[QUOTE="pming, post: 6073764, member: 45197"] Hiya. Well, looking over what Mike wrote, I have just reengaged my Interest Drive. I wasn't getting any feeling of a "base game" from the current playtests...but this little L&L update was a breath of fresh air. What I'd like to see done with the 'Basic' style of 5e is, in place of skill dice or modifiers, a character would either have or not have a skill. If they have it, they get "Advantage" when using it. Without the skill, no Advantage or no possibility of even trying (depending on skill use/situation). If someone wanted to use more advanced skills, they could, and nothing would change. Set DC-bases would work for all. With regards to giving Fighters bonus dice to STR checks, just do the same; Fighters get Advantage using STR stuff, Wizards get Advantage using INT stuff, etc. No modifiers, no muss, no fuss. As more granularity is needed for a particular group, expand into "skill dice". Anyway, my end result: Positive. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
