Human nature.

It's literally just level ranges. Dandy fans have no problem categorizing what power level a magical effect is within the number range of 1 to 9 for spell levels and 20 class levels. But categorizing where a long range sword strike or a high damage siege worthy axe strike belongs in a level...

It's not that crazy YEs I've played other RPGs. You do realize every version of D&D uses the same resolution system as the main mechanic just with different numbers, formulas, and ranges? 1d20+X vs DC Y If equal or greater, do AdB+C or Effect 1 If lower, sometimes half or Effect 2

I do. A Shadowdark fighter is just numbers go up. You can put that beside a 4E weaponmaster and a 3e wizard. Just get the number right.

What I am saying those style of play are not incompatible. They are different set of classes and species at different levels.

Yes. You do.

We do all want the same 6e. Just different level ranges of it. That's the problem. Everyone fights to stretch their preferred level range over other fans'.

You can hit all the power everyone wants in 35 levels. But some groups will start at level 1, some level 10, some level -3, and some level 20.

Nah I think the people want 6E. The issue is the designers and fandom can't get over their own personal biases to facilitate fans not like themselves

Personally, if make 0th level play its own box. The 5e sweet spot is a sweet spot for a reason. D&D fans like their PCs competent but easy to run. Novice: Levels -2 to 0. Simple incompetent PCs. Heroic: Levels 1-10 Simple competent PCs. Paragon: Level 11-20 Advanced master PCs Epic: Level...

Yeah to me, a subclass that invokes a secondary stat should have something more. Fighter SubclassSecondary ScoreUses Focus Battle MasterNoneManeuversDamage + Control "Brute"Constitution????Raw Damage ChampionNoneCriticalsRaw Damage GladiatorGladiatorWeapon MasteriesDefense + Control...

Burning Hot take It's should be Charisma score use per Long rest and you regain Proficiency mod on Short Rest. Then the high level feature and the parry could cost multiple uses. The lack of utilization of Ability Score in 5e is a travesty

Nah. IMO, the Gladiator and the Weapon Master are similar but very different in style. The Gladiator should be like a WWE/WCW wrester who uses there Charisma to feed off their allies, enemies, and the crowd to empower their offense and defense. It would be more focused on raw power over...

What if spells above level 5 are assumed as treasure that you only get by finding them or taking a special subclass/species If you want wish you need to do a quest for or kill a mage who has it.

But there are differences. Like Dwarves are poison resistant. For a nation where dwarves are the majority they would not be as much care about making sure that your food and the air is not poisonous. Which would be harder and difficult if you live mostly underground in caves or in mountains...

Class, Species, Culture, (replacing Subrace or Subspecies), Specialty (replacing Subclasses) and Background would be your major choices. Some Cultures and Specialty would be Species or Class locked as they would refer to specific features. Otherwise Culture and Specialty would be free to...

In my option there are a lot more difference between elf, dwarf, and human than dolphins. I think the idea that nonhuman humaniods are just humans in hats is boring and risks people using rl cultures.

Sure. But the point that was brought up was that it is very likely that species who have different actual biological aspects would create different cultures within a society that they inhabit with other species . A darkvision having nocturnal species might have a slightly different culture...

It's not the worse but it further diminishes the importance and mysticism of species. It's only weird because the features are big and impactful. Level Up's system is very cool. But it's Heritage features are too big for me and would require a whole lot of options for me. I'd want the Mountain...

My eyes work again. I meant the mechanics. Preserve Land is a game slowing, difficulty sapping, cheap feature one gets at low level. I thought we all had the discussion about cheap recharging THP already on the hardcore and design side of the community.
