Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plaguescarred" data-source="post: 6165547" data-attributes="member: 6701422">The is a LOT of stuff i like in this packet, which is probably my fave to this date.  Spells: I like that a few spells were revised, such as Meteor Swarm. I still think Cantrips should not scale, at least to the extend that they are doing now.  Teleport Mishap is still extremely deadly.Character Sheet: As much as i like getting a new character sheet, I don't like this sheet. I'd like we get an updated version of the original sheet as well in a future packet.Background & Lore: I miss the Skills.  Lore is okay, but i preferred the way Skills were originally designed. I find +10 to when using a Field of Lore to be quite high. I see Character Creation's starting gold (175 gp) is now in sync with this it when forgoing equipment.Bestiary: I think low level (level 1-2) monsters To Hit are too low.  The Ghoul in the Bestiary differs from the one found in the MBG Online PDF Event Supplement. I assume the MBG is the more up-to-date one.Character Creation: I think 150 gp was sufficient and didn't necessitate higher starting gold. Point Buy got upped to 30 to llosen distribution. Classes: I don't mind Ability Score Bonus are gone. I am good with variable Class Attack Bonus. but  think Spellcasting Bonus should be ditch. I like the Barbarian Paths. Glad Turn Undead now offer a saving throw. I like the Domains better but think we should have a couple more. I miss the option of the robed laser cleric I'd prefer if cleric had no Armor Profiency at base but get through Domains. I like the Fighter's Martial Path, it has varying complexity. I like Arcane Traditions. I think it should cost money to Scribe Scroll and Brew Potion. If all schools are represented in Wizardry, it will be really like Wizard School Specialization of older edition. I like the Monastic Traditions. I am good with Paladin and Ranger not getting spells at 1st level. The Paladin should get more Oaths. I like that the Ranger's weapon fighting style affinity is back with Hunter's Volley and Slayer's Hands. I like the Rogue's new Sneak Attack a lot better. The Rogue Style are cool too. I think Poison Mastery should let you make poison for weapon too. I like Cunning Action a lot and think it should allow to Use An Item (mundane at least) again like we've seen in the A1 Playtest Livestream.DM Guidelines: I like the Adventuring sections. I like the Ehxaustion rules and how it interact with marching, extreme weather, high altitude, food and water deprivation etc... I also like the Pouch/Chest/Hoard Treasure model a alot.Equipment: Glad to see the Spiked Shield was finally addressed and i am good with the inclusion of the Buckler. I am good with the change to Healer's Kit, allowing to stabilize only rather than heal. Some weapon revisions seems seems high, notably the Quatterstaff 1d10 and the Greataxe Crit of 1d12+2d8 compared to the Maul or Greatsword. I think making ranged attacks with Thrown Weapons should offer the choice of STR or DEX. I like the Halberd Special property a lot. Longbow seems superior to the Heavy Crossbow in everyway. The Carrion Brain Juice Poison doesn't mention how long it retain potency after being applied to a weapon. I also like the Expenses system for a simple upkeep fees.Feats: The feats are nice, not sure how balanced they are against +2 ability score, but they are definitly interesting  and more character defining than ever. I would be more at ease if feats were only granting +1 to 2 ability scores i think. I was also a fan of 18 ability score cap idea but unfortunatly it didn't make the cut. I like Arcane Archer, Polearm Master and Tactical Warrior a lot. I don't like Archery Master, Fencing Master and Great Weapon Master's -5 attack penalty though. Races: Still not sure about the Half-Orc +2 STR. I'd like of Humans could get a free Lore of their choice.Magic Items: I am good with all Rarity revisions. There is still no Shields on the +1 Armor table. The Elven Chain change makes more sense with how Casting in Armor works. Glad to see a revision to the Wand of Magic Missile.How To Play: I would prefer a 18 ability score cap rather than 20. I think Carrying Capacity should be STR x5 rather than STR x10. I still think taking a Readied Action should move you in the Initiative order. Two Weapon Fighting should be an extra offhand attack as part of an an attack's action otherwise it doesn't stack with Two Attack features, being a seperate action. I still think Critical Hit doesn't BANG enought hard. I think the Short Rest are too long and preferred 5-10 minutes duration. I also dislike the lack of options during Long Rest's recovery. "100%HP & 1/2HD" is not what my group enjoy. The Blinded and Deafened Condition should say you can't see and hear as they currently don't impact your ability to do so in any way.</blockquote>
