[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9394902, member: 7635"] The answer is simple, but y'all are not gonna like it. 1. Eliminate bonus actions. Things are either an action or it's part of another action, but it's not an action on its own. 2. Eliminate short rests and anything that recharges with them. Including HP/HD. 3. Make all species traits passive. 4. Remove about 50% of all class features, including but not limited to weapon mastery, cantrips, action surge, sneak attack, smite evil, reckless attack, Hunter's Mark, metamagic, etc. Every class feature should be a limited use action or a passive always on buff. 5.
