That doesn't work because of below. No, but we never really considered that idea actually. The whole point is to have half a feat coupled with a modest increase to ability. You can't have a half feat if you combine to half feats.

Yep, we currently cap ability scores at 18 in my game. If you want something above 18 you need a magic item to get you there.

That is to bad, I think they made a good point. Not sure I 100% agree with it, but it is relevant. Also, I didn't think they were talking down to you. I think it is more an issue of not talking face to face. These things can be easily misconstrued because of the format (which means I could be...

Yes, but the post I responded to mentioned "the current edition." My list of changes is way back in post #26. After reading through all these ideas I would probably add a few more items too.

You replied to fast! I updated my post as follows: "There is the problem. The current design of the game doesn't accommodate that.* Now, a revision to the game certainly could, but not my personal preference. *To rephrase that: the current design has feats with +1 ability score bonus. You...

There is the problem. The current design of the game doesn't accommodate that.* Now, a revision to the game certainly could, but not my personal preference. *To rephrase that: the current design has feats with +1 ability score bonus. You would eliminate that option if you got rid of ability...

It would just be a +1 mod. However, you would loss the ability to have a half feat with a +1 to ability score if you replaced ability scores with ability modifiers only

pretty close if you change "spells" to "cell phones."

Look, I am not advocating it, I was just to explain the complaint.

Like i said, I would rather keep them and do something more with them rather than axe them.

I disagree, I have definitely seen sentiment like that. I can't be 100% sure it was this thread as I jump around a lot, but I think it has been expressed here. I have specifically seen the idea applied to Shadow of the Weird Wizard / Demon Lord in this very thread. To be clear I believe it is...

Yes, people have talked about Shadowdark both inside and outside this thread. However, that was just an example of the philosophy of take X game and make it D&D

Half - orc then. After all, they can pass as human.

I am not sure either. I like ability scores, but I do wish they were more fleshed out.

In the version of the Hobbit I read it described the large goblins as orcs. I don't know if that was the version before our after tLorR came out and the made changes to the Hobbit so they worked together better.

There is a fine line between what you suggest and wanting some of the ideas of Shadowdark with a bit of D&D polish. I like Shadowdark and I think it has a lot to teach/inform the next version of D&D. However, I wouldn't simply want it with the D&D logo and color art. I think its design...

I fear cell phones have been overly destructive to society. It is not just them of course, but the ability to have the internet, and all the associated distractive pressures, at our finger tips has been, IMO, a poison to our youth. Making that an integral part of D&D would not be a good thing...

@Micah Sweet has answered this before: they don't like Hasbro and would prefer to not purchase their products. So they would prefer Hasbro makes a game that is unattractive to them.

That is not what they are suggesting. They are say use the modifiers only (it is in the part you quoted) like PF2. So instead of a strength "18" you have a strength "+3."

This I an agree with: This, not so much: To me, that is akin to saying: make taking meth integral to the game.
