than it might be because the features fall at 3, 6, and 14 rather than being spread out a bit more evenly. Subclass features at 10 and 18 would definitely allow a bit more flexibility in even dropping in a couple of "ribbon" type abilities. I realize that the Bard...

It will be interesting to see how they handled Favoured Souls if they ever get around to them now that bonus spells for Sorcerers are off the table. I do agree that bonus spells made the PHB sorcerous origins unattractive in comparison since spells known was one of their big limiting factors. I...

I get that... in theory. This early in the edition though there are still a lot of concepts within the base classes that don't have full support. Obviously, you don't want to release anything "half assed," but I think partisans of the classes that are overlooked on each go around will feel that...

I hope WOTC includes a full subclass in future Adventurer's Guides for each core class. There is always going to be a sense of disappointment among partisans of particular classes even if it is not a subclass that they would ever use if they don't get equal treatment with the other classes.

I would like to ultimately see alternate versions of all the core classes to help focus them conceptually a little better in UA. The Wizard is "just about done" in my view. The Ranger seems to be too far away from most people's expectations so should get a rebuild sooner (even though I think...

I think it is working as intended. But it may be a campaign level power jump for certain campaign styles. If you are in that boat and the ritual system doesn't work for you, I would just get rid of rituals in full or only allow it on a limited case by case basis.

All of them. Everything that has been published in previous editions plus new ones. Yes, Brownies, Satyrs, Vampires... possibly give them classes too where appropriate. Ye Olde Big Book of Races.... I would buy that. Although I think having an eye on campaign settings is probably the way to go...

Yeah, I made that mistake in the 2e to 3e conversion with a high level party. The fighter did not fare well in that changeover. We kind of hit the high level 3e math issues quicker than many, but we though that we were doing something wrong, it didn't occur to us that the problem was more systemic.

OK, yeah, I see from a DM's perspective where this thing would fall down. As a player, I would expect a conversion document to be like this. Maybe they just should push out a Monster Manual II sooner rather than later and a book of updated magic items. I think that would probably help fill a lot...

Actually, this might be a pretty good chassis for a revised Ranger class. It feels "about right" for a Ranger who has a strong anti-undead favored enemy bias in any case if you added a few more nature features.

I don't know how it works in actual play, but conceptually it looks very well designed aesthetically. Impressive. Now I want to see a whole bunch more base classes.
