i'm not a fan of extending ranges to one mile.
so now al battles where players have control of where battles take place the wizrds gets good number of rounds before even the range enemies can attack without ranged penalty
Maybe something like signature spells.
at 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th level you chose one spell that you can cast.
when you cast that spell you treat it as if you used a spell slot 1 level higer then the spellsot you used.
It depends on your playstyle.
In our campaigns enemies tend to make sure characters are actualy dead unless they want to take prisoners.
combines with some low level melee undead they are very scary, each atack being 2 failed death saves.
I hope they will think outside the box of subclasses seeing them add a 4th option to tome blade and book might be interesting.
When it comes to patrons a Ghost patron could be nice.
basicly the ghost has one task it must complete before it can move on tho the next world and needs a body to...
One thing I found problimatic with the 3.X prestige classes is that there wasen't much prestige to them, just a alternative set of a bilities.
I hope that if they do something with prestige it will be linked to prestige in game.
Not being abilities you just pick up, but linked to being part of...
A oger might just be a big strong monster with a club especialy at later levels, but at lower levels a ogre might be the end boss of a dungeon/adventure.
In the second case the Ogre is more like a enemy NPC then just a monster and a Dm might want to add something to make him stand out more.
It...
One thin that isen't working out as intended when to comes to the 5th editon rules is inpiration.
Most groups i have seen just don't bother with inpiration as written.
It requires the Dm to track 5 things per character to grand inspiration.
getting inspiration doesen't realy work as a motivator...
lets see what happesn if I give it a quick attempt with a adult blur dragon from 4th edition.

Are the players part of a larger resistance against Albeorn ?
If so Albeorn might be willing to sacrifice Praetor Krul to find the location of the rebel base.
So if Praetor Krul dies a magical efect triggers a and th players can roll a arcana check to sind out what the effect did.
with a roll...
I would like some more crunch but not for crunch sake.
So no complete book of X where they are just coming up with subclasses to fill a book.
But for example something more like a book about desert cultures, that has subclasses, magic items. rules options monters and feats for runing a...
In that case you might need iron from another source.
For example iron that is grown biologicly, for example a Gorgon has iron skin and it is grown as the Gorgon is neither a condtruct or a elemental.
another source of biological iron might be to distill in from blood.
Giving to much info during a sesion as you want to keep moving and there is not a lot of time to digest all information.
So you might want to give some information before the camapign starts.
also you can spread out information over your players, so each can have their I know this moment, and...
Wel the drow smith might have built in a safe guard to stay on the good side of loth, if the sword is used aganst a spider or spider like creature the damge the weapon deels is reduced to 0.
It was made as a desperate act maybe ment to me used on a suicide mission, but is powerfull enough that...
erl you could use a 5th edition mechanic.
maybe if the moon is positive for you all spells you cast are treated as if you used a spell slot one level higer.
and if the moon is bad for you aply the same efect but negative so during a bad moon you would onlu fire 2 magic missiles instead of 3...
The only place I can see where one might run into truble is with the policy they seem to have about only adding things never taking away.
So when designing a subclass you might be "stuck" with some features of the base class that don't fit well and you can't get rid of.
Banyan Trees / fig trees can have aireal roots that can grow back into themselves giving them a realy strange look.
A drageon would have plently of time to have these pruned and guided into growing into it's lair
