We could get rid of action types by using Action Points (like those in Fallout computer game or its' p'n'p variant).

What if we shuffled healing to minor actions, as it is in 4e? Would it solve the problem a bit?

Nitpick: those are 4 options. As for me, I'd like flowery prose, AD&D style not Gygax style, for fluff and rules close to 4e, but easier to find. EDIT: However, Minigiant's idea (with bolding) is brilliant, and I wish I could xp him.

I agree completely. This way alignment could be placed conveniently in a module and everyone could have their choice.

True, and there is no reason to shy away from such topics or to present them in immature ways (chainmail bikini is an example). I'd prefer it if D&D Next was similar in style to OD&D or AD&D - that is, fluff and rules both, without unnecessary redundancy or "using short words and short...

I want themes to support each of the pillars equally. So, one feat per pillar. And if themes should improve, they should improve upon advancing a tier, not in some different way.

Retraining doesn't work this way. And about D&D Next - I'd be happy to see optional retraining of feats/skills/themes as an optional module.

I think we know too little about themes to say anything now. I guess themes will be better in use than individual feats were in 3e/4e, due to their grouping and (I hope) clear naming.

What is RAP? As for the player who says 'I roll Diplomacy' - just force him to role-play instead of rolling. Ban on rolling social skills...

I know, that's why I wanted to give both warrior types and wizard types same mechanics. Later, I decided I wanted to do a low-magic world, so those cinematic effects require deity favor points. Also, I intend to separate class and attack (i.e. combat) effectiveness, just making Melee Attack and...

My wallpaper shows Viconia DeVir from Baldur's Gate. I don't remember where I found it. I only tweaked it to be grayscale...

Decided on using d6s, but without changing the scale. After all, ease is the prime goal of this ruleset.... Renamed "advantages" to "developments" and started pruning them a bit. Thinking on a new skill list.

Is this about D&D Next or some other system?

Love this LP so far!

@ up: Maybe the idea that the skills contribute to attributes? (btw where was it mentioned?) To me, the stats looks nice, not-overly-long. Just the thing I'd aim for in D&D Next.

Maybe it would be good if we combined some of the NWP's that got culled with 3e/4e (latter feats notwithstanding) into more skills and used a tiered skill system...

My list of 'feats which shouldn't be feats': - any of the +x feats - precise shot - track Possibly: - weapon finesse Work with little changes: - power attack - combat expertise

I'm thinking of using several d6s and keeping the numbers and adding a bonus from the 1-100 scale. Also, I want to detach combat skills from classes/number of "advantages" and I want to reduce "advantages", especially those that only give +x bonus. In the future, I might consider removing...

I wish I could XP you, Minigiant!

I see "Basic & Advanced" happening in D&D Next... the core is Basic and the additional modules are Advanced. It's just a matter of names.
