[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6327039, member: 92511"] What better way to spend a sopping storm-filled July 4th than reading through the 5e Basic rules. I am ecstatic as a porcine in fecal matter. Coupla nits n' noticed things so far... [I] Healing Word[/I]: 1st level evocation, [I]Cure Light Wounds[/I]: 1st level evocation, [I]Revivify[/I]: 3rd level [I]conjuration[/I]?, [I]Heal[/I]: 6th level evocation..[I].Mass Heal[/I]: 9th level [B][I]conjuration[/I][/B]?? [I]Spare the Dying[/I]? [B][I]Necromancy cantrip[/I][/B]?! Dunno if I'm on board (or at all follow their reasoning) with all this here. [I]Misty Step[/I]: a 2nd level mini [30 ft.] teleport. Definitely not on board with 3rd level mages getting a controlled [I]Blink[/I]. We'll be blinking that right outta the game. Really like the treatment of Material components being garnered through a component pouch (for the traditionalists, like moi) or a spellcasting focus (for the Harry Potter generation). Really like seeing that Druidic casting will (or[I] can[/I]) involve some kind of focus. In general, loving the equipment list filled with all kinds of fun/extra goodies. The "Trinkets" table is full of fun potential. Fluff material, in general, for the races, explanations of sub-races and classes are all really clear and evocative. The use of known D&D fictional characters in the examples are a cool nod/touch. Also, to reiterate, the nods to other classic D&D stuff in the disclaimer and such is good nostalgic fun.
