Make the monsters and NPCs improv. Your quest starts at the orphanage, kids running around playing. One of then jumps on the table in the middle of the room with a stick in his hand and (rolls dice) and makes it. Another untied a chandelier cord and drop it on the kid in the center (roll...

It's already written to match. Including the new Nick feature.

In the playtest, both the Warpriest and the Monk dropped the requirements of making an attack action. They are both intentionally only bonus actions.

yes. Yes. Yes. No. No. Also spending dice for the Psychic Blade. They changed dual wielding in the remake so scimitar, daggers, light hammers, and sickles can two weapon fight without a bonus action. So you can attack with your main hand, TWF attack with the scimitar, and bonus attack...

Remove the spell list all together. Steel the warlock invocations and lean heavily into that. Level 1: sorcerers blast As an action, make an attack roll at 60'. If you hit, deal 1d6+Cha + your sorcerers level in damage. You choose between fire, cold, or lightning damage each time. Erupt...

Offense: apply damage Defense: resist damage Manipulate: applying conditions. Wary: resist conditions. All classes use a combination of stats. Most spells and abilities should have multiple stats in them. I.e. Armor of Agythis You gain temporary hit points equal to Defense + Wary. If you...

Hexblade getting their 3rd attack at 11, combined with per-hit damage spells.

You still need to grab on. Supernaturally or otherwise. But I also wouldn't make it difficult. Rule of cool applies, and teleporting to walls is cool. So DC 5 for most surfaces. Easy enough to pass with a little Dex and some training to do consistently. But someone clumsy might slip.

🤔 💡 The slow blade penetrates the shield. Any damage over 5 is blocked by a flash of shimmering blue. Completely negating the attack. Ancient magic though they where invincible, until someone created magic missile. It is why learning the spell is a strong tradition, but the original reason...

IMO "At the start of your turn, gain 20 temporary hit points". Possibly "Resistance to physical damage. At the start of your turn, gain 5 temporary hit points".

RAW "Objects are immune to poison and psychic damage.". So Necrotic would work. But also "As always, use your best judgment." Personally, I would split the difference. Give it Resistance.

If you unify the mechanics, you need to diversify the spells. And I don't just mean divine cure wounds doing 2d8+Wis vs nature cure wounds doing 3d8.

Agreed. "Cash Grab" is when you try to make as much as possible without worrying about the future. Selling a crappy product that breaks in a few weeks, and are fine if the brand suffers for it. You don't do a year long playtest as a "cash grab". You do that when you want to grow the brand...

The playtest monk can far more easily take the Dodge action. Deflect arrow is also Deflect attack (and later Deflect Energy). So you have a defensive reaction. So it's less about building to be a tank, and more about choosing to tank round by round.

The first art to use "pixels" is from 1886 (zoom in).

Double post.

Reminds me of the Emerald Weapon from Final Fantasy 7. I think it's fine as long as you give enough clues for them to figure it out. Like have a corpse with 2 attuned magic items. And a completely destroyed corpse with 5 attuned magic items.

Nah. 0 classes. Just start with 13 subclasses. 😋

I was going by basic mechanics. I.e. Martials gets multiple attacks Magic user gets spells slots Monks get points. Rogues get sneak attack. I guess you might be able to unify sneak attack dice and bardic inspiration dice. Getting Xd6 per turn to spend on stuff.
