D&D 5E Crazy Ideas 5E Should Not Adopt

[TarionzCousin]

31 All Barbarians must speak with an Austrian Accent and must use the word Crom at least once per encounter

Isn't that rule already in place?

34 - Dice are abandoned in favor of chits. The battle-cry of 5e becomes "Chit Happens!".

32 - Remember those old druid rules, where you had to defeat a higher level druid to advance? Those now apply to all classes at all levels, including first. Finally, D&D emulates Traveller, and you can die during character generation.

35. To bring in the sci-fi crowd, all instances of druid are changed to droid.

To satisfy all player groups, combats must now be run in OD&D, then 1E, then 2E, then 2E Skills & Powers: Combat & Tactics, then 3E, then 3.5E, then 4E and then using Essential rules. You cannot use systems simultaneously, and you must play through all combats before you declare victory or defeat (the latter if you lose any of the combats).

37) Your character's ability scores must be the same as your own as measured by an IQ test, bench press max, etc.

33 - There are no weapons but polearms. Fortunatley, these come in all sizes, and 57 varieties, 13 of which are usable by haflings and gnomes, including the "wee spear-chukker-glaive-guisarme-lochabar-halberd" which can be thrown.

33.5 All characters begin play only proficient with one weapon: the Bohemian Ear Spoon.

 

[Kingreaper]

38) There are no weapons but people. Fortunatley, these come in all sizes, and 57 varieties, 2 of which are halflings and gnomes.

While it is possible to gain "Weapon Proficiency: Unconscious Half-ogre" we strongly advise that you use a dead one instead.

39) To appeal more to the horny male teenager (i.e. core) demographic, all PC in the PHB artwork be replaced by elf chicks or green-skinned space babes in chain mail bikinis.

40) Half of the entries in the monster manual will be replaced by cute monster girls. All of them get a second block with their stats as girlfriend. Of course, the Summon Monster spell will be replaced by Summon Girlfriend.

41. 5e is a retro clone of FATAL
