It never worked that way because.... designers and fans would not get over their biases to facilitate others. Heres a funny thing. A high level fighter doesn't actually have to be that supernatural. Because D&D heavily downplays the deadliness of a trained warrior and the gulf of threat a...

Just have a generic Technique list with all of that which runs on Focus points. Feature: Spells Resource: Spell Slots Main user: Wizards, Clerics, Bards Feature: Maneuvers Resource: Superiority Main user: Fighters, Champions Feature: Techniques Resource: Focus Main user: Monks Feature...

Fighter don't need to be wuxia. Fighters do need to be able to level powerwise to an Archmage. Just how Barbarians with enough levels become the Incredible Hulk. Now I think there should be a "wuxia" class.

I understand that. My point is it's all the same system just different slices of it. You can just cut off the slice that you want and play by that approach. You can make a game where 1e/2e in the front, 4e at the end, and 3e/5e in the middle. And people can just play the parts they are...

I'm not saying RPGs is just math. I'm saying that a fighter, cleric, and elf in every edition are on the same line. Just at different points The points just create different feels and offer different options. Procedures is a table discussion.

Yes Numbers and rider effects. Going from +2 to hit. 1d6+2 damage to +8 to hit, 3d6+4 damage + Prone or 4d8+4 damage It's just numbers.

Human nature.

It's literally just level ranges. Dandy fans have no problem categorizing what power level a magical effect is within the number range of 1 to 9 for spell levels and 20 class levels. But categorizing where a long range sword strike or a high damage siege worthy axe strike belongs in a level...

It's not that crazy YEs I've played other RPGs. You do realize every version of D&D uses the same resolution system as the main mechanic just with different numbers, formulas, and ranges? 1d20+X vs DC Y If equal or greater, do AdB+C or Effect 1 If lower, sometimes half or Effect 2

I do. A Shadowdark fighter is just numbers go up. You can put that beside a 4E weaponmaster and a 3e wizard. Just get the number right.

What I am saying those style of play are not incompatible. They are different set of classes and species at different levels.

Yes. You do.

We do all want the same 6e. Just different level ranges of it. That's the problem. Everyone fights to stretch their preferred level range over other fans'.

You can hit all the power everyone wants in 35 levels. But some groups will start at level 1, some level 10, some level -3, and some level 20.

Nah I think the people want 6E. The issue is the designers and fandom can't get over their own personal biases to facilitate fans not like themselves

Personally, if make 0th level play its own box. The 5e sweet spot is a sweet spot for a reason. D&D fans like their PCs competent but easy to run. Novice: Levels -2 to 0. Simple incompetent PCs. Heroic: Levels 1-10 Simple competent PCs. Paragon: Level 11-20 Advanced master PCs Epic: Level...

Yeah to me, a subclass that invokes a secondary stat should have something more. Fighter SubclassSecondary ScoreUses Focus Battle MasterNoneManeuversDamage + Control "Brute"Constitution????Raw Damage ChampionNoneCriticalsRaw Damage GladiatorGladiatorWeapon MasteriesDefense + Control...

Burning Hot take It's should be Charisma score use per Long rest and you regain Proficiency mod on Short Rest. Then the high level feature and the parry could cost multiple uses. The lack of utilization of Ability Score in 5e is a travesty

Nah. IMO, the Gladiator and the Weapon Master are similar but very different in style. The Gladiator should be like a WWE/WCW wrester who uses there Charisma to feed off their allies, enemies, and the crowd to empower their offense and defense. It would be more focused on raw power over...

What if spells above level 5 are assumed as treasure that you only get by finding them or taking a special subclass/species If you want wish you need to do a quest for or kill a mage who has it.
