I'm down for a 5.5E but not an entire new edition. At this point some of 5E's warts are showing and it would be nice to have the game cleaned up a bit. I wouldn't want the game math to be changed though, other than saving throws, that is pretty on point. Plus I need a new PHB as mine has...

I think clearly defining the win and loss conditions of an adventure can only be a good thing. What's the sense of accomplishment if you can't have a chance to fail? A moment of failure can be a great motivator for character development. Forcing an adventure failure on taking a long rest just...

You can always ignore the mechanic if it gets in the way of fun. I agree that there should be a legit cost and a defined failure state for adventures. I believe that Short Rests should be the major resource recuperating rest that all classes enjoy in some way. This enables players to regain...

I don't disagree. Currently, this design can only be siloed into the Fighter class as the Paladin and Ranger are already filled to the brim with class features and things to do. I'm going to take some time see if i can find some interesting design space to rework the fighting style and extra...

First I want to congratulate you on really accomplishing what you set out to design. This really combines an open concept Fighter with multiple discrete concepts into one class. In addition, the camp talent idea adds a much needed exploration/interaction benefit that the Fighter is currently...

Here is my take on fixing up the fighter a bit. http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/r1SseDag- In addition, the Ranger would gain access to Guarding and Skirmishing, while the Paladin would gain access to Guarding and Commanding.

The problem is that the Paladin can continue smiting with 8 more spell slots, while the fighter's action surge is only going to be used, at most, two more times. And this is completely ignoring the Champion, which in no way keeps up. There is a discrepancy of sustained power over the course of...

Update #3 (5/9/2017) Eldritch Knight Reworked and renamed 1st level feature, Arcane Initiate, to Eldritch Initiate. Added Arcane Sense at 1st level. Reworked Knight of the Ward 3rd level feature, Arcane Ward. Added Signature Spell at 7th level. Wizard Reworked 5th level feature, Signature...

No oddly enough. It didn't quite peak my interest at the time, but it sounds like it might have some useful stuff. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'll have to fix the formatting, but it gives 3 additional dice and 3 advanced manuevers. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

While this would do it what you stated, it still wouldn't give you the extra content once you've acquired all of your abilities. As part of my changes, I wanted how a character plays, to be set by the time they get to higher level threats like Dragons and Giants. At that point, I think...

I personally like a martial styling to my High Elves. I imagine their knights being arrogant, yet intelligent and a force to be reckoned with. However, I think an Eladrin would definitely make a great Fey'lock. I may add them in as well. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I've update the document a little.

i didn't plan to change the attunement rules, but it really comes down to playtesting to find out what feels right at later levels.

Thanks! I agree about the Forest Gnome Druid. I had trouble fitting that one in there. I can probably just make the Rock Gnome Illusionist just Gnome Illusionist and add another Elven like race.

I purposefully wrote them so that they didn't reference the races directly without it also making sense for the class itself. I realize many people don't like that restriction, so I made as optional as possible.

It's also meant as a representation of basic D&D. With race as class and a limited amount of levels/progression. This is what I'm going to use to introduce people to D&D. Clear character archetypes that tell most of the story. Of course you can move to regular D&D with all of the advanced...

So the difference is, this way we can effectively use all the content we have now to keep the stories flowing as far as you can survive. In addition, this is effectively level 20+ content that is already in the game. What's the point of 20 levels if you have no content when you get there...

So after hearing some common complaints about things in 5E (Fighters are a bit boring, Blade Pact Warlock armor issues, takes to long to feel like your character concept is complete, endgame is super easy and the CRs are out of whack, you don't have much game left to play when you get to 20...

While this might ruffle some feathers, I've recently come to think that the Bard should be a Warlock subclass, or at least have the same power source. Most Bard representations are entertainers with Fey-like enchantment or illusion magic. but there has never been a concrete reason why they have...
