Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zustiur" data-source="post: 4690390" data-attributes="member: 1544">That is exactly what I want. I want all classes to share enough of their abilities in combat that I can believe they're non-magical humanoids at heart. I don't want 'flashy' super-beings who can cast magic all day, or shoot two arrows every 6 seconds, or hit enemies over the head to make them glow with holy guiding light (that only benefits one companion) every round.I want bless instead of priest's shield. I want bane instead of righteous brand. I want firing two arrows in one round to be special, not something that is considered normal.I want wizards to have their limits like they've always had in every edition of D&D going back to the beginning.Doing something every round is a feat or a class feature, or a basic ability that everyone can do. Not a class specific power or spell.And above all I want this. If you're doing something you can do every round, I don't want it to take more time to figure out than "I hit/miss, I deal damage". None of the "Fred gets a +2 against this specific creature, in this unlikely circumstance, and it only lasts for a round so I'll have to repeat myself if I do exactly the same thing next round".Effects that alter circumstances (like +2 to hit) should last for more than one round. Preferably for the whole encounter once initiated. In other words, I don't want to be making notes every round and crossing them out every round. Just like I don't want to alter my Str or Dex and have to recalculate my character every round in 3E.</blockquote>
