Scale. The level 1 fighter is fighting a couple of Orc brigands on the road leading into town. The level 20 fighter is fighting a group of Blood Shaman Grazuul's elite bodyguard orc at the peak of a volcano while trying to interfere with Grazuul's ritual to awaken a primordial locked at it's heart.

Each class should have three builds that fit into each role: a support class, a defender class, and a controller class. Striker damage should be rolled into each. Maybe future splatbooks could introduce a "generalist" build that is more versatile. At least in combat. In the other two pillars I...

Just have it as it is in 4E. Spells of level x are available at level x. This was a good thing for the game. The former counter intuitive spell system chased away too many new players.

Eldritch Bolt Feystep Dragonbreath Storm Pillar Thunder Wave Fireball Aegis of Assault Aegis of Ensnarement Aegis of Shielding Lashing Asp Dimensional Thunder Teleporting Strike Blazing Starfall Chromatic Orb Chaos Bolt All of these should be in 5E too.

Do you think retraining should be in the new edition of D&D? I think it should be in 5E and be allowed at a greater rate than what was done in 4E. Retraining allows people the option to not have to start a new character every time WotC puts out a splat book and there shouldn't be a "Only...

You are downplaying how thoroughly the "maybe in a later splat book" option is thrashing both the yes and no options.

Alignment is one of the few things that I think 4E absolutely did wrong and was one of the first things I house ruled. There are 9 alignments and that is something that should not change. Especially if it's only because WotC wanted 4E to mirror it's miniature game.

The gunslinger was introduced to Pathfinder a while back with the Ultimate Combat supplement and it's been a popular addition to D&D. Even before Paizo introduced it there was a large calling among fans for firearm rules (especially in Eberron) I think it should be core in 5E to prove that WotC...

As someone who will play either Pathfinder or 4E I have a hard time believing the target audience are people who play either.

I meant for this to be in the New Horizons forum and not in the 4E forum.

Depends. Does Skyrim count?

I'm talking about the hamfisted way they forced the 4E races like Tieflings, Dragonborn, and Eladrin into Eberron + the changes to dragonmarks specifically. Opinions? Should Eberron be retconned in 5E?

Any word on it's role in 5E/how close to launch we can expect support for it?

All of them.

The latter wouldn't sell well because there isn't enough of a potential consumer base.

LEVEL If they do more than 4E did with 21-30, I'm all for level 1-30. If they can't be bothered. Just do 1-20. 4E powers Good VANCIANT SYSTEM (3.x caster mechanic) I like what 4E did with it. Basically gives only certain classes access to vancian magic. It gave the arcane power source it's own...

The PC's are racing another adventuring group to find the attack plans of an evil warlord. The warlord is a giant. And he is big enough to make the airships that both parties are using look like a dragonfly in comparison. The key to get into the container containing the invasion plans was...

4E conversion of Red Hand of Doom would be most welcome.

On top of the highest mountain there is a [INSERT LEVEL APPROPRIATE BEASTIE HERE] that has set up camp. He/She/It has a ritual that has enslaved/sapped the power of various storm related primal beings. This has caused a major cluster:):):):) storm to gather around the mountain that even the gods...

A.) They should be hidden away. B.) There should be three roles. No striker role. Everyone wants to be able to deal damage. C.) Each class should have three basic builds - One that suits the controller role, one that suits the defender role, and one that suits the support role. They don't need...
