Rogue is weird. You can do a lot of damage with dual-wielding boot blading sneak attacking fools, but you are squishy and too many ways of setting up sneak attack require you to sacrifice a full attack.

Um, what? I don't think clerics have ever been bad at melee. Rogues are another story.

Get char-opers to test your game.

That's not a fix. Poor game design justified by "they can make their own things" is not a good thing. And again, we get back to our special heroes who are basically being told, no, you can't because...no. This isn't some "I want to have all the money in the world" wish, this is "I want to...

But the monsters really should follow the same rules as players. If the third-level orc has whirlwind attack, but you are playing an orc fighter at third level and you can't get whirlwind attack, that makes no damn sense and needs to die. We don't need another edition with THREE different...

So long as it's somewhere in the book, yes. Otherwise you get dumb rules loopholes.

I would like to see all the monsters with class levels, this way PCs can play monsters. Of course, it's more important to deliberately design level adjustment to encourage people to play an elf, thanks to Gygax and his little "only powergamers want to play monsters, sou you should let them...

Do the skill challenges sync up to whatever the current rules for skill challenges are?

Hooray for contentless articles, which are not wastes of time!

Eh, drop the shared actions stuff, that never worked well.

I'd be pretty happy seeing animate dead as a ritual. Though I might replace Bigby's crushing hand above with wail of the banshee. And planar binding kinda doesn't work on the list above as it requires dimensional anchor and magic circle against x. They definitely could cut down on the list by...

Hey, what the heck? No animate dead?

Eh, I could see them bringing cleric & druid back down to 7 levels. Which podcast?

The fighter concept, at its core, caps out at an earlier level than the magic users. That is, while magic users eventually gain abilities like summoning critters, solving problems, flying, teleporting, and seeing the future, the fighter still hits things with a stick. How do you propose to fix...

This the same game with the feat taxes and the 200+ pages of errata?

What, exactly, is supposed to balance a 1e-style no-options PC against a PC loaded up with powers, skills, and feats? EDIT: More questions! Are you actually going to submit the system to destructive playtesting by known optimizers and (the kicker) listen to what they have to say? Is throwing...

I suspect GW's business model will have to be rethought once 3-D printers become more common. Because when I can print a cool space tank, I don't need to follow the GW motto: Thirty-five dollars. Six plastic men.

I fully support murdering the Lady of Pain and taking her stuff. I want 50% of the cut.

And, as a player, I say "Bored now...can I get one that lets me teleport or something?"
