[QUOTE="Grazzt, post: 4555037, member: 7"] Yep. Pretty much agree. Though (and this may tie into #1 on your list): * relegate the dragonborn and tiefling to non-core. Maybe the eladrin too (if not, remove the fey step ability and replace with something else) * powers are gone. If we gotta do something like powers instead of class abilities (as in pre 4e), then talent trees akin to Star Wars Saga * No more "I rest for 6 hours and all my hit points are restored" (it doesnt matter what hp represent in this incarnation or any incarnation of the game; it's kinda stupid they all come back after just 6 hours no matter if you only have 1 left out of 100 possible) Probably more I can think of...just those come to mind at the moment. But I do agree with #3 above.
