[QUOTE="GobHag, post: 9738627, member: 7043860"] Just make DnD built for Nova-ing or non-attritional combat. It's what people want and abandon the pretensions of being a normal dungeon crawler, design new dungeons more like the theme park it is--a line of encounters and challenges that can be linear or taken freely. Make it even less of a real space. Martials should get anime naughty word by level 3 at the latest, if I can't do sword winds by then, then the D&D designers imaginations have failed them. I agree with the idea of having 'tutorial' levels that are distinct from actual levels too I would prefer more 'meta' abilities. Traps that are 'laid there an hour ago' by using your abilities that you've activated as a reaction, "I actually snatched some knives awhile ago", or something like 'If you participate in a fight and no one important dies then their attitude towards you is still neutral' Monk [I]should[/I] be more Orientalist--that's the appeal here, denying it is just a mistake. There should be some actual research done but if the traditional fantasy mold has rapiers in medieval europe without guns then authenticity shouldn't be a priority. Magic items should be more common and 'de-specialed' in the mind of DMs. I'm fine with a sword that just does fire damage instead of slashing. Vancian should only be on the wizard--all other casters should not even be designed with it, hell I'm not sure any of them should have similar casting system. And make sure the wizard's spells aren't anymore powerful than the other spellcasters Alignment should be opt in, you can choose to be Lawful Good or Chaotic Neutral or whatever but the only thing it does is that it should restrict certain spells and classes while those that choose to not have an alignment are free to pick whatever. So a Lawful character can't be a barbarian but nothing stops your law-abiding knight that has an empty field in it's alignment section on the character sheet to be a barbarian. There will be no other benefit whatsoever for having an alignment. [/QUOTE]
