I know people feel like limiting Spells FEELS more like Magic but it seems to me to just be habit at this point... but whatever.I would like to see the Social pillar almost completely divorced from your class and concentrated in your background. Your class should be about combat and some explorationabilities (with other backgrounds adding to Exploration more than Social). The Bard and MAYBE some Cleric domains would be the exception. I think it would help mitigate a lot of issues. I liked Healing Surges and would like to see them come back because I think they worked better than Hit Dice. They scaled better, were used as fuel for abilities AND, if the math was ajusted, could make combat more dangerous. This thing with Healing Surges is that you basically have only a small portion of your daily vitality available per encounter. If it represents stamina or luck or a combination, then it would make sense for it to run out faster than your overall endurance. Each combat could bring you down close to 0 or to 0, but you wouldn't be out for the day. And it works as a cap on abusive healing (both by requiring the use of surges AND by limiting your max HP at any time). I liked the concept of Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies. Maybe instead of adding them onto your class and complicating things, maybe your class only provides ability up to a certain level, after which you need to start leveling up in a Paragon Path for a while and THEN into an Epic Destiny. It seems a bit silly that you pick your subclass at lv 3 and it's just what you are until the end of your career (baring multiclassing). Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies were a cool way to express the growth and progression of your character, with a fun variety of perequisite. Some could be simpler than others, with a few just being "Just keep doing the same thing but better" and others adding new aspects to characters like a dip into certain types of magic. A 6th edition needs just a few more tactical levers to pull so we could bring back the Warlord and more Martial options... but not too much to mess with the sacro-saint "Theater of the Mind" style of play (AUGH am I the only one who think that sounds super elitist?) And finally: If you're gonna have a HUGE spell list shared by every caster out there, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE GODS organise it by LEVEL first and THEN alphabetically >< seriously, trying to pick spells in the PHB is a nightmare!</blockquote>
