    Can you slide or push an enemy into a square you cant see ???????

    RAW, No you cannot. In a WOTC Podcast, they discuss this topic. . The Podcast example was pushing a target behind a tree, which would block your line of effect. Mike Meals explained that in 'his' home game he would allow this, even thought RAW doesn't allow this

    Does that mean that a "sacred Cow" is a "minion" with unlimited Temporary HP's ?

    Tiers as Treasure

    Doesn't sound like any edition of D&D I ever played, and not a way would ever choose to play. For myself, I want to see my char go up in levels & get more "things" to do, fight tougher foes. No interest in being 1st level for more than the briefest of time. Certainly not 6,000 adventures!

    Get Rid of Proficiencies

    Prof add a way to let some char to be better at some weapons than others. That is why we "martial" & "simple" weapons (etc). So Yes, I like a prof system, & want a prof system.

    I so agree with you.................. To answer the OP, no I have NOT given up on 5eNext, that would unthinkable since the game barely exists. I am unsure that WOTC can produce the product as promised, yet am very hopeful that they can. I think time will tell, waiting with a unreasonable...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next is a crappy name.

    I think it is a muti-corprrate plot, have you seen 'Pepsi Next' ? Pepsi counts on Next to lure back lost drinkers | Reuters Pepsi counts on "Next" to lure back lost drinkers

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Lingua Franca, or 5e really, REALLY needs to create it's own new "space"

    At conventions like GenCon ,PaxEast & many local cons, I have run "learn to play D&D", which draws both old gamers & total noobs. The on-going campaigns might be another issue. Both GenCon & PaxEast draw all types of gamer hardcore & noob alike, who want to try the newest D&D edition without...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Lingua Franca, or 5e really, REALLY needs to create it's own new "space"

    At Game Conventions, I have taught dozens, maybe hundreds to play 4E & create 4E chars with no problems. Most gamers are playing 4E in under 10 mins and understand enough to play. Jargon never seems to hinder anyone from learning quickly. As to "(2W + your enemy has to dance the Macarena until...

    Exchanging Feats

    It works fine in 4E, it is called retraining. It makes a poor feat choice, not impact the char for the char life. It also ofter more choices as new books are published.

    Any news on playtesting?

    If you are that impatient, You could go to PaxEast and play 5eNext there, or do you think all the people who played 5eNext at DDXP were playing a 'non-existent' game?

    Character creation as playing D&D

    It all depends on your gaming group, my Thurs night 4E LFR game only Two of the guys use Char-Ops. They may do a small bit more damage, but none of the other guys seem to mind. Often as we play the not 'char-op' ask questions about different powers and feats. You must be in an arms race with...

    Character creation as playing D&D

    Or..............your could have ignore char op forums, picked a pally build, took the recomended choices, tinkers for a few mins............ending up with quick useful, probably fun Paladin. Saved yourself needless hours, but do 20.31416 HP of damage less per encounter. And n a role-playing...

    How much rules are too much rules?

    And I hope you get that in 5eNext, but would less or more rules affect that? Isn't that more of a style of play rather than a rules this?
