ok this is actually a fantastic one i'm legitimately mad i didn't think of thisSpell description section being separated by spell level then by alphabetical order.
yes please1. Whether an ability is magical or not (like the ol 'is Dragon's breath magical?') Sage Advice. When i ask a Y/N question, i expect to get a Y/N answer. I don't want to go through a massive checklist and get a 'maybe, ask your DM' nonsense.
this is a clusterfrakk, I agree2. If we are talking about clarity, so many things should be spelled out explicitly, but none more so than the difference between melee weapon attack, melee spell attack, attack with a weapon and natural weapons/unarmed strike.
If you want TWF, buy yourself double-blade scimitar from Eberron and if you want to be dex fighter take Revenant blade feat.3. Outright say that they hate TWF. 'Hello, we realise that we have put a lot of abilities and even some magic items to activate as a Bonus Action, so we will have TWF use the same Bonus Action, because naughty word you. TWF sucks and is not cool. Oh, and the feat support is total ass too.'
No,4. Druids and metal armour. Seriously, this is so dumb.
Ick! Goodness no. Perception is already too powerful and useful as it is.... this just turns it back into the uberskill that surpasses every other skill on the skill list for usefulness and how often checks get made. Never again for me!yeah,
4E did something good, getting rid of Search(Investigation) and having all in Perception.
That should be for 5.5E
Again, no thanks. Now you'd have to remember what level the spell is you are looking up before then finding it alphabetically. That'll be even worse.Spell description section being separated by spell level then by alphabetical order.
How about a digital printing of the rulebooks with embedded hyperlinks for easier searching? That really shouldn't take a big company too long to do.Again, no thanks. Now you'd have to remember what level the spell is you are looking up before then finding it alphabetically. That'll be even worse.
Sure, the cantrip and 1st level section would be probably fine more or less... but if you told me "Go find the spell block for Mirage Arcane", I'd never be able to do it. I'd have to go to the spell list first, find out its level, and then go find the block alphabetically. And even then I'd have to spend time flipping through the entire chapter just to find the "7th Level" section before finally looking for the spell alphabetically.
People keep complaining that the Index sucks because some entries just redirect you to other entries so you have to now take an extra step in getting to where you want to go... this now turns finding spells into the exact same thing.
