[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 7847352, member: 23716"] I guess I'll weigh in along with everybody else. Overall I like the idea and design very much for this round. It allows a lot of versatility and smooths over some rough patches. Some of my concerns are that 1 level dips are very tempting for a lot of these features, particularly among the martials, but that is often the case for UA offerings. Spell casting: I, for the most part, like the expanded spell lists; is there anyone that doesn't get enhance ability now? Though I have concerns that this tends to homogenize spell casters even more, though 5e does not emphasize this particular flavor of niche protection as much as past editions. I'm not sure the Bard, and to a lesser extent the Sorcerer and Warlock need to be quite that flexible in swapping out their spells on a daily basis. Things like Magical secrets for the Bard were already more than enough here, though I can see why they did it on the Sorcerer, and perhaps the Warlock. I would rather they had more thematic and class specific options, like an extra metamagic or Invocation pick. Even Wizards rarely feel the need to change their entire load out from day to day, IME, so being able to swap just one out every day seems like a huge versatility boost. I guess time will tell.
