Players should get access to talent trees similar to SW Saga. So if I pick Dwarf Fighter I get access to the Dwarf talent/feats and the fighter ones. Every odd level I can choose from my lists, so I can become more Dwarfy or more of a fighter. Multiclassing should be free so I can get access to...

Which means if we get a no comment from WotC it is probably true. They probably should have stuck to a common statement when addressing potential leaks.

If this is true I hope they pair down all the horrible fiddliness. I was hoping for a core game something like Basic DND, something that could be built on. Some of the horrible bits: - Spell levels different from class levels - fighters getting nerfed - way too general wizard spell make a...

Sorry I meant skill uses, like Jury Rig for Mechanics or Hot Shot. It was a fan made list. It wasn't verbatim, I doubt it would have impinged on IP. Just a big list or those skill uses with a condensed summary. EDIT: Its all good. The guys at D20 radio directed me to it. Thanks.

Anyone remember a PDF floating about with a skill list for Saga edition. It had all the optional entries from all the books with DCs and a little summary for each one. I've lost my copy. Thanks.

Thats funny, it is the way I've always imagined petrification: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=m8hH0LmZQec#t=23s

I'm interested in this idea. eHaving used a few save or die rolls in the past I've never been enthusiastic, but I like this idea and I think it could lead to some interesting play. Although, I could be eating my words in a couple of years with a blog entry: "Save or Die/HP Threshold SUCKS, I...

I'd like you to show me where it is explicitly written that paper is immune to magical fire? The 4e DMG gives a decent amount of advice for doing exactly what you are suggesting, it just doesn't specify the melting point of gold. While 4e has many failings this is not one of them.

I prefer to keep hitpoints as minor bumps, scrapes and very minor injuries. As you gain HPs you gain the ability to turn what may have once killed you into a minor wound. Once HPs are gone you are in trouble. If you take more damage you start dying from a more serious wound; make an immediate...

Thiefling and Dragonborn have been popular. I wouldn't be against half orcs, but I think there needs to be some advice about integrating them with the default setting. With races only taking up a small amount of space I do not see a good reason for leaving them out. It is really up to the DM...

Don't be such a wuss, soldier. What kind of adventurer are you?

If the leak is true then the new crit mechanic seems pretty tasty. Max damage is the meat and potatoes.The confirmation roll the gravy. Even if I don't make it I still have a satisfying meal. Now for dessert I want a generous helping of critical fumbles.

Yeah I wouldn't be adverse to tweaking them. I'd be sad to see them go I think they could be a great addition to the game and do fit with the HP paradigm. I do like the idea. My problem is with how they fit in with the overall combat system which seems more abstract than those two subsystems...

I don't get the healing surge hate myself. I voted for them. They are an interesting mechanic. I think I'd rename them heroic surges and that might help with the haters... maybe not. I voted for them to be in the core and I was sorely tempted to vote for weapon speed and weapon vs armour too...

Support all time lines. Similar to how they did it in Star Wars. The core book supports them all. Then we have timeline specific splats. Considering that FR is the only setting that is still receiving hardback support from WotC in 4e that timeline must be popular.

If you're confident in your abilities a company then WotC succeeding will give you more potential customers. I only see win for Paizo no matter how 5e turns out. If pathfinder declines they can release 5e pathfinder. If 5e tanks they can continue with pathfinder, etc.. I'm sure they will have...

They can make the first few levels more dangerous without making the PCs fragile. It's all about the balance. I enjoyed 4e's take on 1st level PCs. They had some staying power at first level, but I did kill a few 1st level parties - by accident I must add - when I first started DMing. It is...

I've been banging this drum for a while now. Talent trees are they way to go. I can make my elf more elfy or more wizardy or more Pubcrawly... Muticlassing gives you access to new telant trees. Wizards have access to two school talent trees (with the options of gaining access to more somehow)...

It boggles my mind that people thought that 5e would somehow allow all the different rule sets to play together at the same table. I thought it was fairly clear what they were going for and I like that they are "thinking big" I'd prefer they do something like this and maybe fail than just...

I'd much prefer having a Character level and talent trees (call them feats if you like). You get access to the race, class and theme talent trees that you pick and get one every level* or every second* character level. If you change class or theme (or race lol, vampire could be a "rare" race I...
