I find myself indifferent to most of 5e's art, but that standard cover amuses me.

I like the idea. I had been thinking of giving Remarkable Athlete to all Fighters, to show their physical prowess, and if the Fighter gets it also from a second source (well, basically the Champion subclass) then it applies to rolls the Fighter is proficient in too. But I kinda like the keen...

Ah, ok, thanks for clearing that up. Somehow I missed that part, and the number of names by each choice not equaling the number of votes next to each choice was even more confusing. As I have only ever DMed 5e and never played, I don't have anything to contribute to the data.

Is it just my computer, or are the % numbers all wonky for everyone else too? I rounded down to the nearest 5, and still got a total of 140%.

I think it is very elegant. I like the simple designation of Near or Far, and the simple way range is handled. I take it an Evoker wouldn't have to count extra for engaged allies. So speedy characters don't lose out on the benefit of their speed, perhaps the chance of using a reaction to...

This looks like fun. A lot of fun. Usually I find the process of making new characters to be somewhat tedious, but now I am looking forward to it with these charts. *random gleefulness*

If the fighter is a class that is supposed to be 100% dedicated to physical combat, then the areas I would expect them to shine in are bravery and physical prowess. Because if 100% of your shtick is mixing it up with sharp pointy things against things that want to kill you, then I can't see the...

The more I think about this, the more I like it. It would allow for a burly swashbuckler type fighter. It would allow for disarming a burly swashbuckler type to be a great strategy. It would allow for the heavy armor wearer attacked in the middle of the night not wearing their armor to grab...

Damage reduction for medium armor equal to the character's strength modifier? Damage resistance on any hit that bests their armor class but not their strength score?

Well, Voloa needs a nemesis, right? We should ask Elminstera, bet she'd know!

How to make a female name for any species:Take pretty much anything, slap an "a" on the end. Sooo much lazy. Still looking forward to Xanathar's, though.

I would love turn based. I like to relax when I play computer games and think about strategy. I want a party to make and control, too, not just one character. Heck, my husbandtobe and me used to play the old D&D games together at the same computer, each controlling half the party. I am not into...

Another great benefit to ranged that I found in play was the ability to be able to hit the right target. Choice of target for any combatant is anything within reach or range, and ranged combatants just have a lot more to choose from. They have an easier time focus firing because any obstacle...

One possibility is to let martial characters have one defensive and one offensive fighting style. Then the offensive and defensive styles can be balanced against their kind, rather than against each other.

I hate the speshul class open only to elves or dwarves thing with a passion. Why can't a human raised by elves be that class, or a halfling reflavor it to speshul halfling flavor class, or someone who finds favor with elves later multiclass into speshulness? I am all for restricting what races...

I think the idea of humans as baseline went out the window decades ago. When I started playing, humans got no bonuses or penalties to stats, and they could be any class and reach high levels. Demihumans got bonuses and minuses to stats, and special abilities, and it was "balanced" by being...

Heh, "Have a flower! And a pamphlet! We love you! Now join our cause!" That would actually be pretty hilarious. But if going on max hps, does it make sense for it to work better or worse by Hit Dice size, or for Constitution to be basically the only stat that applies to protecting characters...

Yup, I see Saving Throws as more analogous to Hit Points than to Armor Class, as the thing that stand between a character and certain unwanted conditions. I didn't like the idea of tying the effects to current Hit Points that was discussed during the playtest, for several reasons. For one I...

Well, it is somewhat worse for wear; I transferred to my laptop to post and it didn't like the change in Word versions. The lines got all crooked, though I straightened them as best I could. The attachment in Word was really wonky, so I ended up turning it into a PDF to post. Well, it was never...

I have been using my homebrewed 2e AD&D sheet I once threw together on Word, because me and my group like the of layout. It isn't quite right for 5e, though. I started an update for 5e but haven't really figured out yet on what I want t change and add to the layout. I should go look at more of...
