[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7616293, member: 58172"] I love 4e. It is my favorite edition of D&D. ‘Errata’ that I would like to improve include. • Make the abilities (Dexterity, Intelligence, etcetera) more salient and more equal in power. • Consolidate AC and Reflex into a single defense. Make Perception a formal defense. • Make power choice fluid. Where 4e had specific usage types (at-will, encounter, daily) at specific levels, it became awkward. Allow any kind of power, when a power becomes available. • Make 4e depend less on a grid. Use consistent ballpark measurements, and powers friendlier to theater of mind. • Build Psionics into the core gaming system as a normal part of the game. It handles all mental magic, telekinetic force. • Make 5e-style feats, equal to a +2 ability score boost. • More customization, swapping class and race features. • Continuing to gain powerful race and cultural features at higher levels. (Besides taking a race as class). • Drop the word ‘race’ from D&D, and instead use ‘ancestry’, ‘heritage’, ‘culture’, or so on. • Include Clerics for nonpolytheistic spiritual traditions. 5e Xanathars has good wording, Eberron has good play. • Elf as ‘type’, so different elven ‘cultures’ can have very different mechanics. Compare Dragon, Giant, Elemental, as types. I am sure I will recall more wishes as I think back to 4e. This is a pretty good time for everyone to post their wish lists for the 4e update. [/QUOTE]
