[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 5783038, member: 40398"] I hope the following things are the default or sole options in the next iteration: Arbitrary (rather than level-based) AC Descending AC Thac0 Random Stats Random HP Percentile rolls, and pervasive system disunification "Fighters can't have nice things," and a generalized "Balance doesn't really matter" attitude Different XP tables Traditional [read: arbitrary] race, class and alignment restrictions Race level limits Many and sundry save-or-lose effects 3.x style multiclassing combined with the usual front-loaded classes Static attack and defenses for more "realism" A full return to pure +X items The assumption that "nobody [I]needs[/I] magic items" just because nobody considered what PCs need, or just because nobody bothered to write it down Level drain and XP costs Skill proficiencies or ranks The Great Wheel cosmology* I hope 5e defaults to all the things that irritate me about previous versions. Not because I have a grudge, but because I already have an edition that's awesome. If I hate 5e, my decision will be that much easier! *I'm a fan of Planescape, but honestly, the GW has only a veneer of consistency. [/QUOTE]
