D&D 5E August 2012 playtest revisted thoughts

I saved them all. If you want a copy, I could send one your way.

I wouldn't mind a copy too! I never played the Playtest was always intrigued how the Sorcerer was done in it.

If you're offering, I seem to have lost all but the 01/28/13 and the 10/14/13 packets (I know I had them, but I had a critical hard drive failure sometime during the playtest…)

Message me an email you’d like to receive them at and I’ll send them your way.

Honestly, I REALLY like the idea of the Racial Weaponry granting an increase in weapon damage die. I MAY introduce an idea like that in my games. I'd have to figure out how it would work with humans. I am already adding the UA Weapon Mastery Feats and AIME fighting styles and crap into my 5E games, might as well go even more gonzo.

I liked that classes granted an ability score boost. I was sad to see that go in the final version.

It was a very interesting take on where we get the ASIs from. Before that point I was caught up in the sacred cow of it being only from your race or from feats or level increases or items etc.

I THINK advantage on [ability] saves for a given class are a bit of a successor concept. Still, the idea that by starting up a class, your relevant ability increases a bit was interesting. I'm guessing that much also was lost due to multiclass shenanigans (do a few lever dips to gain free ASIs!).

It would be easy enough to say you don't get the class ability boost when you multi-class.

Indeed, and I would have been happy with that too. I think it was one of multiple reasons that was dummied out. Probably sacred cows came into play.
