Message: <blockquote data-quote="Consonant Dude" data-source="post: 5808552" data-attributes="member: 6688791">Pure speculation and not necessarily things *I* want in the next edition but here goes:-Rituals will be reworked. Personally, I think this stuff belongs in the DMG to remain mysterious and tailored to the campaign.-We know some classes are gonna get a drastic makeover. In some cases this could need new mechanics and perhaps entirely unique spell lists. -15-minute adventuring day: I'm not a fan of 4th edition but I can understand where the designers were coming from. I do suspect they will  inject brand new mechanics that compromise a little between "old school" resource management and "new school" swift style of play. Things I am hoping for but don't expect:NEW Iconic stuff with staying power: Vorpal swords, Drow elves, Eye of Vecna, etc... it's all nice but I do feel there has been a lack of iconic stuff since 1st edition. I would love to see classes that don't just sit "in between" iconic classes but become iconic themselves. I would like flavorful spells and magic items. New weird monsters like the owlbear become mainstays. New spells patterned after a wizard name. I'm not saying the new edition should be crammed with that but we need new ones if DnD is to grow. Aspects and tweaked fate points: I think DnD with its random chargen and heroic fantasy is a perfect fit for such mechanics. I think it would solve many problems I have with the system elegantly. Flavorful and fun crits: never completely satisfied with crits in DnD. 5-minute chargen: Cause that's how I like it for PCs, NPCs and monsters alike.</blockquote>
