Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ahnehnois" data-source="post: 5991549" data-attributes="member: 17106">I agree that the skill list is too small, though a lot of knowledge skills is a good thing.Agreed.This is supposed to feel like D&D. Even 3e presented rolling.Not exactly a tough houserule. You don't think they won't do it eventually, do you?There are ten (they separated neutral and unaligned). And what's wrong with the nine alignments? I thought their brief descriptions were some of the best I've ever read.Thankfully.IIRC, the problem with the 3.5 cleric was that it advanced too much and buffs added to its combat capacity. Also the first 5e playtest was too powerful in combat. Clerics aren't fighters (or "leaders"), they're priests. I thought it was a good start.Why? Rogue isn't really a combat class, and it seems as if they've given you options to either be better at combat or worse.Agreed. Rogue skills need to be toned down.I kind of agree. Kind of not.Agree with this, but it wouldn't be D&D without it. Hopefully alternate magic systems will come later.Not enough of it.i.e. good game design.Seems like they're trying to make things simpler, but I agree that they seem to have failed.Well, they've started out incredibly generously, and even the altered rules still aren't exactly what you'd call "gritty". Room for improvement in both directions perhaps.I found them rather overpowered. Immunities suck.Agreed.It isn't a real game.I doubt that.Good.Agreed.Best to get rid of these stupid thresholds.Thusfar I agree, but it's still early.Anyone should be in some danger of going down with one hit, especially with a flattened power curve, but these 1st level characters are a little weak.Again, early playtest. Even so, those will always be your fundamental options, won't they?Personally I wouldn't play it over my perfectly well houseruled 3e or even 2e, but I find it a quantum leap ahead of 4e. I'd at least consider playing it if I had to.</blockquote>
