I really like how item and spell rarity, crafting formulas, downtime, and rituals encourage players to engage with the setting outside of their adventures. When I look at the archetypes in the Lost Omens World Guide and previews of the organization archetypes from the Lost Omens Character Guide I feel like they might finally be realizing the promise of what prestige classes were supposed to be all about. I love that learning Raise Dead can be a story event instead of just something that automatically happens. I love that players might have to seek out training in game for a particular archetype. I hope I get to see a Hell Knight test at the table sometime. I love that the roleplaying advice for the character classes calls out a fighter starting a keep, a wizard starting a school, a rogue starting a thieve's a guild, and a cleric starting a temple. I love that the Atone, Consecrate, and Summon Planar Ally rituals require that the secondary casters share your religion. I love that many rituals require more secondary casters than your group has people.Here's something I am hoping for : I am hoping that combat with fewer PCs and individual scenes work well. Based on experience with the group I am playing with fighting higher level monsters with a group of 6 PCs feels compelling. I hope the same is true in reverse. I hope a fighter facing off against 3 guards by himself feels good. I hope that since everyone gets experience when anyone accomplishes anything it will encourage players to be fans of each other.One of the reasons I abandoned Fourth Edition was because of the focus on group tactics in combat and in skill challenges. I am hoping this is a version of Dungeons and Dragons where I can focus more on individual character stories and have everyone enjoy it and cheer each other on.One final gush : I love that Clerics and Champions feel like they are part of an actual religion with an actual dogma. I am really looking forward to Lost Omens Gods and Magic which is supposed to have rules that help bring the gods to life and provide incentives for other characters to be practicing members of a religion.Basically I love the focus on who the characters are beyond the adventures they go on.</blockquote>
