Hey all, thanks for posting. I swiped a ton of images from this thread. Here are some random ones from my collection of (hopefully) creativity provoking images. Not my work, ofc.

I guess if I'm being honest, my negative reaction to the playtest packet 7 feats is just distaste for having to learn a new and different system for the trivial purpose of satisfying my curiosity. There's nothing inherently bad about the feats being smaller and more numerous. What I'd insist...

I'd never seen any of the playtest materials before and looked up playtest packet 7 because everything you mention in the OP seems awesome. Emphasis on levels 1-11, more damage dice instead of extra attack, no bonus actions, most skill proficiency moved to backgrounds, more complex fighters...

My intent was to suggest a novel way to do character creation, based on Tasha's optional rules, and discuss its implications and how much appeal it has. As other's have noted, the difference between optional rules and house rules is a pretty nebulous one. It wasn't meant to be a sticking point...

It's a custom lineage PC built with the Elven Blood feat you invented--which I quoted in the reply and which I then reiterated by stating that said octopoid "has elven blood" +3 to Strength, proficiency in greatswords (since forge cleric doesn't get martial weapons), and BB as a bonus cantrip...

I guess I'm nitpicking--and I've avoided this point of argument so far--but that really seems like a noodley semantic distinction to me. Lets say, for sake of argument, that the folks at WOTC release Plane Shift: flibbity flobbity floop. In PS:FFF, the elves have +2 Constitution, +1 Charisma...

I categorically object to your premise! shortbow is clearly a simple weapon and not a martial weapon. Also, my 18 Str plate-armored anthropomorphic octopoid forge cleric booming blades you with his +1 blessing of the forge'd greatsword. He has elven blood... but is definitely not power gaming...

I think I wasn't as circumspect in my reply to you as I intended. Again, as conceded, there's lots excellent of free verse poetry. As a form, it is neither better nor worse than poetry with rhyme, meter, or other constraints. But constraints help in aggregate and on average, they work...
