I have my preferences about HP but it's not a dealbreaker. However, I hate inconsistency. For example, if HP represent dodging blows for example, how can falling cause HP damage? You can't dodge the ground.

While I'm not a fan of sacred cows for beef's sake, I'm not that quick to dispose of them. D&D is an unique game and has to stay unique. If you kill all sacred cows, you risk killing the identity, the spirit of the game. This is unacceptable. It's worth suffering the presence of some sacred cows...

It doesn't really make sense that you can take two 10-minute effective rests per day and all the latter ones do nothing for you. If they are concerned with abuse of resting, they should make it so resting is not cumulative. 10-minute rest - you replenish your HP up to 1/3rd of your total HP*. 1...

I would like opposed rolls but only if all characters can take 10 on attacks and saves. So when I attack I can choose if I roll or not and same with defender. If I fight weak enemy I probably do not roll for either attack or save/defense which speeds the easy combat up and also translates...

Also staying awake when a passenger on the next seat in carriage is telling his life's story.

I wouldn't mind a comic at the back of D&D book, but only if its order of the stick.

I'd add to Dexterity masking your body language.

Just remember, you can't have that kind of feeling with point buy.

I'm gonna quote myself from another thread - this is how I envision this mechanic:

But there will be no scaling, so there's no issue? Unless I misunderstand (which I probably do :) )

But spells will no longer have effects dependant on caster level.

Player's Handbook - 100 pages of rules + 200 pages of character creation and advancement (300p) Dungeon Master's Guide - 100 pages of how to run the game + 200 pages of monsters, traps, diseases etc. (300 pages) Forgotten Realms (or other setting) book - 200-300 pages a 64 page soft cover...

Well first of all it seems that 5e will use vancian slot system again instead of power system of 4e (who know, maybe there will be both). They already said that spells will not scale with level but you will be able to use a higher level slot to cast a more powerful version of a spell. So I...

The thread about combat roles made me think. According to its poll, most people want a member of each class to be able to perform any combat role (striker, tank etc.). What if we expanded this approach to races? Races have always been designed in such a way that they naturally gravitate towards...

What if healing was done in such a way that you want to use it on heavily hurt characters? A healing spell that has variable effect depending on how many HP target has left could add interesting tactics and tension to the game. By variable I mean effect like this: This spells heals target. If...

Just occured to me that this could be expanded upon. Why limit upgrades to damage? Fireball Evocation [Fire] Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (100 ft.) Area: 15 by 15 ft. Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Reflex half Spell Resistance...

You instantly reminded me of this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/317394-people-have-strangest-deal-breakers.html

I don't like the RU mechanic because, among other things, opposed rolls are not intuitive.
