Or more importantly (to me), what would I want to see?<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Streamline rules and less of them:  From what I hear, this is pretty well taken care of in the beginner's box.  So I think we already have that checked (I just want all the change in one book).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> A reduction of feats.  To keep this balanced what I am thinking is combining feats into larger feats. So instead of a fighter & skill feat at lvl 2 & 4; you get a fighter feat (a combined feat) at lvl 2 and a skill feat (a combined feat) at level 4, or something similar. I might get rid of ancestery feats all together (maybe keep one, and make most of these to your initial ancestry/sub ancestry, or background choice. Ideally I would like half as many feat choices max.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Simplified classes. I want mean is less reliance on tactical choices.  My players are not tactically minded and they just want simple mechanics. Not sure how to do this one.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Remove the martial reliance on striking runes (this may not be backward compatible). I am think of how "basic" attacks progressed in damage as you leveled up.  I think this is in the GMG maybe? But I would prefer it was backed in.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I would like to get rid of the +1/level. I know this is in the GMG, but I would like it to be the default and monsters already calculated this way.  I realize this is not backwards compatible, but this is my wishlist.</li> </ol></blockquote>
