A lot of this I dislike or would have to test, but I am 10000000% behind making utility magic more ritual oriented. Preferably by making anything that isn’t a flashy immediate effect into a skill use, whether it uses a spell slot or not. I don’t like how restricted the spell list would be judging by your description here, and would rather see magic pushed into much broader design with risks and costs and such, based on skills and the use of components and focus objects and ritual implements, with ritual magic having requirements for advanced stuff where you need eg a base, a catalyst, a power source, a focus, and a circle or container, and then each spell school is a skill with description of what types of effects it can do. Absolutely. Different name? Please? If not I will live but I have never hated a D&D class Name half as much as I hate that one. Definitely not. This is one thing that turns me off Level Up. Combat Skills, sure. Broader use of maneuvers than 5e, definitely. But bloody well let me play without using maneuvers when I want to. Let there be classes and subclasses that don’t rely on them. Now if you want all classes to have tiers spell slots or maneuver dice, fine. Just give basic uses of both that aren’t more complex than “add the die to damage of an attack”, “add the die to your defense”, “add the spell die to your concentration check” etc. Or, make every martial work like the monk with focus and 2-4 Focus Features for each class, and have optional Techniques you can learn that cost focus. Yeah sure. Make magic weird. I’d steal from Daggerheart. Having a track for every piece of equipment sounds tiring and not fun. We can dreamI’d go further and have HP scale so little that a lucky goblin can wound a high level fighter. A lot of it isn’t to my preference, for sure. Also it’s hard to address since all the meat is in quotes and thus doesn’t get carried over when I quote you…But I’d definitely be down to playtest such a game and give it a shot.</blockquote>
