ok, fine, fair enough

you want more Hercules less Indigo Montoya you want legendary godling at 20th.... I think you may want to create your own feat chain.... the last thing I want is my 20th level duelist to be the equivalent of a half-god

I had a chance to look them over and I feel the same way... I pray that they changed the feats from this "alpha" version... It would be grand if someone from WoTC would come out and out our fears to rest.

there are a lot more changes then those... I hope the people that have acquired this (illegal mind you) copy understand it is NOT the final version of the rules....

yes at low levels it seems slight, but at 20th level your character +0 dexterity bonus is better then someone with a natural dexterity of 20 at tumbling... most fighters would be sporting a 14 dex (+2 to Dexterity saves, which come into play Alot) that's +8 at 20th... Heck a Rouge who takes...

Except now you have guys built like tanks moving like gymnasts as well as power lifters doing performing parkour maneuvers like the guy James Bond chances down in the opening scene of Casino Royale.

Because GM's are expected to, well... GM..... the more you detail rules the smaller the creative box becomes.... my keeping the rules lose players feel free to come up with actions, in 3.5 there are no rules for using the giant's sword blade as a platform to leap up and strike at it's neck...

so the warlock spell level advancement.... how does that work? is it commutative? total spell levels?

I would do something like 0 damage from 15' or less..... half damage if you fall 16+ but have something to slow your fall (a knife in a sail for example)

for those characters that want to run around and fight like Ezio Auditore from Assassins Creed... Parkour-ing, running up the back of a Giant to stab him in the back of the neck after he swag and missed a friend of yours, sliding between an orc's legs, and so on

You would be shocked to see how hard it is to get players to think outside the box with Skill/Attribute combinations... heck it's hard to get writers to keep that in mind. when I wrote the skill system for Arcanis I specifically used this concept (I called it dynamic skills) and even gave...

BBC Sherlock Homes Smartest cat on the block with the wisdom of a base jumper.... Able to notice things with his intellect, pick apart a room, see that the man killed was left handed though, apparently, he killed him self with a hand cross bow using his right hand. Able to look at a room...

that's the idea! the little guy is getting lost in the combat and using it to his advantage, all those big'ens swinging their swords and shields, its easy to get "lost" in all that, just long enough to stab someone in the gut or lose an arrow from an unexpected direction

If you want to do this, I suggest you still find a way to give stealth characters some kind of advantage.. maybe if attacking from stealth you get to add you proficiency bonus? so an ambush would still be worth a damn, because you get a higher chance (not guaranteed) to go first... your...

I can see doing a Wild Mage/Hermit... the "Crazy Old Guy" who "knows things"

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20140714 So not much.. except they are adding 32 pages to the MM at no additional cost... good news at least

heck they have a sitting judge on the staff.....

have you had a chance to tweak these numbers with the new (final) numbers in the starter set?

Yep.. and there is no RPG....with a threat of character death... in which that can't happen.

Heck I just played last night.... your party must have had a run of horrid luck... lets see, all the goblins need to roll against the passive perception of all the pre-gens, of the the heroes (the halfling I think) has a 15 or 16... the goblins have a +3 stealth...I may be wrong on this...
