D&D (2024) 4e (DnD: Tactics) remake wish list.

[Pauln6]

Uh neither bonus actions, inspiration, nor advantage exist in 4e.

Oh, sorry, I thought One D&D was going to be backwards compatible with 5e not 4e? I much prefer 5e to 4e, which felt very cookie cutter but it does feel that 5e could benefit from more tactics than the battlemaster can offer.

Nobody is discussing 1D&D in here.

Minor action -> bonus action.
And the avenger had "advantage".

How I'd do it

For a little fun, I thought I would play your game too here:

I would potentially rename the 4e roles or expand what the role entails. I would also potentially take cues from MOBAs, not necessarily in terms of lane or map roles, but character roles. Here, however, I will mostly preserve the four roles of 4e rather than expand the roles to be more MOBA-like: e.g., Marksman, Mage, Slayer, Tank, etc. But I would potentially have separated out Striker into Ranged and Melee.
