[QUOTE="Guest 7037866, post: 9632904"] Tighten the numbers: d20 is too swingy, go to d12. Remove HP bloat and HP dependancy on CON. Cap ability modifers at +3. Decrease weapon damage. Limit levels to 10 or 12. Have proficiency begin at +9 and max at +5 (bring back the non-proficiency penalty of -2). And so on. No ability scores, just modifiers. I am tired of players who have a STR 16 Half-Orc think they have a +5 strength modifier instead of STR 18 and a +4. No bonus actions or reactions. No multiclassing.* (Maybe you can switch classes, but can't go back.) Remove 65% of the races. And remove nearly ALL darkvision! Kill the Artificer, Sorcerer, and Warlock. While you're at it, get rid of subclasses. Allow feats to pick up the slack. Remove 65% of the spells. Go to a spell-point system. Magic items without any "+" bonuses. Get rid of 50% of the magic items anyway. Ditch Alignment, personality, and all that junk. Few people use them, and even fewer people use them correctly IME. Kill off 80% of the creatures in the numerous monster books. Most of them never get used anyway, or only by those DMs who are trying to use all the wacky creatures they can find. Yeah, that would do it for a start. ;) [/QUOTE]
