Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zardnaar" data-source="post: 6992801" data-attributes="member: 6716779">Many many moons ago (think 2007) I started a document to fix 3.5. Over the years that has evolved into a homebrew D&D incorporating things from Pathfinder, 4E, Clones, and lately 5E.  Generally I like 5E a lot but miss a few tings on occasion form older editions. So my effort to fix 3.5 has more or less resulted in an OSR inspired 5E hack that uses the 5E spells and rules combined with various things from other editions and efforts to fix things I do not like about 5E (such as saves and the -5/+10 feats). Now this is mostly for homebrew but its getting close to where I could make somethig like the D&DN playtest documents and put it up somewhere. The main differences between my D&D and 5E.1. Simplified saves- I use Fort/Rex, Will the difference between a good and bad save is 3 points. 2. Microfeats. You get ferats at the same rate as 4E/Pathfinder. Several 5E feats have been broken down into their component parts. Some have been ported over as is, there are no -5/+10 feats.3. 4 classes and races (more can be added its a lot of work), Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard + Human, Elf, Halfling, 4. Classes are heavily based on 5E. Some fighter abilities for example have been shifted. FOr example a the 4th attack is no longer a keystone ability and you get it around level 15 or 16. My cleric is similar to the life domain. 5. AD&D type outclassing with a unified hit dice and level A fighter/mage (Eldritch Knight) for example has a d8 hit dice and has the full abilities of both classes. 6. Racial feats resembling 4E ones/ lost AD&D abilities (Elves used to be good with long/short swords and bows, halflings with slings and thrown weapons). 7. Gritty rates of healing, overnight healing is a single hit dice. Non magical healing for the most part has gone. 8. XP for gold default rulew (can be removed)9. BECMI xp rates. This is to enable AD&D type multiclassing, xp for gold, and to avoid the AD&D situation where wizards leveld up faster than other classes. 10. Overhauled armor. You now have more options as the best armor is no longer automatically studded leather and plate. Medium armor should be better.11. Monsters hit for a lot less damage than 5E ones due to healing rates being changed. 12. 5E skill system. The main changes are to the classes, feats and saves and I am redoing monsters. Here is an example of the fighter, note it is getting a new capstone ability.<a href="http://s1290.photobucket.com/user/Worldoftanks/media/20161104_113435_zpsbtyoupbj.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b534/Worldoftanks/20161104_113435_zpsbtyoupbj.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>And a couple of monsters.Hobgoblin CR 1/4Medium HumanoidInitiative +0 Senses Perception +4; darkvision 60'HD 1d8+1 hp 6AC 15Saves  Fortitude +3, Reflex +3 Will +2Speed 30'Attack: Melee +3 Dmg 1d8+1 (longsword) or+3 ranged damage 1d8+1 (longbow)Str 13 Dex 12  Con 12 Int 10  Wis 10 Cha 13Alignment LE Languages Common, GoblinSkills: Perception +2, Stealth +3Equipment: longsword, large wooden shield, studded leather, longbowPhalanx: Hobgoblins gain +2 AC when fighting adjacent to another creature with this ability. Disciplined: The hobgoblin chooses a creature within its reach.
