A lot of the abilities they're adding are nifty in isolation but with all of them added in combat is going to bog down, which is a problem as combat taking too long is my biggest complaint about 5e as it is. This is symptomatic in the way that 5.5e has been developed: a lot of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what stuck. A lot of the stuff people liked were little added abilities that look like a lot of fun, but with no overarching conception of what they wanted 5.5e combat to look like there's a real risk of them being a lot less than the sum of their parts. This is especially a problem in 5.5e, since unlike 4e there are a lot of issues that crop up if you only have one or two fights per long rest. Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't played the game yet but I predict there'll be a spate of threads about the game being "grindy."As far as the lore, that makes me sad, the lore about the planes was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar and away my favorite bit of 4e.</blockquote>
