I agree with both of these points. No monopoly for pets (as I understand it the warlock is going to be a pet class - too bad) on one (or a few) class(es). Agreed, a spell is cheap entry, a feat costs more. Costs more = better. I like that summon familiar is not a standard class feature so...

So here is where the poll might be tripping people up, if the "magical herbs" are just a potion of healing by another name/form then I don't think anyone has an issue with that. Potions of healing do not all have to appear in a vial with a cork. If the herbs are more synonymous with a healing...

I want potions to be common and I want wands to be rarer than that. Each "charge" of a potion should cost roughly the same as a charge of a wand, with the wand's advantage being that it can hold many and the potions that it can be quaffed by anyone but can only work on them. Healing herbs and I...

My opinion pets should be available to all classes through feats. They should not be standard features

Corrected, thanks. My gut hunch is that 35% success is not a very good success rate. It will feel like low level characters attacking a monster with a high AC. When you have a spell that is a daily power you would want that success rate to equate to doing something. Even if it is a 18 INT vs a...

One thing you might try is allowing your casters to gain new spell levels ever three character levels instead of every two character levels. To make it work though you give them a similar number of slots that they would have normally had to begin with. For instance: 1 4/3 2 4/4 3 4/4/2 4 4/4/3...

Lol, in this case you vote pink flowers sir.

The game is 97% done. Time for a poll.

I think if they can make the rolls go either way as an attack or a save and clearly write them that way they will do a great service to the community. There are those that really want saves to be like saves of yore (1e thru 3e) and then there are those who felt 4e got it right with attack rolls...

This clears this up for me. I can accept this strategy for the fighter. I am sure I will have more critiques with the actual publishing and the details of each maneuver in my hand. They will be similar minor things like which save is involved etc. Ah one thing that I have said in the past is...

This would be acceptable then. I don't want basic concepts that anyone could try and do to get thrown into one class and then it is not possible to shove, trip, grapple, snatch etc. These are fundamental things. I don't mind at all if the fighter is better at them, the important part is that...

This is my primary distaste in class design too. Preselected class features at every level is a problem for me. I would have rather had some iconic class features at levels 1/4/7/10/13/16/19 (or something) then use feats in the other areas where player can select the direction they want to go...

If only the fighter/battlemaster will be allowed to do these things there will be a problem in the rules set.

So only fighters can do maneuvers? My wizard character cannot try and push the villain into the portal?

Just remove the bonus, which really equates to a penalty in the other 4. Fix the math on it, to go to whatever DC the designers feel is the appropriate numbers of pass fail. If two equal ability scores what should the pass fail number be for the saves? 50% failure? 70% failure? I would liken...

It seems like the interesting thing about some tasks is not the binary pass/fail but instead the pass without a hitch or pass with some complications. This is very much a modern game design feel. Is the story more interesting if a lock picking attempt fails? No, but it is more interesting if the...

Removed, was inappropriate.

Below is what I would do. DC Example Surface or Activity 0 A slope too steep to walk up, or a knotted rope with a wall to brace against. 5 A rope with a wall to brace against, or a knotted rope, or a rope affected by the rope trick spell, or a chimney or other area where you can brace against...

To add more complexity to the issue of how and when advantage disadvantage is used in skill checks. It is used in the case of stealth in one key area if you are wearing certain types of armor. So now this limits modifiers for conditions of the environment or anything else. It will be very...

Just as a point of reference. So climbing in this case you want to use disadvantage/advantage for masterwork climbers kit. You want to move circumstantial penalties stormy and windy conditions to the DC chart as a DC modifier. So will each skill DC table have a list of circumstantial...
