Microlite5E - A slim hack of fifth edition that's backwards compatible (Jan 2016: now with 2-page class sheets)

I'll have to do a thorough reading to provide any substantial feedback, but I do have questions.

1. Is there a reason why some classes get one secondary ability and others get two?
2. Why does the dark elf get a drawback to its racial trait when no other race does?
3. What's up with the addition of so many non-standard player races?

Hi Afrodyte,

The secondary abilities are based on what's recommended for the classes in the PHB. The designers based it on whether there are different builds that depend on different abilities, or not.

As a second level spell, darkness is a bit more powerful than the other racial traits, so I tried to balance it out with the light blindness.

There's no particular reasoning behind having lots of new races. Some races have lost their subraces, so the new races go some way to correcting that.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Are you also the Dark Dungeons guy (Black the Blackball)?

I'm not, unfortunately - but they do great work!
