Well SWSE gave feats and talents. Feat Talent Feat Talent Etc. I would poll for feats and then big or micro if response was yes. Talent trees or equivalent eg warlock template would consider if archetypes got nuked. Neither if polling was overwhelming for basic. I suspect feats...

We have seen dragon Sorcerers. Wizards kinda neh until much later.

4d6 drop the lowest. Saw a lot of 4d6 drop the lowest roll until you get what you want.

Enchanter power crept out and doesn't become good until level 10. That level 10 ability though.....

5.5 one is plenty good and front loaded where people actually play. Its ahead of the wizard imho easily at levels that matter.

I was thinking buff spels. Played this year and some had 17 strength or 18 but not fighters. Transmuted cast strength on them essentially bring them close enough to the 18/XYZ players.

Forgot them. ACKs 1 about the same as B/X. Better in some ways worse in others. Pathfinder ahead of 3.5 not by much. Most clones similarity edition based on. Ahead if they improved it (OD&D ones generally ).

Fair enough. I have to play AD&D with modern players. They can grow the 2E Rules easier than 1E. I've played 1E but never run it. Late to the party (started 1993).

More than most. You could mitigate it a bit but I think that was rare.

5E golden age imho.

Great book but thief needs redone and level 36 are issues;).

I want unified ability scores and probably a engine to power D&D. . B/X. 5E and household 1.5 (2E with 1E add ons) are about the best it gets.

I compared PHB to PHB. . 5E golden age imho was 2016-19. Strahd, Xanathars, Eberron, Tomb of Annihilation, Ghosts of Saltmarsh etc. 5.5 needs to have a few hits sooner rather than later imho. I've also played some older material recently so not relying on nostalgia or Nandela memories.

Figured that out in 2E. We had a dual wielding fighter solo a lich, dragon and marilith one after the other 1 per round. . Fighter saves they shrugged off save or sucks and AC was 27 or 28 in modern rules.

Hard to do still testing it out. Its better than 5.0 imho and I woukd probably rate that dsirly high by D&D edition standards. BUT 10 years of 5.0 no matter how good 5.5 is the excitement can't be there. So i would give it +0.5-1 point over 5.0in a vacuum. Positives. 1. Generally...

Almost all the popular modules were level 1-8. The monsters topped out around then as well. Balors had 8+8 HD. Excepton was demon web pits. The epic levels were essentially 10-14 though. B/X only went to 14. Level 20 as default wasn't until 2E.

Not cagiebess. Hope. They don't explicitly promise. Also did you hear what you wanted to hear?

In hindsight I probably wouldn't pick a fighter without an 18 rolled. 17 would be a maybe. 2E fighter with fighter handbook or combat and tactics was better than 1E fighter BTW.

Not worth doing. Stripped down 5E 2914 was your simple version. If I was doing 6E vs a 5E revision I woukd be asking the simple vs complex divide and provide examples/explain what you mean. By then its 15-20 years since 5.0 landed and close to 20 since 5.0 playtest. .

Those rules were in the 1st DMG. People thought they would get total conversion mods and tgat was never promised. What they went was you coukd select different types of complex classes inspired by previous editions. Some people literally thought they were going to do a 1E fighter, 4E...
