Nah. By 3e ended, the community was too split to do what Hasbro wanted. Community was literally split in 4. WOTC would have to commit to placating 4 different groups halfway.

4e didn't fail. 4e didn't take over RPG and meet Hasbro's expectations due to a series of bad luck circumstances Fantasy RPG community is too divided to get what Hasbro ever wants ever again without another global pandemic channeling everyone to popular containing D&D elements.

Draw Steel is close to 4e. Proof that 4e was a style that a noticable part of the community wanted. It was just too early and lacked the celebrity to wash over the changes that people wanted to happen but didn't want to see. That's why personally in my preferred 6e, I would create or redesign...

Just have alternate alignment systems Law vs Chaos Good vs Evil Paragon vs Renegade Loyalist vs Rebellion Babyface vs Heel Selfless vs Selfish Jedi vs Sith

Just to say. If there was an edition that was an iteration of 4e and I designed it, the Arcane Power source would be split Wizardry powers would be Arcane Daily Powers Witchcraft powers would be Arcane Encounter Powers Sorcery powers would be Arcane At Will Powers Level 1 Wizards would get 2...

Again it all depends on presentation. If Celestial Arcana Chaos Morph Clockwork Cannon Dragon Breath Dragon Scale Elemental Burst Wild Explosion were your sorcerer Sorcery options, that reaction would be limited because the base wild mage is still a mage

Better than a gish as your subclass on a caster class. more like a scarlet with with probability magic. Wild Surging only if you choose to go greedy.

It was a bad showing for a first option. Had it been a wild sorcerer who could spend sorcery points to invoke Wild Surges or chaotic explosions on a standard mage chassis, it would have tested better. And they could have left in Dragon Breath and such as a hint to how subclasses worked.

Sorcerer Design didn't go far enough in design because the community was scared by the Playtest being a gish. If the Playtest sorcerer was a blaster, sorcerer might have been more distinct from wizards.

Sure. But I've never seen those descriptions since 2e. They would be manifesting archetypes. Halflings would be the people whose entire life are based around good and bad luck. Their cheeriness and carefree attitudes are due to the fact that they tend to be so lucky that they don't care as...

Mechanically they are neither of those. And in the books as well.

Normally yes.

I always thought Wizardry Sorcery Warlocky Should be different types of magic. I personally think cantrips should be a sorcery thing that Wizards, warlocks, and priests give themselves with spells.

Nothing Halfling is Short lucky human. Gnome is Short elf/dwarf with gadget. Cut the fluff Power up the unique Halfling is short lucky human. Gnome is short elf/dwarf with gadget .

Speaking on GOT/ASOIAF If make the social pillar better. I'd nerf tongues and make a common language for each "plane". So you'd go out your way to have Common + the 4 other "Common"s in your party.

Gnomes are low on the popularity list because mechanically they are weak and their default cultures are not cultures that you can either inject into most stories or interact in as incomers experiencing a new society. Now if gnomes had giant mech hidden by illusions around there small villages...

I don't believe how TSR, WOTC, & Most fantasy dungeon games Coltrane gnomes and halflings having a point. But there are inklings in both gnomes and halflings that are often missing in many games that could be played up and then enhanced in those species. Gnomes naturally have a craft Link in...

My personal stance is that halflings and gnome actually don't share that much other than being. Halflings literally are small humans and that's the problem. Homes are there on thing. So in order to really together halfling and gnomes you would have to really lose a lot from. That's why to me...

I don't think every species needs a sub. Common goblins and hobgoblins are too different. Orcs don't have a natural biological separation in subculture .

I don't trust talent trees because I almost have never seen any designer in video games card games or tabletop games dude talent tree well the first time. You are basically asking for something broken. You would basically be ceding 6E to be broken
