    Thought experiment: feats AND ability boosts

    Out of curiosity how do you think this would work: At 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, all classes get an ability score boost as normal (+1/+1 or +2 up to maximum of 20) AND they also get a feat. At 6th and 14th levels fighters get a bonus feat but no ability score boost at 10th rogues get...

    D&D 5E Should 5e use Star Wars Saga edition-style talents and powers?

    I'm wondering if we might see something like the Saga edition talent and power system in 5e: each class gets access to a variety of talents as it levels up. Some are exclusive to the class and some are available to anyone with certain prerequisites (in this case, maybe races, power sources...
